The research aimed to identify the elements of continuing education in Information Literacy by Distance Learning that could impact on the development of information skills for teachers and librarians. Thus it was used as an empirical basis the specialization course "Information Literacy: education for the information"-CELI, offered by the Federal University of Goiás in the Distance Learning mode. The quantitative and qualitative approaches were used as a methodology for data collection, and content analysis and surveys as techniques. The surveys were applied to current students in order to evaluate it and the content analysis included activities developed by them to identify information literacy in the ethical, aesthetic, technical and political dimensions. Also were analyzed the political pedagogical project and the virtual learning environment of the course in order to identify relevant aspects of learning. We conclude that the components educational material, teachers, tutors, teaching strategies, assessment methodologies and the virtual learning environment affect the quality of a distance learning course decisively and therefore should be planned according to these characteristics. Also, understand that to work the dimensions of information literacy more effectively, it is essential that tasks are aimed at practical implementation capacity of the acquired knowledge, thus requiring the use of "assessment methodologies learning" more interactive and innovative.
ResumoNa sociedade contemporânea a capacitação contínua ao longo da vida é condição para que os indivíduos possam atuar como cidadãos críticos e reflexivos. Nesse contexto, a formação continuada é fundamental para o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades que não tenham sido aprendidas na graduação. O artigo apresenta reflexão sobre o potencial da Educação a Distância na formação continuada de professores e bibliotecários para a prática informacional, como atores fundamentais para que o letramento informacional seja implantado e consolidado na escola. Pesquisa realizada no portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior mostra a existência de poucos trabalhos publicados sobre cursos de letramento informacional por Educação a Distância, em especial para a formação de bibliotecários. Palavras-chave: Bibliotecários. Competência informacional. Educação a distância. Formação continuada. Professores.
