Abstract

The informational behavior of students and professors of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza (FESZ) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) during the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, is studied in the Biblioteca Digital UNAM (BIDI UNAM) before the total closure of libraries, which limited the consultation of printed books and journals. A quantitative research was carried out with the statistical data analysis technique from the access logs to the BIDI UNAM, wich in total included 15,597 accesses, compared to two periods, before and during the pandemic, obtaining as a result an increase in accesses, in addition to the promotion of information literacy strategies for the use and exploitation of information resources, which can be integrated into the teaching and learning processes, strengthening the educational model of the FESZ.
