尽管高校对本科生的信息素养培训越来越多，但学生在学习之初的真实的信息素养水平却从未得到评估。因此，EduDOC决定与CIUF“图书馆”委员会合作，组织一项广泛的研究，目的是客观地描述信息素养的这一初步水平，查明学生的主要弱点，并使教师能够在此基础上调整其培训。调查表是根据在魁北克进行的一项类似研究编制的，其中包括20个问题，分为与信息搜索步骤有关的五个主题。该调查于2007年9月首次发送给比利时法语社区进入高等教育机构的随机抽样学生。学生们相当差的成绩证实，如果学生要在学习中表现良好，组织一个信息素养计划是势在必行的。
Although universities are providing more and more information literacy training for their undergraduate students, the students' real level of information literacy at the beginning of their studies has never been assessed. Hence EduDOC has decided to team up with the CIUF `Library' Commission in order to organize a wide study aiming at objectively describing this initial level of information literacy, at identifying the students' main weaknesses, as well as allowing instructors to adjust their training on this basis. The questionnaire was based on a similar study carried out in Québec and contains 20 questions grouped in five themes relating to information search steps. It was sent in September 2007 to a random sample of students entering a higher education institution in the French Speaking Community of Belgium for the first time. The students' rather poor results confirm that organizing an information literacy program is imperative if students are to perform well in their studies.
