Resumen
The NETWORK University Cooperation: Strengthening of the role of ICT in Cuban Universities for the development of the society is a VLIR project that has the aim to develop a national virtual educational network that will share courses material between all Cuban universities, at the same time and together with the virtual educational network, an information management system will be also share by all Cuban universities, that means that all Cuban professors and students can access the information stored in digital repositories and other information storage systems ("NETWORK Activity Programme," 2013). The network, in turn, is divided into three subprojects: Research in ICT related sciences; Open ICT Systems and Management and ICT supporting the educational processes and the knowledge management in higher education (ELINF). In this context, the information literacy (IL) activities are essentials.
