- Acquire the theoretical and methodological principles oriented to the planning, organization and evaluation of storage and retrieval information systems.

- Acquire the theoretical and methodological principles oriented to the study, analysis and evaluation of the processes of information storage and retrieval.

- Acquire the knowledge and competences related with the main information storage methods, formats and platforms.

- Acquire the competences and abilities to perform the techniques of organization and evaluation of information storage and retrieval systems.

- Understand and apply the techniques, standards and other tools related with representation, retrieval, access and use of information.

- Apply and correctly use the technologies, considering them as a non dissociated component of the information retrieval and evaluation of information resources processes.
