Objective: To analyze information literacy in the pedagogical projects of the technical courses in environmental studies at the Federal Institute of Pará. Methodology: A literature review established the historical relationship between information literacy and the librarian profile needed to foster this competency and to structure the checklist. In the documentary study, based on Bardin’s categorical analysis, the information skills outlined in the course’s pedagogical project were identified and linked to the checklist. Results: Information skills aligned with the program's curricular guidelines were designed for these future professionals, including: accessing information effectively, using information accurately and creatively, seeking information according to their needs, and appreciating the various creative forms of information. Final Considerations: This conclusion was reached based on the nine competencies and the corresponding information skills designed for the course. Mapping information literacy in the educational environment constitutes a strategic approach, particularly for optimizing library projects and services aimed at developing this competency in this context.
