Abstract
The need and importance of the formation of information competencies in Cuban universities has been exposed in the scientific literature and in normative documents of the Ministry of Higher Education. Previous research reveals insufficiencies in the integration of information competencies into the academic curriculum of undergraduate degree programs in Cuban contemporary university. The analysis of the literature evidenced that one of the fundamental causes is related to the insufficiency of proposals that guarantee the transversality and convergence of the formation of information competencies in the undergraduate training processes. Therefore, this research aims to establish that curricular strategies, by guaranteeing transversality and convergence at the level of the entire curriculum, constitute a suitable variant for the curricular integration of information competencies into the academic curriculum of undergraduate degree programs in Cuban contemporary university. In the research, a review of the literature published in three Cuban scientific journals recognized in several studies as the most productive in topics of information competencies-ALFIN and in the ALFIN / IberoAmerican Wiki-Repository-Cuba, was carried out. Related to the formation of information competencies in undergraduate training processes in Cuban universities; similarly, foreign investigations on the subject were consulted. The systematization allowed an approach to the Cuban and international experiences on the integration of the formation of informational competences in the university curricula
