With this objective, we have designed a survey intended to collect data on the habits of use and consultation of these guides by students.

We also try to get clues on how to prepare a new type of document, that we name Student Guide, which better convey the information the student needs. The preliminary results from this survey, that has been released to general level in our university, indicate that these guides could be much a more useful and clear communication mechanism for the dissemination of information to students.
