This paper examines the views of a group of experts on the term "information literacy life cycle" and the application of information literacy standards and models in the Ibero-American context. Using the Delphi method, it explores the views of a group of experts made up of INFOLIT academics and professionals. The results show that the concept of "life cycle" is not generally accepted by the participant experts, that there is agreement regarding INFOLIT essential stages and that the experts know and apply international standards and models on INFOLIT, alongside some models developed from their own countries. All in all, the paper aims to contribute to a broader international panorama on information literacy.
