With the arrival and the popularization of a digital culture in Higher Education Institutions, the academic communities changed. Their routines, managerial procedures, ways of interacting and relating to other members of the community as well as the forms of engagement in research activities, teaching and information access have been influenced by a digital matter. But this is not only granted in the surface of the university activities as it happens in other educational levels. It arrived with diverse intricacies to the disciplinary fields, different in each case, but still notorious, as it takes part of the Information and Communication Technologies to the University Curriculum.
