This document addresses the reading practices of young university students from the Faculty of Information Sciences, of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí. The mixed approach was used, with the quantitative and qualitative method with an intentional sample made up of eight students from the Information Management Degree. Among the main results, it was found that the reading tastes of the students are love stories (50 %), science fiction (38 %), mystery and self-improvement (25%). 63 % read out of obligation, for personal growth (50 %) and for general knowledge (38%). The main reading obstacle is the lack of concentration (38 %). Students increase their reading when they have a sentimental problem. The teacher continues to be the main social actor that favors reading approaches at school.

Keywords : University students; reading obstacles; required reading.
