Web pages constitute a means of facilitating knowledge. The work was carried out with the objective of designing and implementing a virtual library to favor the information management process of the Department of Scientific and Technical Information and the Library of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Bayamo. Observation, surveys and interviews were used in the development of the content of the site. Five processes were carried out to develop the product: initial planning of the site, definition, design and standards, commissioning, and maintenance plan. To create the page, the content manager WordPress was used; PHP, MySQL, Apache, XAMPP and Windows were used as the programming language, database engine, Web server, free software package and operating system, respectively. It is concluded that the implementation of the virtual library facilitates the information management process, awakens the interest in research, and contributes to the information literacy of health users who enter the web. It will facilitate visibility, library technical management, disclosure, dissemination, and use of available information services and resources.

Keywords : virtual libraries; virtual university library; digital libraries; library services; library automation; virtual health library.
