The causal relationships and impact of the different librarian information resources (printed, digital, services and physical spaces) on the academic competitiveness (productivity, quality and innovation) of 33 accredited Mexican universities are evaluated applying structural equation models (SEM) with the technique of partial least squares (PLS). The results show that some of the information resources positively impact productivity and academic quality, but not innovation. The PLS-SEM multivariate analysis proved to be very valuable in assessing the causal relationships in the proposed models, so its use is widely recommended.
