“…... [it] will aid them [the graduates] in their studies through life." (Poole, 1894, p.3) Like a previous paper by Virkus and Metsar, this paper also gives an overview of the close connection between learning and the university library today and in the future (Virkus & Metsar, 2004). While it speaks of the role of the university library as a service institution it also considers the role of the university itself, and here especially about the future of learning in general.…”

This paper gives an overview of the close connection between learning -which is seen as a constructivist, active, selfdirected and social process -and the university library. It discusses the role of the university library in the electronic learning environment, and considers the physical library as a place of learning which is not out of date. It also considers information literacy as the key to the library's educational role regarding its contents. Organisational issues hold together the three points mentioned above, the learning library as the prerequisite of the learning-empowering and learning-facilitating library.

“…The significance of the topic derives from the fact that academic libraries have undoubtedly an important role in education and research (Saunders, 2015;Oakleaf, 2010;Virkus and Metsar, 2004; Commission of the European Communities, 2003). They serve as the core of universities and contribute actively in the support of teaching, learning, research and science appliance (American Library Association, 2016; Association of College and Research Libraries, 2010).…”

In this paper, I briefly present my doctoral thesis research proposal. Recognizing that information has long been an important asset for any organization, I wish to explore in depth the management and use of information in contemporary information-intensive organizations such as academic libraries. Additionally, this research proposal emerges out of recognition that the academic library is a dynamic, living information and knowledge creation organization. Fulfillment of this potential requires that information processes are integrated in the academic library's daily work life in order to contribute to organizational learning. However, the literature confirms that while academic library managers manage and use information as a commodity, they do not manage and use it as an asset for their organization which could lead to organizational learning. Through a systems thinking approach and drawing on the theories of information management, organizational knowledge creation and organizational learning, this interpretive ethnographic research study wishes to explore the perceptions of academic library managers regarding the management and use of information for the better operation and development of their organization. This research proposal serves as a starting point for an exploratory research study on Information Management that can contribute to organizational learning in academic library organizations.

À l’heure de la mondialisation aussi bien économique que culturelle et alors que l’Unesco lance, avec l’IFLA (Fédération internationale des associations de bibliothécaires et d’institutions), un vaste programme de recensement mondial des initiatives dans le domaine du développement des compétences informationnelles, peut-on parler d’une spécificité européenne dans les formations documentaires proposées aux étudiants ? Quel impact les textes et réformes européennes ont-ils sur la formation à la maîtrise de l’information ? À partir de quelques exemples précis et en s’appuyant notamment sur la situation française, l’article dressera un tableau des développements récents dans le domaine de la maîtrise de l’information.
