Information science specialists face to face with library users and electronic resources

are we good enough?

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes a research about the impact of the new informational environment on users of a university library. This is the first one dedicated mostly to electronic resources and it analyzes the use of certain services and resources of information and research provided by the library, and online databases offered in relation to the users’ profile. The results analysis highlighted the necessity of designing and implementing a program for the users’ education in terms of accessing e-library resources, and a regular training on all methods of searching and refining documents of librarians who provide information retrieval services of e-resources; a better marketing service is a good choice, too. The condition to remain a serious competitor in the competitive market of providing information is the flexibility and the readiness to adapt to novelty; enhanced competencies in management of high scientific value documents are also required.
