English Abstract

The paper underlines the new role the Libraries worldwide can play as electronic guides inside an organizational schedule where the meanings of collaboration and interactivity dominate.

Libraries gather, organize and deliver the information the peoples of the world need for their health, wealth and pleasure.

Libraries deliver highly technical information but also the resources which educate and entertain the children of the world.

Libraries make available both the thoughts and dreams of great writers and the mundane documentation of day to day government.

They present both the wisdom and the folly of the ages.

They prize honest information, not propaganda, and a diversity of voices, allowing users to make up their own minds.

The point is how to provide not only information but also real knowledge to the patrons and the librarians themselves and how the whole thing can be done under the prearrangements of accuracy, promptness and validity.

In the electronic époque we live and work, we need the best results in the quicker time.

We search for collaborative solutions worldwide ; let's see how Libraries and Open Academic Institutions can be real e-educators.
