University library, librarian-teacher relationship, bibliographic analysisAbstract
The changes in higher education brought about by the Bologna process not only affect teaching, but also units within the institution that play a critical role in assuring compliance of the teaching-learning process with the requirements. Among them is the university library, whose officers occupy a key position that requires them to rethink their professional responsibilities and to adopt a methodology for facilitating the acquisition of the competencies and skills demanded by today’s society. A first step for defining the new role of university librarians consists of analyzing the faculty’s perceptions of them, in order to plan for the necessary collaboration between the two collectives.
