The Research support role of the Library of the Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences
ENThis paper presents the analysis of the survey accomplished by the Library of Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences (hereafter – Library). This Library is one of the main Lithuanian university's libraries and specializes in acquisition, accumulation and storage of resources that focus on education, didactics and teacher training. It also participates in various activities and working groups in order to investigate the informational needs of the university's researchers and students. The aim of this research is to discover how trainings and services, organized by the Library, influence the competencies of information literacy in the academic community. The study was conducted by a questionnaire that was provided to the academic community. The results of the statistical analysis indicate how educational services, provided by the Library, changed the quality of information literacy of the university's researchers and students. The results also show the model of respondents' approaches to the Library's activities and the Library's role in the support of research at the university. Moreover, the study results demonstrated that the Library itself also changes rapidly: it forms an important part of the educational environment and becomes the mediator between information and users. Keywords: information literacy, research support, library services, library role, trainings. [From the publication]
