Abstract:
The appearance of what known as « The Electronic Environment »
caused a lot of changes in human life sides where dealing with electronics
became an obligation to fulfill its needs.
This environment widely affected the roles and functions of university
libraries as well as the roles and functions of librarians so that the
machine became the most important tool in their work. That's what push
us to do this study. This latter aims at knowing the role of university
libraries in the development of science under the use of the new
technology electronics and if it is widely used by the researchers. The
study was applied in JIJEL's university libraries with its researchers and
librarians.
Trough this study, we try to shed some light on the role of these
libraries in the electronic environment and to see the effectiveness of this
environment in the various researches as weel as in the development and
prosperity of science. In addition to that, we seek to know the importance
of these libraries and the ways to keep then in the service of science.
As a conclusion, the university libraries play an important role in
developing science. More than, it is an obligation ; we can't push these
libraries away especially under the electronic environment that invade
the field of science. But there must be an equilibrium between these
libraries and now a days developments through using electronics in their
work, train those librarians to better use this technology and not neglect
the teacher's intrests and ambitions.
