Résumé:
This research attempts to highlight , on the one hand , the importance of
continuous education for information specialists and , on the other hand , their
aptitudes in organising and managing part of library collection , in addition to
their mastery of strategies of electronic information search which enables them
to have a rapid and an efficient access to useful information. All this helps
them to contribute to the improvement of the user’s pedagogical level in
libraries in general , and the University Mentouri Constantine libraries in
particular.
We have led a survey around the situation of the information specialist’s
training in relation to the progress achieved in the field of information and
libraries to identify his skills in mastering strategies of electronic information
search at the University Mentouri Constantine libraries .We have adopted the
descriptive approach and used the questionnaire to collect data.The questionees
are , on the one hand , the “ assistants ”,the “attaches de recherche” and “chief
librarians” of university libraries. The purpose is to evaluate the pedagogical
impact of information specialist’s training on these users.
We have reached significant results that confirm the established hypotheses
and show the need of information specialists for training enrichment from the
part of their institution by arranging practical training sessions. This will make
the users satisfied by the services offered by the library , and able to have an
easy access to electronic information inside the library and outside it.
