Abstract

"Learn 2010," the fourth strategic plan implemented by the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) libraries, outlines the libraries´ response to the new challenges facing European higher education in the coming years. Its motto for 2007-2010 is: "The UPC libraries give support to the new European Space of Knowledge". The main goals of "Learn 2010" include: new library facilities and spaces that allow students to work and learn in groups, with innovative and personalized services, more electronic resources that meet user information needs and expectations in an online learning environment, digital academic repositories that support scientific publication and increase the visibility of faculty and researchers´ academic output, and librarians with language skills who take on new professional challenges such as developing information literacy programs.
