Changes in the environment- political, economic, social, educational and technological- have had an impact in many areas of LIS professionals work. As in many parts of the world, creating, storing and diffusing digital information occurs on a daily basis, and formally constructed digital libraries constitute an important component of this virtual information environment. Education in digital librarians has been offered in many countries with more approaches but similar issues. Amongst the various issues that have arisen and demanded consideration and investigation are the importance of a multidisciplinary dimension in the education of digital librarians; that a gradual convergence is identified between Library Archives Museums (LAM) cultural institutions; the new modes of learning and teaching, with particular regard to new pedagogy and e-learning; and finally even a reconsideration of the new role of the information professional and new service models for their praxis. The work done by th e IFLA Section Education and Training and other international projects are described in the presentation.
