Improving the information literacy at the Czech Technical University in Prague : support of study and research
2012
Abstract
The paper presents the activities of the Central Library of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), which was created by a merger of independent faculty libraries in 2009. The library's key role lies in supporting the educational, scientific and research activities of the university.
Its aim is to understand the information needs of both students and researchers, and to meet their expectations in terms of services and resources offered. Activities of the Central Library (CL) are developed in close cooperation with both the university management and individual teachers/researchers, and always with a respect to students' needs.
Particular examples used in CL practice are discussed in the paper.
