El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior: una oportunidad para una relación más estrecha entre biblioteca y docencia

The adaptation of the Pontificia Comillas University of Madrid Library and its professional staff to the new concept of library, required by the new European guidelines can be mainly seen in the users' training area. In the context of the new EEES and the new degrees, during the last two academic years we have applied a new experience that goes beyond the basic training of users. This is about the active contribution and collaboration in the documentation subject in the Translation and Interpretation degree. This contribution has two clearly different axes, as it includes a programme with theoretical units and, the students have to present a bilingual lexicographic essay at the end. For the theoretical area, the librarians, as the specialists in this subject, we presented some subjects: information units, how to search and value the information, classifications and thesaurus. In the practical area, we guided them through the different sources of specialised information so that they could carry away the research for their essays. They were taught about the different supports and different sources, quality, open access, learning to find the information efficiently and appropriately, to choose it, to value it and to know how to use it in a legal and ethic manner. With this relation, not only we are contributing to the new concept of teaching focussed in the learning aspects, but we are also aiming to build the library as an active part of the University, directly linked with the degrees and the formation of teachers.
