Abstract

Reflection on education in the 21th century with special attention to librarians' education. It emphasizes the four basic points, praised by UNESCO, for a new concept of education: to learn to know, to learn to live together, to learn to do and to learn to be. The points developed by Morin for UNESCO that will be able to improve the education of the future are presented. On this base, the role of librarians education in 21th century is examined. The educators' dilemas in these times are centered in three questions: what to teach, how to teach and why to teach. It is suggested that the Librarianship curricula must privilegie librarians' educative role and that this role must be founded in a set of values able to modify perceptions, and emphasize cooperation in detriment of technology. It is concluded that the most important function of librarians in 21th century will be being information managers
