Abstract:

Based on an analysis of Twigg and Miloff (1998) of the changes which are underway in the educational system, which will lead to new types of learning environments with greater emphasis on competences and information literacy, the digital library is introduced as a natural and necessary component of the learning environment of the future. Next the situation at Tilburg University is described. Competences of teaching staff are developed in a highly customised approach which seems to be promising. Finally, plans for a central facility for ICT and education, which operates as a network organisation, are discussed.
