Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the future of academic libraries in the era of new user needs, new skills for staff and services offered. The literature shows the evolution of new technologies and the implications they have on the staff, library services and new user needs. The discussions in this paper are surrounded by conceptualization of what the library products and services will be in future academic libraries. It also looks at future studies that explore opportunities for librarians to advance their professional role. Design/methodology/approach This is a literature-based conceptual paper that draws on a wide range of literature that hypothetically looks at the future roles of professional librarians, the collection, services and the evolution of technology on the new user needs. Findings The library today will give the basis for the future librarian’s role, the emerging user needs and impact of service delivery. Technological advances have also affected the establishment of library systems and services offered. The emerging future roles will generally depend on how advanced the libraries are in the region or country including Kenya. Originality/value This paper adds a flexible approach to the skills, services as a role of future librarians.

The Objective of this paper was to describe the current status of continued professional development of healthcare workers in Serbia and knowledge of Internet tools being a support to their education. A crosssectional descriptive study was applied utilizing an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The sample consisted of 201 health workers from two Serbian districts. Results show that 27 (13.4%) had no permanent Internet access. At Internet based continued medical education courses participated 45 (22.4%) health workers and only 10 (5.0%) used electronic services of Serbian Library Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition. In any time of their professional life 155 (77.1%) had never wrote any paper. There were 73 (36.3%) users of social Internet network, 33 (16.4%) were in contact with telemedicine, 14 (7.0%) heard something about distance e-health, 184 (91.5%) thought that has insufficient computer skills and 15 (7.5%) has no skills. Healthcare professionals in Serbia use mostly the scientific meetings for CME but without active participation. The research shows a great need for development of computer skills, Internet tools knowledge and inclusion in Serbian Library Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition.
