Presentation: <\/b>According to the conclusions of reports by international organizations and experts in information science , libraries and documentation institutions of various universities and higher education and research institutions in Arab Maghreb countries suffer from lack of material and human resources. This has resulted in the dispersion of efforts and inefficient services. It is believed \u00a0that information and documentation services have failed to streamline their operations and hence failed to \u00a0respond to constantly growing information needs ofstudents , teachers as well as various types of users .
\nThe alternative revolves around collaborative work: the preferred mode of action of an era of intelligence and complexity . Thus, the meeting is primarily designed to educate librarians and information on dangers arising from the absence of a framework for coordinating knowledge content that face our countries. In addition , this meeting will facilitate better adaptation to rapid changes resulting from the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT).<\/p>\n

The objective is to realize the dream of the Maghreb united \u00a0documentary services, ranging from a simple utopia to a concrete reality through implementating projects that are already underway , such as the proposed ” Maghreb digital library “; and the project of creating academic libraries\u2019 networks ” ISTeMag .” Cooperation in its various forms enables one to cope with difficulties inherent in managing technical and scientific information in each country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022 Themes<\/b> : history of knowledge sharing and inter-university systems across the Maghreb. St. Augustine, Ibn Khaldun and academic institutions such as Zeituna evoke the cultural traits common amongMaghreb countries .
\n\u2022 The conceptual framework of the cooperative dimension and management theories of collective intelligence, collaboration and cooperation , of federation and resource sharing.
\n\u2022 Academic, public and school libraries : reality and prospects of cooperation among Maghreb countries.
\n\u2022 Cooperation from an organizational perspective (networks, documentalit consortia , etc.) and partnership at national, regional , international and \/ or multilateral levels.
\n\u2022 New information and communication technologies ” ICT ” and modern management methods ( knowledge management, learning centers. Massive Open Online Courses, etc.) and the advent of Open Source and free sources.
\n\u2022 Cooperation from the technical point of view (union catalogs , union document processing , interlibrary loan, etc. )

Tunis les 23-24-25 Avril 2014<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9sentation\u00a0:<\/span><\/b> Selon les conclusions des rapports \u00e9tablis par les organisations internationales et les experts en sciences de l\u2019information, les biblioth\u00e8ques et les institutions documentaires appartenant aux universit\u00e9s et aux diff\u00e9rents instituts d\u2019enseignement sup\u00e9rieur et de recherche dans les diff\u00e9rents pays du Maghreb Arabe souffrent du manque de ressources mat\u00e9rielles et humaines. Ceci a eu pour cons\u00e9quence la dispersion de leurs efforts et l\u2019inefficacit\u00e9 de leurs services. Ils estiment que ces services d\u2019information et de documentation n\u2019ont pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 rationaliser leurs modes de fonctionnement et par l\u00e0 m\u00eame \u00e0 pouvoir r\u00e9pondre aux besoins informationnels, sans cesse croissants, des \u00e9tudiants, des enseignants ainsi que de divers types d\u2019utilisateurs.<\/p>\n

L\u2019alternative s\u2019articule autour\u00a0 du travail collaboratif qui devient le mode d’action privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 de l’\u00e8re de l’intelligence et de la complexit\u00e9. Pour cela, cette rencontre a pour but essentiel de sensibiliser les biblioth\u00e9caires et les documentalistes aux dangers r\u00e9sultants de l\u2019absence d\u2019un cadre de coordination en mati\u00e8re de connaissance qui guettent nos pays. De plus, cette rencontre permettra de mieux s\u2019adapter aux changements rapides issus de l\u2019usage des nouvelles technologies de l\u2019information et de la communication \u00ab\u00a0NTIC\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

L\u2019objectif est de pouvoir r\u00e9aliser le r\u00eave de l\u2019union maghr\u00e9bine des services documentaires, passant ainsi d\u2019une simple utopie \u00e0 une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 concr\u00e8te \u00e0 travers la concr\u00e9tisation de projets d\u00e9j\u00e0 entam\u00e9s, tels que le projet de \u00ab\u00a0la biblioth\u00e8que num\u00e9rique maghr\u00e9bine\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0; et le projet de la cr\u00e9ation de r\u00e9seaux de biblioth\u00e8ques universitaire \u00ab\u00a0ISTeMag\u00a0\u00bb. La coop\u00e9ration, sous ses diff\u00e9rentes formes, permettra de faire face aux difficult\u00e9s inh\u00e9rentes aux services de traitement des informations techniques et scientifiques dans chaque pays.<\/p>\n
