摘要：The article identifies new forms of learning and teaching in the educational process at the university level, which have emerged in the 21st century both in the Republic of Croatia and throughout the world. New tasks of the faculty, university and scientific libraries, who all participate in the educational process, are connected with the development and utilization of technology (ICT) in long-distance education, and consequently in lifelong learning. While teaching and learning methods are becoming more flexible, it is the task of the digital library to become a valuable partner in education through the resources and collections it has, and which it provides via the available media, but also through the competences of its employees. Thus the libraries contribute to the quality of long-distance university-level education and research.
