This presentation aims to present the results of BIBLIONET program in Mehedin
i County. As a trainer in this program I will present the collaborative learning methods that I used in my courses, and how they increase professionalism and IT skills for the librarians in my county. At the beginning I have a brief presentation of collaborative learning as a learning method. The second part is about the BIBLIONET program in Romania, and the next one is about the BIBLIONET program in Mehedin
i County. I also have a presentation about DigiTales technology, a course that improves creative and technical skills for those who attended the courses. At the end, I will speak about the role of blogs and forums in libraries development.
