Abstract

The author think about the public and their needs for library services from the focus of the world of representations of virtual and print culture, as this approach allows to link two universes in constant interaction: users and librarians like as a reality defined, increasingly, by the virtual / digital. Given this reality that involves a diachronic and remote relationship, but that does not ignore the culture or the printed manuscript, librarians must learn to redesign content, share new forms of normalization, discover innovative mechanisms providing service recipient training, and daring to use qualitative methods to research and unravel the behavior of "virtual reader" daring to use qualitative methods to investigate and unravel the behavior of "virtual readers" designed as models ever changing.
