The role of a library in a student’s learning process

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to determine the role of a library in a student’s learning process during reflective practice at university. In order to achieve this purpose, library services are discussed, as well as the attitudes of mentors and librarians towards the contemporary role of a library in a student’slearning process during their practice. The qualitative phenomenological research has revealed that a library is a place where students can use not only programs necessary for finding subject literature, but also various databases, electronic books and periodicals. The study has found that a library is an information multiplier, assistant, consultant and facilitator for students during the process of their practice. The study has highlighted the educational multifunctional role of a library.
