Abstract

During the past twenty years the „global phenomenon e-government“ and public e-services offered a new way of interaction with government and public administration. The public library became an access point to e-government and e-services. In addition, the role of the libraries and librarians in e-government is most important – they are „bridge“, intermediaries between e-government services and citizens. This is why today’s library and information specialists should have enough competences and professional skills in order to achieve customers’ needs. There are different forms of education in the field of e-government – on Bachelor and Master Degree at the University and qualification courses (lifelong learning). The article discus integration of E-government courses into LIS programs as the right way for preparing future information specialists in Bulgaria.
