Reflections are made on the role of the information professional as an active protagonist in the training of informational competences and in the support to the educative change in the learning society. The antecedents of the educative fuction of the information professional in the last centuries and the points of contact with contemporary approaches connected with the support to the learning-teaching process and the development of informational competences are analyzed. The centers of learning resources, the learning communities and the e-learning systems are studied as spaces of action of the information professional in this new educative context. It is stressed that this professional needs knowledge of learning theory and pedagogical methods, as well as skills and teaching experience to design effective user training programs and informational literacy programs.

Keywords : Information professional; informational competences training; learning society.
