The university library has become a transforming space. Maintaining the social role to which they are called has supposed and presupposes new challenges. This paper tries from a documentary approach and on the basis of metric tools to outline in a general way how the university libraries are oserved from the paradigm of knowledge and their management in this century. Some of their essential components are described. The authors reflect on the challenge the university libraries have to face on becoming centers of resources for learning and research. Finally, it is analyzed the thematic behaviour of the research on the topic from 2002 to 2007 based on an exploration carried out in the Web of Science. There is coherence in this field of study and there are many aspects on which the research in the area of academic and university libraries should be focussed

Keywords : University libraries; centers of resources for learning and research; quality; ALFIN.
