- As it is referred, amongst other, in the “Regulations of Operation of the Library of the University of Cyprus”, the mission of the Library includes “The servicing of the wider scientific community of Cyprus, within the Library’s capabilities and to the extend that its tasks to the Academic Community are not hurt”. During the last three years, the Library of the University of Cyprus has not been restricted to simply attracting of new external users as library members. Exploiting its accumulated know how and the potentiality of the information technologies, the Library of the University of Cyprus, expands systematically its planning and consciously and symmetrically incorporates to its activities per se, the development of a local information content infrastructure. In this paper the completed, on going and/or planned projects to this direction are referred, as well as the constraints and difficulties that are met. Namely it is described the contribution of the Library of the University of Cyprus to the staff and users training, the computerization, the organization of retrospective cataloguing and retrospective conversion, the expansion of the existing libraries Consortium, the creation of OPACs and Union Catalog of the Cypriot Libraries, as well the cooperation with research institutes of the Island for the creation of the first islets of digital libraries within an environment where the development of the Libraries has notably been delayed. Thus the Library of the University of Cyprus contributes "to the measure of its capabilities" in the preparation the wider local environment to confront the challenges and opportunities of the emerging Information Society.
