- Academic Libraries are at a reformation stage in the center of serious changes in the educationl system in world of disintegrated cultures. Academic libraries should reexamine their role in relation to the historical response to University's role. University's historical role, as universitas litterarum, shifted to scientific practicalities in the twentieth century. The beggining and the end of the Logic Empiricism, the birth of the 'new paradigm' created new model of knowledge organisation of the academic library. The hypothesis of this presentation is based on the principle that the organisation of the University is the model of the academic library organisation. The new University in the next millenium should support the principles of a technological humanism, where the term "technological humanism" as a means of transporting qualitative and not quantitative applications and strategies, will sign a new direction to educational models of universal communnication and collaboration. The University itself working on the strategic objective to creaate scientists able to work within their own 'tecnological and scientific space' will form a new historical role in order to replace former ideas and practices of the logic empiricism. New concepts of a universal educational system will be accomplished when the center will be the 'technological humanism', capable of bringing together the 'bios thheoretikos' and 'bios praktikos'. This dual dimension in University's role would rise the academic library as the central mechanism for thhe ultimate evaluation of the information resource on the basis of its completeness, accessibility, functionality and finally with the involvement of the information resource into a holistic model of knowledge organisation. The University in Greece, operating in a long period crisis in terms of strategy, make all depended on it mechanisms, as the case of academic library, to seem fragile and auxiliary, incapable of understanding changes and incorporating them into a credible holistic planning. Te undergraduate and postgraduate studies as well as the academic and research work appear as parts of a future without vision and strategy. In addition, academic libraries in Greece absorb an extended amount of money under the European Second Support Program for reconstruction but without a framework of principles for the educational system. This paper will try to bring on academic libraries' perspective the term 'technological humanism', that is, this new concept as the basic concept in a strategic, national planning.
