The initial and continuing academic programs for teacher librarians in France have to face major changes in their content and organization. A new social request for distance learning courses crosses a changing conceptual, epistemic and technological content that demands the implementation of adapted academic policies. The creation of distance learning curricula in universities is based on three factors: - A new perspective on information culture which includes cross-cultural and critical knowledge about information, media and computer science. This "transliteracy" dimension is congruent to the logic of distance learning. - The emphasis in use and reflection on information and communication tools that are common to existing curricula and distance learning courses. - The necessity of alternative training strategies for the universities which includes experimentation of information technologies as learning tools, objects and subjects.
