Abstract
The competence profile required for academic libraries is based on different types and levels of competences necessary for their managers and librarians to complete various and complex tasks put in front of them by users and the social community. The demands made by users are directed at obtaining the highest quality of services in libraries, and can be met if the level of competences found in library managers and all employed librarians is adequate. Users expect their libraries to keep up with the ongoing changes and therefore it can be said that libraries emerge as places of continuous learning. The aim of this paper is to explore which competences library managers from South-eastern Europe find the most important for information literacy of library users.
