In line with the knowledge explosion, the expansion in the amount of knowledge becomes ofgreat importance while acess to knowledge gains importance and increasing attention isfocused thereon. The societies make progress to be a society of knowledgelinformation due toemphasis they place on knowledge and investments made in information. The levels ofknowledge production, information consumption anduse of information in problem solving areconsidered in creation of a society of information(knowledge), in the society of knowledge theeducational paradigms are changed and as a result of technological developments, theteaching techniques have tended to change. In the 21 st century the traditional (conventional)approach of "teaching" has been placed by the concept of "learning to learn". TheStudent/Learner is no longer one who waits for being learned, who receives the packagodknowledge instead is one who is active in learning assumes his/her responsibility for learning,and who is researcher and Explorer of knowledge. In the process of learning, the conceptbased on textbooks as principal (primary) source is changed to a variety of sourcescontributed audio-visual , and written aids. The educational process is not limited to schooleducation and it appears that need for learning covers the life time. Due to increase in amountof knowledge and technological development over the last decacade, the need for learningcovers such topics as diversity, the "skill-based" character of literacy, recognisition of need forinformation, localisation of information source, access to knowledge, formulation of searchstrategies , analysis of knowledge, interpretation, evaluation, communication, possession ofproblem solving skills, source-based training, life time learning, the learning society, continuingtraining, reforms towards curriculum, democratisations, and respect for copyright.Findings from the research conducted on State Conservatory Students of Sakarya Universityindicate that the library facilities and the education received do not allow for development ofskills to receive training knowledge while indicating that the students are willing to access toknOWledge and to use sources of information effectively.
