On an international scale, a new form of documentary mediation has merged, which is embodied in the structural and physical evolution of documentary spaces. In France, the school library (le "Centre de Documentation et d'Information": CDI) is under the responsibility of a teacher-librarian. He is in charge of teaching students information literacy along with managing the library. Students are welcome to the CDI when they do not attend classes and want to read or need to search information, but also in educational sessions led by the teacher-librarian. At a time when teenagers are referred to as "digital natives", what are their expectations in the school library? How to conceive school libraries so that to help youngsters achieve autonomy in the Information and Communication society?
