Show the variety, potential and wealth of information available in international agencies

The course aims to guide students through the complexities of international relations and the great variety of international agencies, both governmental and non governmental.

A first theoretical chapter attempts to identify objects and agents of international relations, and to examine international strategies.

The second part is devoted to an analysis of major institutions in greater detail.

The course is based on current world events. It tries to highlight roles played by large organizations and describe their operational methods. It also shows the kind of information available in these organizations.

It is a critical of information resources provide to the public and attempts to give some advice to compensate loopholes and shortcomings of available systems.

7. Field trips

1. Study of user's  needs

2. Promotion of reading according to the "plan de développement de la lecture"

Reading as a psychological and sociological phenomenon, literacy and promotion of reading.

This course aims to convey a sum of knowledge relevant to culture in general, and a method for humanist thought. To understand how the flutter of a butterfly's wings can result in an anticyclone is much the same as understanding how the invention of the ritual Mesopotamian calendar has led to the theory of relativity. Within the framework of educating information specialists, it seems essential  to apprehend the notions of evolution of scientific thought from a pluralistic point of view, without compromising with sound principles and with no preconceptions. Our view must be interdisciplinary and free from dogma.

The course of third year begins with sciences and technology from the « Renaissance ». Sciences of the times Classiques and Modern finish the reviews historical. Modern science is generally approached in complement of the courses of biology, physics and chemistry. Let us recall that the course of history of sciences and technology is never approached under the purely scientific angle but rather under the cultural and political angle.

At the end of the lessons, students should be able to :

• Explain shortly the meaning of notions and scientific words used by P.A.C.S. and relate them to the field they belong to.
• Give an account of the diverse subjects appearing in the study of the theory  dealing with the structure of the matter

Physics and other disciplines

Mechanics

Structure of matter

Thermodynamics

Electromagnetism

Waves

Modern physic

Enable future special librarians to read and fairly understand texts in chemistry. The aim is to be able to find appropriate popular scientific literature to meet the needs of average users of public libraries or secondary school libraries

The course of the third  year is a complement of the course of biology-biomedical. The concepts of respiratory biochemistry, mutagenèse chemical and teratology (physics-chemical) give a "chemical" lighting on the course of biomedical.

The course of biology-biomedical is the continuation of the course of second year. It begins with the study from the meiosis applied to the gamatogenesis. Following the study of the mechanisms of the reproduction, concepts of embryology are approached; embryopathy and foetopathy are analyzed. Concepts of microbiology (virology and bacteriology) are approached under triple historical, medical and industrial aspect. Immunology and elements of genetics (primarily genetic engineering and biotechnological tools) finalize the course.

At the end of the course, the student must be able to

• - find his/her way in the field of philosophy and religions;
• - advise the user
• - come to a justified decision about orders

Philosophy

Christian theology

Non Christian religions

Students will be able to give thoughtful and critical analysis and summary of the course's content

- Site Internet : www.regardencoulisse.com

- Dossier pédagogique du spectacle choisi (réalisé par le Service JEUNESSE de l'ORW)

- Le Petit Figaro (Périodique bimestriel édité par l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie)

- The programme of the show/ the opera the students attend

The course is interactive. Students take notes during lectures on the history of the opera and ask questions. We watch one or several opera excerpts (on DVDs in class) and exchange impressions and comments. We also attend a show/ an opera (introduced in class) at The Royal Opera House of Wallonia. The students will later have to express a personal comment during their assessment.

Students are asked to express a personal comment about the show/ the opera they saw.

Course aims to give students a knowledge of art, over viewing the more important civilizations in order to give them better insight of different artistic expressions.

The goal is also to give them some useful knowledge for future library work.

At the end of the course, students must be able to :

• Identify major artistic movements (for lack of time, we will focus on the western world)
• Know names of significant artists and works
• Give a brief analysis of a work of art so as to link it to a particular movement
• Knowledge of specialized terminology

The course follows a chronological course, focusing on architecture, painting, sculpture. However, the approach may vary according to the civilization :

• Romanesque and gothic
• Renaissance
• Western art from the 17^th century to the present (contents of the last chapter may vary)

Understand and be able to use a set of current legal, social, and economic notions

Approach to current events, with respect to their legal, economic, and social aspects (functioning of the Belgian state, political thought, economic role of the state).
