Libraries, as one of the fundamental supporting axes of one's educative and formative processes, are considered to be places of public access, neutral, transparent and trustworthy, open areas of possibility for people. They have currently begun to take a turn in their form of management, becoming bonding organizations, meeting places, where opinions are exchanged, creating and articulating social networks, using participative methodologies in which the ordinary citizens may learn to interact and broaden their vision of the world, as well as expressing needs, participating with an informed opinion in subjects of interest that concern him/her. Having said this, we may state that libraries deliver, not only information, but also create the capacity in individuals to participate, as protagonists, in the design, execution and control of public policies that affect them. The experience we are presenting, between the Chilean National Library of Congress www.bcn.cl and the Library of the Technical Formation Center of DuocUC in Chile, was born out of an alliance between two libraries of totally different backgrounds, focusing on different groups of users, designed to motivate different communities, using different technological platforms and making information accessible through products, promoting their use in institutional websites. The results obtained are the fruit of a multidisciplinary team of librarians, web designers, teachers, IT engineers and others. We describe mainly the development of the module entitled "Connect to the BCN: Online learning" http://www.eduoc.cl/bcn/. This online module is an open access tool. The contents were given by the National Library of Congress and developed by the e-learning unit of DuocUC. This is a self-learning tool, in which the user learns how to use two important online resources available in the Chilean National Library of Congress. The portal of the National Library of Congress is among the country's most visited, with over five million visits a year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
