Summary/Abstract: The paper presents one review what education implies and whether the frame of education as it is, contribute to an individual or the system. How much are we the hostages of the ruling economic-political system in which education is subject to a model of entrepreneurship where profit is the only goal? The system immensely loves the word ‘quantity’, and through this aspect of ‘quantity’, work observes the role of higher education information expert today. The paper presents and indicates the immense importance of subject analysis of the document processing as one of the leading examples if we contribute to the quality or quantity. Document content processing directly affects the higher education library information services and points to the success of library-information system. Of course, that evaluation of library-information center implies many segments, but what does the number of users, number of volumes in the fund and the number of the information provided mean? In today’s era of ICT, which brought out many sources of information, we can say: bearers of knowledge are there to be used and not to be stored. Paper indicates how document content analysis affects the use of library collection and not their storing and solely quantitative presentation.
