This work aims to present some procedures that characterize a pro-active posture in Brazilian university libraries. For this purpose, aspects of the concept of pro-active libraries are presented in a context where growth in the number of needy students entering private higher education demands ever more use and application of information technology (IT) for their learning processes. This work is developed in the context of the Library System of the Centro Universitário da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro – UNIVER CIDADE. The adoption of pro-active procedures in the UNIVER CIDADE Library System allowed a better reaching of the users’ information problems, thus offering support for efficient information management. Consequently, the use of the system’s services and the participation in the instituted programs grew as proportionately as the pro-active actions adopted by the Library System were implemented.
