In this paper we try to explain the relation between e-learning and e-libraries, and how trends in both could mutually benefit, in order to link science with information in a networked society. We start with describing the context in which the new evolutions take place. We then define e-learning, especially networked e-learning, and we investigate the role of e-libraries. Next we consider the major challenges of e-learning and link them with digital libraries. We give examples of mutual interaction, in trying to give possible, although partial answers. Because no definitive solutions are proposed yet, some criticism in the end is in place
