Elena Tîrziman - The National Library of Romania. Goals and Perspectives in Valorising the The National Library of Romania (NLR) ensures the creation,
processing, preservation, management and valorisation of the national
documentary patrimony. With its highly valuable collection, the NLR is
part of the European cultural heritage, a real cultural wealth for
future generations, and therefore it will endorse the role of
coordinator of the digitization process at the level of the national
system of libraries.
The National Library of Romania is involved in international projects aiming at the creation of digital content relevant for the European Culture: The European Library – TEL and ENRICH – European Networking Resources and Information concerning Cultural Heritage, projects coordinated by the National Library of the Czech Republic.

The core of the Hebrew University library activity is the information literacy but it doesn't exist a homogenous policy or training programs. Keywords: Information literacy, higher education, libraries

digital age has brought major changes at the level of the reference
services offered by libraries. The emergence of competition,
represented by numerous organizations that also provide information
services, has necessitated the reorganization of reference services so
that they function according to the market laws. In this context
marketing has become an essential tool for libraries. They must develop
strategies to make sure that users will continue to ask for their
services. The number of those attracted to online information services
is growing and many traditional users of libraries may be encountered
at present in virtual environments where the possibilities for
communication and interaction, for sharing information and generating
knowledge are clearly better. Many libraries have already taken the
step towards the virtual world and offer now assistance and information
services in environments such as Second Life where there are possible
both games and educational activities. Keywords:

Second Life Ionel Enache - Methods for
the Evaluation of Working in the Library Assessing
performance is one of the main functions of the management process. The
managers of libraries have adopted late the managerial tools and
techniques (particularly the assessment tool) used on a large scale in
other professions. Although there are no standard procedures for
evaluating work in the library they have a variety of such methods.
Unfortunately these methods are not known and therefore are not used.
This article describes some of the most commonly used methods of
assessing work, in general, but that can also be adopted by libraries. Keywords:
library management, job evaluation, assessment
methods Agnes Erich, Niculina Vârgolici - Promoting E-learning in the Academic Environment The
educational world changes rapidly. We can notice that the use of the
Internet and of the Information and Communication Technology has become
an important part of the learning and teaching strategies of many
universities. Some are going to become global, virtual institutions;
others are using the Internet, combining traditional methods of
delivery with online teaching. Keywords:
e-learning; digital library; information
resources; educational platform
Cristina Popescu - Bibliography – An Imperative of the Informational Society At
present the most important factor of the human society, the
universal, omnipresent instrument is the information. This is
fact. The XXth century civilization based itself more than any previous
ones on information, education, culture, science, that is on knowledge.
And the fastest access to information is achieved by bibliography.

Adina Berciu-Drăghicescu - Romanians in Mount Athos between Religion and Dictate After a brief introduction on administrative and religious
organization of Mount Athos and the foundation of the Romanian
hermitages Prodromu and Lacu, the paper demonstrates, based on archive
documents, the presence of the Romanian element here since the 9th
century. The emphasis falls on the life of Romanian monks in Athos
since the second half of the 19th century till present. Their difficult
situation, always placed between the religious life initiated and
supported by the Romanian Patriarchate and the Romanian government and
the Greek position represented by the antiRomanian actions of Great
Lavra that control and manage from 1924 to the present day the two
Romanian hermitages is highlighted.
Statements in this paper are based on documents that are in the funds of the National Archives and the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
