Tentative de diversificare şi modernizare a serviciilor oferite de colecţiile speciale ale bibliotecii
Attempts of Diversification and Modernization of the Library Services Offered by the Special Collections

Summary/Abstract: It is well-known that after 1989, libraries have changed their politics concerning the access to special collections - ancient books, manuscripts, maps, images etc. - that became easier to search and study. This could be possible first, because of the attempts of promoting the ancient values, and second, because of the changes that took place in the educational and scientific fields (the growing number of researchers, historians, writers, students etc., whose interest in research and scientific writing has lately increased). According to this bases, there are some directions that might be identified: a) finding of supplementary means of enriching the collections and communicate them to the readers, because it is well known that the quality of information offered to the public depends on the librarian’ s knowledge about the collection he is working with. We must also consider up to date electronic possibilities, that enable us to create digital library (data bases containing digitized documents, images etc.); b) making the most of local patrimony, that requests, first of all, the creation of a data base, containing all the information we may collect about our county: books, articles, maps, images, correspondence, official papers etc.; c) the involving of the readers, that must be determined to come to library and like it; and that requests the laying out of a special place for talking and making the best of our time.
