Summary/Abstract: This study presents an excerpt from a practical research whose main objective was to concretely illustrate the way in which students use the necessary information and documentation resources in college, both for educational and research activities and for administrative and extra-curricular ones. To carry out this research, students from two departments – the Department of AdministrativeSciences and the Department of Communication Sciences of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Bucharest – were considered for the bachelor’s degree in Managerial and AdministrativeAssistance (MAA) and Information and documentation Sciences (IDS), and for the Master’s degree in Information and Document Management (IDM) and Information Management in ContemporarySociety (IMCG). The data collection tool was a questionnaire applied to all students in the two departments. These results can be used to highlight the impact of traditional resources, digital resources, the Internet, databases, and, in general, all information and documentation resources on users and on learning and research activities in general.
