Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at presenting a project which has been initiated by “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, and carried out through the University Library during the months of April – November 2016, being co-financed by the Local Council and City Hall through “The Cultural Agenda 2016”. Entitled Traditional means of transportation – from the preservation of the heritage to its promotion: digitization between necessity and challenge, the project aims to evaluate the cultural heritage regarding the means of transportation used in Sibiu. The final results of the project consist of a Digital Library, traveling exhibitions showing digital photos and other outcomes of the project as well as a three lingual booklet (Romanian, German and English) which deals about the history, evolution and diversity of the traditional means of transportation also uploaded in the Digital Library. Being a project carried out through the University Library, its final goal is to encourage e-learning and to guide and help students, MA and PhD candidates as well as other categories of readers in their work, thanks to the digital literacy.
