Cursuri pentru bibliotecari

Courses for librarians

Starting in 2024, we have resumed the series of courses for librarians, with improved and diversified topics and a structure adapted for both in-person and online participation.

The in-person courses will last 2-3 days and will be held in representative libraries in various cities (Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu, Iași, Bucharest, Constanța, Craiova, etc.).

The online courses are structured into 2-hour modules, scheduled over several days, to allow participants to attend without causing major disruption to their work schedules.

The courses can be delivered in the following formats:

  • Open system (participants from multiple institutions, pre-established topics)

  • Semi-open system (participants from multiple institutions with a similar profile - e.g., central university libraries, medical libraries, agricultural and veterinary medicine libraries, military libraries - profile-specific topics)

  • In-house system (participants from a single institution, topics adapted to the institution's specific needs)

Main Thematic Categories Proposed:

  • Advanced Use of the Features of the Liberty Library Automation System

  • Scanning, OCR, and Digitization of Printed Materials

  • Modern Technologies and Software Programs Used in Libraries

  • Marketing and Promotion for Libraries

  • Organizational Skills for Librarians
