Contribuția Bibliotecii „Ștefan cel Mare” din Suceava la afirmarea diversității culturale în Bucovina

Abstract

The library of the “Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava is a library of public law, without legal personality, subordinated to the Rectorate and the Senate of the university, being financed from the university’s budget. The main users are students and teachers, but there is also a growing number of beneficiaries in the community. Within the library there are many cultural activities with openness to the general public of Suceava: the Alma Mater Librorum International Book Fair, the symposium dedicated to the “Librarianʼs Day”, the homage meetings under the generic “The Man and the Book”, the “Mihai Eminescu” Days, the University Days, the reading campaign “I Read, therefore I Live”, “Școala altfel”, “Open Doors Days” etc. The main services offered by our Library are: development, record keeping and organization of collections, interlibrary exchange, cataloguing and indexing of collections, documentary information, designing bibliographic references, keeping and preserving collections, circulation of collection publications, public relations, and librarian loan. The dynamics of the activities of the University Library in Suceava imposed the appearance of the first issue of the libraryʼs magazine: “The contribution of the library to the affirmation of cultural diversity in the Romanian space”. Institutional partnerships are being updated and multiplying significantly from one stage of library development to another and international openness is manifested by the signing of new protocols, participation in programs such as Erasmus or “Eugène Ionesco”, and involvement in bilateral conventions of the university. The entire activity that the university library staff carries out at the highest level of professionalism and vocation is directly reflected in the quality of the activities specific to a library, to which are added the important contribution to the promotion of cultural values in local, regional, and European communities.
