Contributions to the Development of the Digital Library of the
“Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu
As part of the global strategy, Europe 2020 for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, the European Commission adopted the Digital Agenda for Europe [1], a strategy to make the most of the potential offered by the rapid development of digital technologies. In this respect, the LBUS Library is contributing with two digitization projects and is monitoring their development. Participating in the Europeana Libraries project, together with other 25 of the most important professional organizations and research libraries in Europe, has been a valuable professional experience by closely knowing the way of organizing the heterogeneous team of 19 countries, by implementing and following the project, with the aim of achieving the goals, by enriching with over 5 million digital valuable objects, by undertaking the new metadata standard, by establishing a new type of project management, by disseminating the project. The experience gained we are sharing here, in order to stimulate the resources digitization process in the Romanian libraries, which is still at its beginnings.
