Starting from the recognition of the need of an academic-level librarianship and information science education, the aim is to draw a parallel between the educational process in the West and Romania.
The evolution of this field determines the development of new professional skills. These are reference points in organising the analytical programs and planning the lines of instruction within the modern librarianship school.
Rebuilding the official framework of Romanian librarianship education raises considerable difficulties. While Western librarianship schools offer various fundamental and optional courses, the curricula of Romanian schools is yet restrained and not sufficiently nuanced.
Specialisation on a postgraduate level would be extremely important as it would ensure the training of specialists who could teach at librarianship colleges.
Interactive teaching methods extensively used in Western universities should be introduced in Romanian librarianship education too, all the more so as the development of creativity and a real teacher-student communication are still missing.
