The "Lucian Blaga" Central University Library is the greatest university library in Romania. It consists of a central library with 15 services and 23 branches.
An enthusiastic group of librariand founded the Laboratory of informatics in 1992. They tried to convince the management and the library staff of the efficiency of computerised activity. Their aim was to implement an integrated library system that could be adapted to the conditions of the library, its traditional, branching system of organisation. The options concerning the direct adaptability of programmes as well as the software modification of the "inherited" system of organisation were limited. The Library Budget and the support offered by Tempus Programmes and the Soros Foundation for an Open Society were the main financial sources.
The Central University Library was connected to the Internet in 1996, through the Technical University of Cluj. This is very important since we are the only library in the country that has access to the Custom Dialog databases.
