The participation of Romanian university libraries in TEMPUS programmes organised and financed by the Commision of the European Union has given an impetus to their development. Gaining new technology and new professional experience led to the development of libraries and the profession of librarianship. The conclusion is that we must become competitive institutions, offer competitive services in order to enter the international circuits for exchange of information. Libraries must serve their users, therefore every activity has to be subordinated to satisfying users neds of documentation. Libraries acnnot develop in isolation; communication on all levels is a value that supports the evolution of the profession, creates an adequate and pleasant atmosphere of work, modifies mentalities and behaviours. The need and the wish for professional training has appeared and goes hand in hand with the development of the institution.
Such programs of cooperation are frameworks for professional and personal relations as well as spiritual enrichment.
