International Trends in Academic Library Development

Abstract

Continuous training of employees is the strategy for developing of successful institutions. Within the project “Modernization of academic library services in Moldova”, financed by the Norwegian Cooperation Programme in Higher Education with Eurasia, realized in partnership between 18 university libraries from Republic of Moldova, the University of Bergen, Norway and the Transylvania University of Brasov, Romania, the librarians from the Moldovan universities were trained by organizing workshops, summer schools and strategic planning workshops. These activities have been carried out over 3 years, starting with 2016. In achieving the objectives of the project we had a professional international team that guided the librarians from the Republic of Moldova in the process of modernizing the services and implementing the new information technologies. The editors of this volume wish to share this benefic experience by publishing materials that address all the topics of interest debated on the project platform: new trends in information service, marketing, scientometrics, bibliometrics, open access, digital institutional repositories, information literacy, research data management, pedagogical techniques and others.
