The Professional School of Forestry de la Pădurea Verde (Green Forest) was established in 1885. The educational complex includes the museum and the hunting grounds, the offices, library, arboretum, home and cafeteria. Currently, the book fund holds 21,164 bibliographic units and is the only one in the western region of Romania that includes about 6,000 b.u. in the field of forestry. The year 1969 marks the establishment of the Forestry High School in Timişoara and, with the advent of the high school, the book fund diversifies, responding to the new documentation requirements. Currently, the library has an encyclopaedic character and, in perspective, will adopt the Oxford Classification for forestry publications. Library users have access to references, bibliographies on demand, thematic bibliographies, advice on identifying the most complex information in a timely manner, using traditional and electronic resources, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
