Biblioteca copiilor şi a tinerimei from the period of the Great Union is a historiographical research on the promotion of this weekly magazine in the press of the time, which can give us an understanding, from a cultural perspective, of some aspects of the past, starting from a series of documents. The paper also presents a documentary study by approaching from a librarianship perspective of the advertising for the "biblioteca copiilor şi a tinerimei" magazine, as a bibliographic unit, in the newspapers gazeta bucureştilor (1918) and adevărul (1919, 1920, 1921), two of the most popular newspapers among the population. In the reference year 1918, crucial in the accomplishment of the Great Union, adevărul was suspended by the German occupation command and in compensation was chosen the daily gazeta bucureştilor, opposed as ideology and political support. The object (the newspaper) and the subject of the research (the magazine) are bibliographic units that are preserved in archives and libraries, consisting in cultural goods with an important role in the national history and not only. The study of advertising for biblioteca copiilor şi a tinerimei magazine, in the press from the Great Union period, comes to confirm or invalidate the role that the magazine has in popularization of culture among the masses.

The article is the summary of a PhD thesis aiming at contributing to the deepening knowledge of the research in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) in Romania, by making a radiography ofspecialized papers of all types published in the last 20 years (1994--2013) and by analyzing the content of the articles from three periodical scientific publications both from the point of view of the research theme and from the point of view of the research methods used. The Corpus -- LIS papers (monographs, periodicals, conference papers, projects) was selected by means of a bibliographic research carried out in the database of the National Library of Romania and by documenting other offline and online sources (thematic bibliographies, websites of libraries, professional associations, etc.), and the methods used were: bibliometrics - for analysis of monographs and periodicals, content analysis -- for analysis of articles from the three selected periodicals and synthesis -- for analysis of scientific and professional manifestations of projects and programs. The paper is an original work because it carries out the first attempt to make a radiography of the professional, scientific and research activity in library science in the past 20 years and also performs a content analysis of the articles contained in three periodical scientific publications in the field from the point of view of the topic approached and of the research methods used, the results obtained from the analysis being compared with those from other countries, presented in an IFLA Report published in 2003.

The papers and communications of this year were meant to maintain extremely collegial dialogue with participants who focussed on librarianship topics in separate professional divisions: acquisition and collection development, communication and interlibrary loan, computerization, rare books/manuscripts/digitisation, statistics and evaluation, cataloguing-indexing, information literacy, library legislation and professional training, library pedagogical techniques, periodicals, references, preservation/conservation/restauration, documentarists. The participants also discussed about the school libraries and librarians, training, status of school librarians in the context of the new education law, namely transforming and restructuring their school libraries and documentation centers. One of the core elements of the conference stressed on the importance for each individual to gain skills in information literacy. Becoming engaged in using a wide variety of information sources in order to expand onseself knowledge, each individual has to ask informed questions, sharpen his/her critical thinking for still further self-directed learning. The conclusions from this year's conference underline the growing role of the professional organizations in setting up clear targets for the development of library services and products in an ever-changing knowledge society, and to adapt these infodocumentary structures to the more demanding information needs [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
