Sorin Stati was a prestigious Romanian scientist whose 54-year of scientific activity included 220 papers and 130 lectures. Born in Romania, he studied at the University of Bucharest and worked from the beginning as a member of large research teams within the Romanian Academy. Single and collaborative works written up until 1972 and published in the country were exceptional, decisively changing the movement of Romanian linguistic ideas. After 1972, when he emigrated to Italy, the distinguished professor held a second doctorate and a chair at the University of Bologna. From then until his death, through his works and throughout his activity, he opened new theoretical perspectives both in the study of syntax and pragmatics, dialogue, in the analysis of the 'transfrastic' relationships, lexicology and semantics. His ability to influence these fields lies in the volumes that the international academic community offered at the age of 65, but also in the number of articles and homage volumes dedicated to Sorin Stati after 2008, the year of his death. The publication of his works continued ten years after his death. I personally owe him a large part of my linguistic thinking, being decisively influenced by his wonderful and fertile ideas during the period when I was preparing my PhD thesis. The bibliography of Sorin Stati's works, as seen above, was made up of two incomplete editions, without being unified so far with his other works. That is what we intended in this article. In addition to the previous bibliographies, we record here the understandings, respectively the reviews of his works, but also the homage articles and volumes without which, we think, a bibliography of any scientist remains incomplete.

The present paper focuses on the field of dictionary use, and examines frequency of dictionary consultation as well as dictionary preference among Romanian learners of English. Representative research on dictionary use includes Tomaszczyk (1979) and Wingate (2002) (see also Lew 2004 for an overview of the literature on dictionary consultation habits). While there has been significant research concerning dictionary use, the dictionary consultation habits of Romanian learners have been understudied (with few exceptions, see Vian 2018). Taking its cue from existing studies such as Atkins and Varantola (1998) which have found a correlation between dictionary use and proficiency level, the present paper focuses on a group of 214 Romanian students of EFL who major in English at the University of Bucharest, with two levels of English proficiency, namely B1 (95 students) and C1 (109 students). The paper shows that, as previous metalexicographers have underlined in studies focussing on foreign language learners, there appears to be a tendency among higher-proficiency learners to employ monolingual dictionaries more than bilingual dictionaries. This tendency occurs on the backdrop of a preference of the selected group of Romanian students, regardless of their level of proficiency, for monolingual dictionaries of English. The paper goes on to offer a detailed discussion of the context in which Romanian learners of English consult dictionaries at university level, attempting to identify the major factors which influence their lexicographical choices. The paper argues that the limited range of choice regarding bilingual dictionaries for Romanian learners of English (especially Romanian-English ones) can be seen as influencing the preference of Romanian students for monolingual dictionaries.

This paper (part of the dissertation with the same title, defended at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Letters, Department of Cultural Studies, June 2022) will be dedicated to the pivotal theories of civil violence, in order to question its applicability in the context of contemporary Western societies, focusing on protest as a form of manifestation. Thus, we will use rationalist theories, which point to the rational decision of subjects to take part in collective movements, respectively to the possibility of monitoring their evolution through a mathematical calculation. We will continue with the irrationalist perspective of social contamination, whose development in the 20th century attributes a positive, socially progressive significance to collective movements. Subsequently, the possibility of a political consciousness as the driving force behind social movements will be questioned. In this regard, the views of Hannah Arendt and Charles Tilly are to be considered, which will be challenged through the Marxist perspective on the role of ideology in social movements, whose relevance today will be analysed through the Black Lives Matter movement. The motivation behind the Black Lives Matter protests is explained by the individualistic desire to belong to the community created (of which the subjects are unaware), which is in contrast to the stated aims of the movement, that reclaim a change in the lives of African-American people.

ONLINE education ,JOURNAL writing ,FOREIGN language education - Abstract
During the COVID19 pandemics, teaching/learning/testing have undergone lots of changes made for the transition to online classes. Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) online witnessed a paradigm shift and new approaches that were all facilitated by the use of technology have been developed or improved. Pre-pandemics, Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis proposed “reflexive pedagogy” based on the idea that it is not the technology used that matters but the pedagogy itself which makes the difference, so they proposed reflexive pedagogy as opposed to didactic pedagogy which is composed of 7 affordances ranging from ubiquitous learning to differentiated learning with the purpose of moving focus from mimetic learning to epistemic learning via reflection and use of technology. Having this new approach in mind, the present paper attempts to analyse the advantages and disadvantages when teaching English for Specific Purposes. While the advantages are numerous due the possibility to use technology anytime, anywhere, anyhow, there are still certain constraints regarding learning foreign languages which utilize the mimetic approach in certain circumstance. Thus, the study focuses on the activities developed with the students from the University of Bucharest enrolled in the Faculty of Chemistry, approaching a wide range of subjects with a review of reflexive pedagogy in terms of advantages and disadvantages for ESP. While reflexive pedagogy is extensively useful for listening, speaking, reading and learning specialized vocabulary, writing seems to be affected as a way of progressing in learning. As an overall observation, reflexive pedagogy proves quite useful for teaching foreign languages with certain drawbacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From 1938, after the retirement of Professor Simion Mândrescu, who had laid the foundations of German philology at the University of Bucharest, the Department of German Language and Literature had a difficult path. Challenging and often precarious historical conditions created unclear legislation, making it difficult to hire competent Germanists eager to integrate into higher education. The present paper traces the decade-long, continuous efforts to attract competent teaching staff to meet the teaching and research needs of German philology. Archival documents reveal known or less known names of Bucharest Germanists. It is interesting to note that over the years, there have been attempts - often unsuccessful - to bring in Germanists from other university institutions in Bucharest, Between 1942 and 1944, we also find university staff from Germany at the Department of German Language and Literature in Bucharest. Although the political situation was not favourable during the decade under review, German philology in Bucharest managed to maintain an adequate level of performance, oscillating between adapting to political requirements and ensuring the best possible training of students.

SOCIAL responsibility of business ,QUESTIONNAIRES ,WORK environment ,QUALITATIVE research - Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an exploratory study on the perception of students from the Faculty of Administration and Business, University of Bucharest, regarding corporate social responsibility in academia. Profit or focus on a single minded goal is insufficient and any organization has to account for the needs of multiple stakeholders to whom it is beholden. The requirements placed on a university are even more stringent, as it has to balance the needs of its students, the academic freedom afforded to faculty or the requirements of an ever changing business environment. For this purpose, we have conducted a study on student's perception of the way that the university conducts itself with regard to its stakeholders. This was done through the means of an exploratory questionnaire, applied on a sample of students from the Faculty of Administration and Business, University of Bucharest. We obtained 394 valid responses, from all years of study and specialization. Initial results show that the faculty ranks is perceived fairly well with regard to marketing, communication and community outreach; the same cannot be said concerning some of its policies, which are barely noticed. We have also found that only a very small number of students are or have ever been involved in a volunteer position themselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MOBILE learning ,EDUCATIONAL technology ,HIGHER education ,ECONOMICS students - Abstract
The emergence of mobile technology provides people alternatives not only in interpersonal communication and Internet access, but also in learning and teaching. The fast growth of new generation of mobile devices as well as the frequent use of wireless technology has capitalized the great potential of mobile learning in becoming an effective tool for education. Mobile learning technologies offer teachers and students a more flexible approach to learning. Mobile devices have greater functionality, giving teachers the opportunity to provide contextualized and personalized learning resources, unrestricted by spatial and temporal constraints and allowing learners to use readilyavailable, handheld computing devices and communication technology to access information from anywhere and at anytime. In this context, the purpose of this paper is twofold. The first goal is to analyze various theoretical approaches of the m-learning and, secondly, this paper aims to present the findings of a research among undergraduate and graduated students from The Bucharest University of Economic Studies. The objectives of the survey were to explore the ways students are already using mobile technologies to support their learning and to identify students' readiness and also willingness towards the use of mobile devices in learning situations. Our research shows that students are ready to adopt mobile learning due to their higher ownership of mobile devices and greater familiarity with the use of technology in learning contexts. Considering the research findings, our paper will also present different ways to incorporate mobile technologies into educational processes to foster collaboration and social interaction and for enhancing their potential for both formal and informal learning.

This paper discusses the content of the cadre file of Henri H. Stahl preserved in the Archives of the University of Bucharest’s Rectorate. In the form in which it has been preserved after 1989, the personnel file of H.H. Stahl seems, from several points of view, atypical. If we compare it with the cadre files of the 1950s, it surprises by the apparent “goodwill” of the communist cadres towards H.H. Stahl. This ideological solicitude is manifested in the interpretation given to main cultural and political events in H.H. Stahl’s life. In other circumstances such political past could be labeled as unusable in a communist context. Equally curious and noteworthy is the issue of the ethnic origin attributed (and not necessarily real or assumed by the one described in the file), more precisely the issue of Stahl’s nationality ( Jewish) which was recorded in the file. Analyzing Stahl cadre file we can wonder if the integrity of this dossier has not been compromised by removing, extracting or modifying documents by the personel staff services or by someone else.

Our paper presents the contradictory views journalism graduates from the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences, University of Bucharest and their future employers from local and national Romanian media organizations have on profession, knowledge and skills. The study shows that at the end of their three-year formal training the students do not fully understand and internalize the journalistic professional values. They reiterate an academically induced picture of the profession, which has not been revised for years. However, the contextual analysis of the research results indicates that professionally committed students, that benefited from internships and trainings in media organizations, came up with more relevant answers, integrating more easily their knowledge of curriculum with their practical experience, as opposed to their peers without work experience, that are undecided about their professional path. Academic education does seem to help professionally committed students to adapt more easily to the fast-changing work environment and makes them look competent. Moreover, our findings highlight a lack of dialogue between the journalism schools and the media organizations, showing a steep gap between the students' expectations and the requirements managers and editors have from a potential job applicant.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Bucharest in Romania has focused on the detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus in swine. PRRS is a highly damaging disease that affects the swine industry globally due to reproductive failure. The study evaluated the sensitivity and accuracy of the Real-Time RT-PCR method in detecting the PRRS virus and estimating the pathogen load in samples with clinical signs. The researchers found that the Real-Time RT-PCR method is increasingly being adopted by swine producers and veterinarian laboratories as a reliable technique for detecting and monitoring the spread of the PRRS virus.

A study conducted by the University of Bucharest examined the role of Zymomonas mobilis levan, a polysaccharide produced by Gram-negative bacteria, in the activation of tissue metalloproteinases (MMPs) during the healing of wounded and burned tissues. The researchers found that levan, when applied individually or in combination with halotherapy, showed potential in managing wounds and burns. However, the exact mechanism by which levan participates in the healing process is still unknown. This research provides insights into the potential use of levan in developing new therapies for tissue remodeling and wound healing. [Extracted from the article]

The transition towards a knowledge-based society triggers the need and pressure to learn continuously, yet the time available for learning is getting shorter and the knowledge gaps are widening. Knowledge management-enabling tools play a useful role in learning organizations, especially in an era when information overload is plaguing most organizations with an Intranet, enterprise resource planning, or business intelligence system. Mobile and wireless technologies and associated infrastructures improve significantly the access to knowledge at any time from any place through diverse and capable hand-held devices. The rapid development of mobile knowledge supports robust contributions to the development of knowledge communities. Building adaptive learning resources reconfigurable based on the device attributes and users' preferences represent a key research issue of mobile learning within organizations. The contribution of this paper consists in describing the similarities, differences and challenges recorded during the development process of a mobile knowledge management system that provides secure access to learning content for users situated in various mobile settings. In this respect, we shall present the implementation settings of the MOBNET-Learning Project developed by "Carol I" National Defence University in Bucharest in partnership with Advanced Technology Systems, the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of the Romanian Academy and two other private companies. The research domain of the project is advanced information systems for education and it has been financed through the "Partnership" national funding scheme. The MOBNET project aims to identify new opportunities to extend the lifelong learning arena of the educational and training systems through advanced information and communication technologies. This project addresses specific learning needs in terms of content, availability, and flexibility, with a stress on security due to the fact that it is implemented within the "Carol I" National Defence University. The authors propose a framework for an integrated mobile learning system that provides access to various mobile users, within formal or vocational educational systems, to knowledge databases in support of the Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere (AAA) paradigm. This mobile knowledge management system aims to capture and integrate the learner's feedback and to create the framework for an optimised virtual learning environment. The paper also takes into consideration the challenges and the limitations implied by the mobile world in terms of hand-held devices and mobile user interface design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of increasing the amount of information and documentation structures, we notice a change in students' orientation to information obtained from on-line sources. In the education and documentation activity of the students are used various information as format: printed (books, courses, journals), digital, audio, multimedia. The recommendations for the individual study refer to thematic bibliographies, scientific reference works in the field, doctoral theses, official reports, etc., but also to electronic information sources: cd/dvd, video recordings, electronic books, databases, motors search, platforms and portals. A study conducted in University of Bucharest, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, reveals an increase in the past years of the preference and use by students of electronic documentary sources, to the detriment of the printed ones. Frequently, this focus on online sources can cause a number of impediments that students encounter in identifying relevant information for a domain. There is a real difficulty in dealing with the avalanche of information and studies on a chosen topic and poor education in the use of on-line scientific documentation structures. The negative effects of this trend could be, among other things, the loss of relevant information for the field, the tendency to form a distorted image of a subject, to use information from unverified sources, and the increase in plagiarism, and rather the orientation towards conclusions already drawn to the detriment of training of critical scientific thinking. This shift in interest in the use of electronic resources determines the need for increased accountability in online publishing and a better adaptation of teaching and learning methods and resources in university education. The paper aims to investigate students' current trends in online documentation and information in order to improve the quality of education in documentation and information, to facilitate access to relevant information in the scientific field, and to improve the teaching-learning process.

The scientific collaboration between the French and Romanian geographers has had a long and rich history of over 120 years. Over time, it has gone through more or less favorable periods, depending on the political and historical context. This paper focuses on the post-1989 era, and highlights the academic relationships between the Faculty of Geography of the University of Bucharest and universities / research centers in France, with special regard to the fields of climatology, hydrology and geomorphology. Particular attention is paid to the memory of professor Gérard Beltrando, one of the French geographers (climatologist) strongly attached to Romania and to Romanians, and who, for more than 15 years, nurtured fruitful collaborations with geographers from the University of Bucharest.

The paper includes prompt γ -ray results provided by two deterministic modelings of prompt emission developed at the University of Bucharest. The very good description of experimental prompt γ -ray data as a function of A and TKE by the multi-parametric matrices as primary results of both modelings assures a supplementary validation of the models themselves. The very good agreement of the single distributions of different prompt γ -ray quantities (as a function of A and as a function of TKE) with the experimental data constitutes a supplementary validation of the models together with the fragment distributions used. Linear correlations between different prompt γ -ray quantities and the prompt neutron multiplicity are emphasized, too. A new method to calculate the prompt γ -ray spectrum consisting of a global treatment based on the distribution of prompt γ -ray energy per quanta is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we aim at gaining insight into the largest Romanian University’s online communication strategy during the 2019 admission campaign - University of Bucharest. Although there is a growing body of literature on online marketing campaigns in Western democracies, little research exists on using Social Media in an emergent economy like Romania. In order to take a closer look at the University’s online communication strategy, we conducted a content analysis on the posts published on the University’s Facebook page over the 4 weeks leading up to and during admission period. This study is the first of its kind and it indicates that the University is constantly trying to use dialogue and call to action messages in order to generate user engagement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports on the current status of teacher training in economic and business education in Romania, based on the experience gained at the Teacher Training Department of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Relevant information is provided in respect with the content, methods, and materials used in teacher training programs in economic and business universities, both in pre-and in-service teacher training programs. By providing all this information we want to demonstrate that effective economics teacher training programs implies face-to-face courses and class activities, and also on-line interaction. The paper is structured in two parts. The first one is focused on the role of universities in supporting economics and business teacher training programs. All large universities and schools of economics in Romania have special pre and in service teacher training programs. Pre-service teacher training programs go together with bachelor and master programs in economics or business and consist in courses such as: pedagogy, psychology of education, adult education, class and school management, teaching methodology and strategies, or teaching methods and strategies in economics and economic subjects. The second part of the paper presents information regarding an in-service teacher training program specially designed, developed and delivered to high school teachers of economics and economic subjects by a Consortium of four prestigious universities in Romania: Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Al. I. Cuza University of Iasi and West University of Timisoara. Special attention is paid to the e-learning activities and teachers work on the economic education platform created to support and improve the training process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EDUCATIONAL technology ,WEB 2.0 ,HIGHER education ,PROBLEM solving - Abstract
The present paper explores some of the reasons why technology integration is a must of 21st-century education, and looks at the practical benefits of using technology in conjunction with new approaches to teaching and learning based on the connectivist theories of cognition and instruction that best support the present-day student-oriented educational paradigm. It looks at the necessity (confirmed by our first-hand experience with students of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies) to keep the education process in sync with the spirit of our times, or the way the highly digitized world outside the classroom has come to approach communication, knowledge/ information acquisition, meaningmaking, problem-solving, and even socializing and entertainment. It outlines the evolution of computerassisted instruction from its early stages marked by more static learning tools and (Web 1.0) technologies that place students in the less intellectually stimulating situation of receptacles or consumers of Internet knowledge, to the more recent, more evolved and dynamic Web 2.0 technologies and learning environments that lead to the emergence of new models in education, facilitate student interaction, collaboration and creativity, and enable mind-stretching and enjoyable learning experiences. After examining various psychological and behavioural changes in both teachers and learners as a result of incorporating technology in the education process, the paper focuses on the importance of technology use in tertiary education, where the increased complexity of the learning content calls for more sophisticated and diversified instruments of teaching and learning that may develop students' intellectual autonomy, creativity and adaptiveness, along with their critical thinking, continuous learning and professional skills, preparing them for a more and more competitive and challenging work environment.

ENGLISH language education ,MOBILE learning ,EDUCATIONAL technology ,TEACHING methods - Abstract
The highly technologized present society allows students to easily access information and develop skills much easier than in the traditional education system. Besides using technology for teaching and evaluating purposes, it can also be converted in a means of self-assessment to evaluate students' personal progress. Thus, knowledge terminology appropriation can also be technology mediated with the purpose to review the already studied terminology in view of the final examination facilitated by accelerated learning strategies consisting of condensed exercises designed to review specific terminology in the fields of humanities and sciences. For the beginning, the software would be available for the students from the University of Bucharest whose study is oriented towards specialised English terminology. With this purpose in mind, the present paper proposes a system architecture designed with a simple interface to facilitate students' access to information. The platform interface should be simple and easy to use. Also, a mobile version would be desirable to design so that it become accessible from any device. The exercises proposed follow each unit studied during the semester with a strong focus on terminology and vary in range and form, all in reference to the unit studied at the seminar. When applying these learning strategies, the challenges are represented by the limited period of time necessary to complete each task - the newness of the platform is that the exercises are timed so that they simulate real-life exam situations, thus making the eLearning process more effective and efficient. The software will also indicate a progress bar and the mistaken answers will come with explanations. An important aspect worth mentioning is the fact that these exercises do not focus on building competition among students, therefore no forum or chat rooms will be designed. As a result, students develop learning skills, become more confident in their language appropriation and acquisition due to the real-life simulations and practice IT skills. The limited period of time for answers stimulates students to appropriate learning strategies by accelerating the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The more and more accelerated scientific and technological progress in advanced economies requires an increased complexity of the uncertainty and non-repetitiveness characteristics of the university activities. This calls more and more for the diversification, perfection and refinement of the evaluation methods for the efficiency and effectiveness of the university activity, in the short, medium and long run under the new conditions of globalization and assertion of knowledge-based society. This paper compares methods of evaluation used across many countries in Europe. On the basis of this comparison and focusing in particular on Bucharest University of Economic Studies (BUES), we examine the advantages and disadvantages of performance-based funding in comparison with other approaches to funding. This thesis adds value to the field of university evaluation in a holistic vision including the method of evaluating and the types of problems of research evaluation practiced in every country. The research starts with exegeses of the theoretical approach concerning evaluation concepts in the context of strategic management and continues with the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods in terms of research university evaluation in Romania and other EU member countries.

FOSS4G stands for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. It is the flagship event of OSGeo. Each FOSS4G has its special aura, kindly designed by each Local Organising Committe, sharing the local culture and spirit with the greater community. In 2019, geo-spatial.org, the OSGeo Local Chapter of Romania, won the honour of organising the geospatial event of the year. FOSS4G 2019 was held in Bucharest (Romania), in three of the most important buildings of this city: National Theatre of Bucharest, InterContinental Hotel and Faculty of Geography from the University of Bucharest.Following the established tradition of FOSS4G conferences, at the 2019 edition, an Academic Track ran in parallel with the General Track. The main purpose of this track was to bring together researchers, teachers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research activities in geospatial domains, with an emphasis on the open source solutions. All types of topics such as results achieved, case studies, work in progress, academic endeavours to conceptualize, assess or teach open source geospatial software and data, were welcomed. The Academic Committee discouraged prevalent presentations of technologies or use cases without properly justifying originality to the scientific state of the art, emphasizing on particular novelty.At this edition, 53 papers were submitted to the Academic Track. These were blind reviewed by 3 reviewers. Finally 38 scientific papers were selected for publication in this volume of the ISPRS Archives. The editors would like to thank all the authors, the members from the Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee for their valuable contributions. We hope you enjoy reading the proceedings.

Time is one of the most valuable resources. A given period of time can be occupied with interesting or boring activities that generates different perceptions on it and affects individuals differently. As consequence, individuals have developed different time management skills. While some individuals demonstrate time management skills in a 'natural' manner, other have to develop these categories of skills. This paper is verifying the established correlations between time management skills and academic achievements, on one side, and life satisfaction, on the other side, in order to see and measure their relevance for young people by analysing time management skills demonstrated by students from Bucharest University of Economic Studies enrolled in bachelor programs. We are presenting the research we have conducted on 150 students from schools of economics, business and public administration, our findings and recommendations for effective development of time management skills to students.

The article reconstructs the mechanisms through which the work of the French scholar of Romanian origin, Mattei Dogan was brought to light in Romania after 1990 thanks to the eff orts of the community of sociologists. Romanian sociologists used three methods to assimilate the author who is considered the founder of comparative political analysis and who left Romania immediately after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in sociology under Henri H. Stahl supervision: they translated Dogan’s articles and books, they made him a member of prestigious institutions and they included him in the post-communist eff ort to reclaim the legacy of the school founded by Dimitrie Gusti. To capture the institutional and editorial strategies that were used, I conducted interviews with several protagonists of the Romanian sociology renaissance movement. I also used epistolary resources, sociology and political science journals, press articles, as well as documents from the archives of the University of Bucharest and from the Mattei Dogan Foundation. The article shows the success of some methods and the failure of others. It also brings to light a text that was ignored in the studies and bibliographies that discuss the work of the scholar who was born in Roman in 1920 and who went by the name of Matei Pinsler until 1945 (Preda, 2020). This research paper is relevant for various reasons. Firstly, it complements not only the biography of Dogan, but also that of Henri H. Stahl. Furthermore, it highlights the trajectory of a discipline in a period of dissociation with the communist past while restoring the connections with the interwar period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BUSINESS English ,CRYPTOCURRENCIES - Abstract
The purpose of the present article is drawing attention upon our economic students' preference for the use of online resources for business English oral presentations and finding the answers which explain such choices. Moreover, students' selection of their presentation topics themselves has an online motivation based on the wide availability of online resources on various business/economic issues. The applied part of our research consists in a questionnaire addressed to our first year economic students within the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Actually, this questionnaire comes to justify our assumption that the main reason for the choice comes from the multiple advantages of online sources among which availability occupies a top position. If we were to mention a shortcoming of such sources that would be the question of their reliability. Therefore, teachers' role is decisive here, as they are the ones that can guide their students throughout their research for business English oral presentations. We have questioned a number of 160 students and the conclusion is that all of them have used mainly online bibliographical sources and state that they have not even thought about using library paper books. Their answers reveal certain facts. In the selection process of the online sources things like being as recent as possible, offering rich information count a lot. Another interesting fact is that making the presentation plan comes before finding the right online sources, which may seem risky, but fortunately for every topic (no matter how unique or restrictive like "crypto currency") that they chose, they found appropriate and sufficient online sources.
