A study regarding the relevance of special libraries and the quality of access to information in Romania was conducted. The general objective was to develop a contribution regarding the quality management in libraries using the grounded theory method. The model obtained for optimizing the quality of access to information implies the existence of material resources, but also innovations, the involvement of human resources through creativity and promotion, leading to increased academic visibility, increased satisfaction of long-term active users, attraction of new users both in the physical space and in the digital environment and, finally, increased relevance of the library in question within the tutelary research institute. The value of the study lies in the series of solutions for optimizing the access to scientific information in research libraries in the digital age, and the correlations between the results obtained based on the grounded theory and the three generic models of library quality management, LibQual+, Balanced Scorecard, and ISO 9001, by adapting them to the context of the special research libraries in Romania.

For being successful in a globalized knowledge-based economy, contemporary libraries must redesign their management systems and become knowledge driven organizations. Some libraries have already turned into learning and knowledge centres, others invest now in implementing solutions for managing better their knowledge resources, but these initiatives should consider how librarians create, acquire, share and use knowledge effectively. In this context, the paper presents the elements of a model designed for implementing knowledge management in Romanian libraries and based on a research conducted recently in these institutions. The approach for developing such a model had as a starting point the understanding that application of knowledge management principles can contribute to the development and transformation of libraries into knowledge-based and long-term successful organizations.

The impact of the absorption of European funds in Romania, in the context of financial stability, is a complex subject, approached with the aim of balancing the associated benefits and risks. Absorption of funds contributes to economic growth, infrastructure development and job creation, supporting the private sector and innovation. However, administrative difficulties and the need to comply with EU rules pose risks. Transparent and efficient management is essential to prevent corruption. Overall, absorption of EU funds can strengthen national budgets and reduce regional disparities. It is crucial that Romania adapts to European requirements and manages funds responsibly to maximize the positive impact on the country's financial stability. The overall objective is to analyze the impact of these funds on economic growth, infrastructure, and the reduction of regional disparities. The aim of the research is to assess how the absorption of European funds influences financial stability in the context of compliance with EU standards and to propose directions for efficient and transparent management.
