Biblioteca Institutului de Medicină și Farmacie din Cluj la sfârșit de comunism și început de democrație
The Library of the Institute of Medicine and Pharmacy of Cluj at the End of Communism and the Beginning of Democracy

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes some aspects regarding the Library of the Medico-Pharmaceutic Institute of Cluj in the Ceaușescu era, but also the process of modernization of the Library in the post-communist period. The policy of purchasing publications was different depending on the era. Even though the library was one with a medical profile, during the communist era publications were also acquired to serve communist propaganda and ideological education. Publications from other fields were also purchased, but they were in small numbers compared to scientific publications from the medical field. In the post-communist era, the acquisition of publications was strictly focused on the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The article also discusses the lack of a dedicated building, the Library having to operate, until 2008, in several buildings, some of which were unsuitable for carrying out library activities.
