The paper aims to draw attention to the right of access to information, emphasizing the need for accessibility, adaptation of services and products offered by public institutions and strengthening the process of social integration of people with disabilities. To this end, we will investigate the level of accessibility of Romanian county libraries for people with disabilities, following three perspectives: accessibility of county libraries in terms of products, services and spaces; accessibility of library sites; visibility of information of interest, specific to the needs of people with disabilities. The conclusions of the paper will provide a picture of the current state of accessibility at the level of the largest public libraries in our country, being a landmark for optimizing the activity of county libraries (and not only).

This study presents an excerpt from a practical research whose main objective was to concretely illustrate the way in which students use the necessary information and documentation resources in college, both for educational and research activities, and for administrative and extra-curricular ones. To carry out this research, students from two departments – the Department of Administrative Sciences and the Department of Communication Sciences of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Bucharest – were considered for the bachelor’s degree in Managerial and Administrative Assistance (MAA) and Information and documentation Sciences (IDS), and for the Master’s degree in Information and Document Management (IDM) and Information Management in Contemporary Society (IMCG). The data collection tool was a questionnaire applied to all students in the two departments. These results can be used to highlight the impact of traditional resources, digital resources, the Internet, databases and, in general, all information and documentation resources on users and on learning and research activities in general.
