Astro-Biblio-Students
Abstract
Since the advent of online digital journals and e-books, as well as the decrease in the number of new books and scientific journals, many specialized libraries have lost readers in various fields. The Astronomical Libraries located in Cluj-Napoca and Baja Astronomical Observatories also face this problem. In order to attract readers, especially students, the Astronomy Library organizes open days together with researchers and professors, during which the library, the publications, and some current issues of observational and theoretical astronomy are presented. Students interested in astronomy show an increasing interest in the open days of the Astronomical Observatory, as these days usually are related to an interesting astronomical phenomenon. This paper deals with the problem of a "not worked at full throttle" astronomical library and presents the Astro-Biblio-Students program as a possibility to improve this situation.
