O resursă digitală pentru sociologia românească: Biblioteca Virtuală de Sociologie.

The capacity of storing existing materials and the ever rising editorial production is one of the contemporary challenges of academic and educational institutions. Also, the ability to disseminate structured content information using interoperability standards facilitates the discovery of resources. This fact is very important given the context of extreme abundance of information, specific to digital societies. In this article, we will present an initiative of the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy, which aims at digitalizing the relevant Romanian sociological publications. The context, the web platform architecture and the main indicators of the use of the available resources, as well as the development plans, will be discussed. Thus, through ensuring the free access to books and studies, the Virtual Library of Sociology contributes to the consolidation of the Romanian sociological community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
