The
Romanian-American University Library, cultural-scientific structure, is part of the training-educational process of research and improvement, of discovering the national and universal cultural and scientific values.
Set up in 1991, the library has a total of publications of more than 60.000 volumes.

The completion of the library collections is done through periodical book acquisition according to the bibliographic recommendations in the study plans, to the specific subjects of study and the type of faculty. Furthermore reference materials are acquired to support the studying and research activities (dictionaries, encyclopedia, law codes, atlases, guides, etc.).

These writings, together with those received from the International Management Foundation, as well as the Harvard Business Review, and The Economist magazines, represent an informational and documenting basis of actuality in the economic field.

E-Ligrary (virtual library) - which comprises a new and well equipped IT lab providing access to the most important international scientific data bases - is part of the
