Everybody
In 2008 we started to scan the documents from „G.T.Kirileanu” documentary collection, as a necessity to protect and preserve the most vulnerable ones. Later we followed the idea of digitalizing the documents related to Neamt County and subsequently some other categories. Co-financed by Neamt County Council, there was acquired in 2022 a scanner Zeutschel OS 12002 C Advanced - a high performance scanner for books, newspapers and large format documents. It has a scan area of 635x460 mm (> DIN A2), a maximum resolution of 600ppi and scan speed 4sec/400ppi. Up to now there are already more than 18.500 pdf documents available, containing more than 512.000 of scanned and edited pages.
Creating this Digital Library lead to an increased remote access of the library, virtual visits (via Internet) in January-June 2022 amounted about 516.911, 480.638 for on-line catalogue (OPAC) and 36.273 for the website.
