Information Resource Center Services

Research/Quick Reference Assistance
Qualified reference specialists will assist with inquiries and research by telephone, mail, fax, e-mail or in person, using the latest electronic resources such as Internet and Lexis-Nexis.

Referral Service
When the Center is unable to provide the required information from its own resources, it is usually able to identify appropriate sources within Romania or United States, such as national, state and local government agencies, research institutions, and professional associations.

Briefings
The staff can give general or subject-oriented briefings on the resources and services of the Center to inividuals or groups upon request. The "Open House" program offers to potential users of the IRC Power Point presentations of the resources and services of the Center. At the same time, profiles of these "invitati", highlighting their activities and special needs, are created, in order to send them, when appropriate, materials on the new developments in their field of interest.
