Title: Hypernuclei and their production by electromagnetic 
	and hadronic probes

Abstract:
Hypernuclei represent the first kind of flavored nuclei (with new quantum 
numbers) in the direction of other exotic nuclear systems. In this talk we 
shall present a review of the hypernuclear production by electromagnetic and
hadronic probes. Recent efforts of describing these reactions within a fully
covariant framework will be discussed. This method is based on an effective 
Lagrangian picture and it focuses on production amplitudes that are described
via creation, propagation and decay into relevant channel of $N^*$(1650), 
$N^*$(1710) and $N^*$(1720) intermediate baryonic resonance states in the 
initial collision of the projectile with one of the target nucleons. Specific 
examples will be discussed for reactions which are of interest to current and 
future experiments on the hypernuclear production also at the JLab.
