Könyvtárak a Rubiconnál - A tudományos szakirodalmi információellátás új könyvtári paradigmái
Libraries at the Rubicon. New library paradigms of scientific information supply

Summary/Abstract: The paper intends to give an introduction to the paradigm shift that has taken place – compared to ones of greater size and depth in other professions – in the field of scientific information supply in the Hungarian and international library community in the last ten years or so. Technical and technological changes have completely changed the environment of library work. The existence of a network, the possibilities provided by digital culture and organizational changes in Hungary have rewritten the profession’s system of paradigms. In a completely changed world and amongst new conditions and facing new challenges, libraries are having to meet user expectations where the traditional tool-kit now has to be operated alongside an entirely new, basically “virtual” one. New terms have appeared and became essential in our life – like EISZ, the online special literature supply, the e-journal, e-book, MTMT and the repository. Naturally, all these have an effect on the special literature supply of Hungarian education and research in its entirety, they have affected basic information searching habits had by researchers and have influenced age-old traditions within the culture of dissemination of scientific results.
