Summary/Abstract: The paper starts from the analysis of the specific status of avant-garde journals,similar in character to small journals, to highlight the most important problems /difficulties of studying avant-garde periodicals. It points at the views of El Lissitzky expressed in the 1923 manifesto “Topography of the typography”, formulating the need to overcome the printed surface and postulating the term “electro-library”. It then describes and analyzes the assumptions and features of the most important Internet libraries of avant-garde magazines, including examples from Serbian and regional domains. El Lissitzky's ideas are linked to remediation theory, to point out the need for the “second digital remediation” which would transform the physical characteristics, appearance and content of avant-garde magazines into true digital objects.
