IFLA standardi, UNIMARC i COBISS sistem: značaj normativnih podataka

Author(s): Branka Badovinac,Gordana Mazić / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 27/2022

Bibliographic control is one of the few internationally highly standardized activities. The generally accepted IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) has influenced the modification of numerous other standards in the field of bibliographic control. In this context, also on UNIMARC and ISBD. Moreover, at the IFLA WLIC 2022 Congress, the working group for the revision of international cataloguing principles announced that it was analyzing the introduction of the term “work with entities”. In the COBISS system, developments in the field of bibliographic control and standards related to it are closely monitored. The transition to the new millennium shed a new light on the organization of bibliographic information, placing in the focus of interest authority data as the basic building block of a new approach to managing the sources of the bibliographic universe. Therefore, first of all, the state of authority data in the COBISS.net network should be analyzed, which can serve as a starting point for development and cooperation between the member countries of the COBISS.net network also on this field.

IDŽAZETNAME U ZBIRCI OSMANSKIH DOKUMENATA GAZI HUSREV-BEGOVE BIBLIOTEKE U SARAJEVU

Author(s): Hamza Kurtanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 43/2022

This paper presents twenty iğāzat-namas kept in the Collection of the Ottoman Documents at Gazi Husrev-beg’s Library. With the exception of one iğāzat-nama, all the others are copies of manuscripts. The examined iğāzat-namas were written by different authors and published for different disciplines. Some of them are extremely valuable because of their illuminations or some other element that makes them unique. In addition to its constituent elements, the iğāzat-nama is a resource from which data can be collected for the study of the schooling system and education. Since some iğāzat-namas date from the 20th century, it is possible to analyse and monitor changes in educational regulations by means of certified copies of iğāzat-namas. The aforementioned certified copies, which appeared at the beginning of the previous century, are a reflection of the need to harmonize the traditional forms of diplomas with the needs of the new times. In that sense, this paper interprets certifying as an integral part of the iğāzat-nama. The very fact that the publisher of the iğāzat-nama does not depart from its traditional form speaks in favour of the idea that the iğāzat-nama can be viewed as a separate literary genre. This faithfulness to the traditional form of iğāzat-namas, which was followed by its publishers, we can notice through the forms of iğāzat-namas with the blank space left for a student’s name, as is the case in some iğāzat-namas in this paper. Therefore, an authentic copy of this form is oftentimes enriched with highly stylized, rhyming and rhythmic text. Due to its specificity, it is often a challenge for iğāzat-nama translators to convey all the values of the style and content in a translation into Bosnian. We decided to base the processing, in accordance with the state of the iğāzat-nama and the available data, on a broad description of the external and internal appearance, as well as on the collected data on the content of the iğāzat-nama. Thus, we provided the most basic information such as: the name of the teacher, the name of the student, the type of the iğāzat-nama, the language, the library classification number, the number of sheets, the place of publication, the date of publication and dimensions.

Realizacja polityki otwartego dostępu na przykładzie Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie

Author(s): Leszek Szafrański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 26/2022

The underlying goal of the present study is to investigate the experience gained by the Jagiellonian Library staff in the implementation process of the new open knowledge policy at the Jagiellonian University. The discussed tasks and decisions pertaining to the process focus on both the historical aspects of the implementation of the policy and the relevant activities that are either being carried out now or became effective following the introduction of relevant legal acts and a series of legal instruments pertaining to the comprehensive realisation of the project. Applicable methods of literature analysis and review were used to collect data, just as a case study, which altogether allowed the concerns of open access to knowledge to be properly distinguished and discussed in detail from the perspective of its implementation at the Jagiellonian University. Our experience thus far indicates that the main issues in the implementation of open knowledge at the University include insubstantial awareness among staff, as well as insufficient funding. The main advantages of open knowledge, however, include: limitless access to literature and a better promulgation of research results, scholarly output and publications.

Dabartinés raSomosios lietuviy kalbos dazninis Zodynas ir jo baze

Author(s): Laima Grumadienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 46/2002

There are few electronic databases for Lithuanian. The largest are the Frequency Dictionary of Modern Written Lithuanian, compiled by V. Zilinskiené and L. Grumadiené, and the Lithuanian Language Corpus of Kaunas University. The former is presented in detail here: the principles of its compilation and its possible uses are discussed, and the hitherto published work in statistical linguistics based on it is briefly characterised. The main problems in connection with the databases for modern Lithuanian are: (1) their insufficient differentiation (they reflect only the written, not the spoken language), (2) their not being optimally used, as the Lithuanian scholarly community lacks the Preparation needed for working with such tools, and (3) the fact that the efforts of scholars compiling them receive too little public recognition and are not valued as original scholarly achievements.

LEİPZİG KÜTÜPHANESİNDE KAYITLI MÜELLİFİ BİLİNMEYEN BİR SAATNAME ÖRNEĞİ

Author(s): Mehmet Emin Bars / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 25/2023

There are sciences in Turkish-Islamic culture that deal with various practices for learning the unknown and the future. One of these sciences is science of the stars. Although science of the stars is sometimes associated with fortune-telling and seen as an unrealistic science, it deeply affected the society. Beliefs that the stars have an effect on the works people do have led to the emergence of the genre called “saatname” based on this science. Such works were respected by both the public and the rulers. The impact of the seven stars on the works of the seven times of the day is the subject of the saatnames. There are many manuscripts in different libraries about the genre of saatname. However, most of such works have not been studied yet. There are few studies in the scientific field about the genre of saatname. In this study, a manuscript prose example of an unknown author in the Fleischer Catalogue of the Leipzig Library in Germany was examined. The text, which was arranged in the form of a small tractate, was written to inform the provisions of the hours, to indicate which works were good to be done at which hour and which ones were bad. In the text, the positive and negative effects of the seven stars in seven times of seven days are explained. The influence of the stars on the days and times continues in a regular circular cycle. It has been observed that the effect of stars on auspicious deeds is more. Another notable feature is that there is no mention of any sinister work when certain stars are in effect. It is important in terms of Turkish cultural history to evaluate many examples of saatnames, which are generally a short genre.

Zagadnienie inwentarzy w muzeach i inwentaryzacji kolekcji w świetle dorobku normatywnego UNESCO

Author(s): Alicja Jagielska-Burduk,Joanna Markiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

Museum inventories and inventorying of collections in light of the UNESCO legal framework Summary: This article presents the problem of inventories in museums and inventories of collections in light of the UNESCO normative legal framework in cultural conventions and soft law (UNESCO recommendations). The authors aim to present issues related to the implementation of the UNESCO 1970 Convention, UNESCO’s recommendations for museums, and the importance of the inventory of cultural property in the fight against illicit trafficking of movable objects. Given new challenges, including recent armed conflicts, the inventorying of cultural property is particularly important in this context. It also constitutes an essential element in the protection system at the national and international levels. UNESCO’s planned projects to provide further support for inventories, such as a practical guide on inventories and illicit trafficking of cultural property, are highly relevant and welcomed.

Споделена каталогизация и ролята на библиотечно-информационните мрежи

Author(s): Bilyana Yavrukova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

Shared cataloguing is widely used practice in libraries. This paper examines the emergence of library and information networks whose main task is to support the sharing of bibliographic and authority data between libraries. The main technological tools used in shared cataloguing are discussed. The largest library and information network OCLC is presented, as well as ABES, NUKAT, Libnet, and COBISS.Net. The attempt to develop a Bulgarian library and information network, based on the COBISS software is mentioned.

Międzynarodowe czasopisma z zakresu Library & Information Science w polskim wykazie czasopism naukowych

Author(s): Władysław Marek Kolasa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

Thesis/aim: The author of this article aimed to diagnose the reasons why the most important international magazines in the field of Library & Information Science (LIS) took relatively low positions on the Polish ministerial list (2019), and to present their list obtained according to the author's original method. Research methods: To select journals, bibliometric methods such as citation analysis, index analysis, and correlation testing were used. Results: The first part of the article presents the genesis of the ministerial list, before examining the technique of its creation and the mapping between LIS and citation indexes. The author found that journals belonging to many disciplines influenced the creation of the list. In the second part, the article’s author presents a new method of creating such a list, a method based on the assumption that affiliation to a discipline is determined by a journal’s usage in that discipline. The research material consisted of 77 journals selected from Web of Science and Scopus. As a result of the calculations, the collection was divided into three groups: a) basic journals for LIS (26 titles); (b) journals from associated disciplines formally belonging to the LIS (26); (c) multidisciplinary journals formally belonging to the LIS (25). Conclusions: The research revealed that only 33.8% of the journals assigned to LIS are actually cited by scientists who publish in LIS periodicals. The remaining titles are either usable by researchers from other disciplines (33.8%) or are multidisciplinary (32.4%). Among the 26 most important LIS journals, three (3) types of periodicals were distinguished: general journals (9 titles), periodicals devoted to scientific information (9), and profiled journals (8). The comparative analysis of the metrics shows that journals belonging to the core of the discipline (basic for LIS) achieve lower bibliometric indicators than other periodicals formally assigned to the LIS. The author concludes that the thematic lists of journals published by citation indexes are incoherent and should not be directly used for the evaluation of scientific disciplines.

Развитие на каталозите на Университетската библиотека „Св. Климент Охридски“

Author(s): Bilyana Yavrukova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Sofia University Library “St. Kliment Ohridski” is the biggest scientific library in Bulgaria. The establishment of the catalogues is significant for the library work. The cataloguing rules employed in building the catalogues are important for their quality. The Sofia University Library has gone a long way from its first catalogues with short bibliographic descriptions to the next period of cataloguing with international and national standardization. A complex catalogue system was established. Today it is the first and the only large Bulgarian library to finish the process of retrospective conversion of its traditional catalogues. It offers its patrons unified bibliographic information for its collections.

Wartościowanie dokumentacji - pomiędzy potrzebami administracji a oczekiwaniami nauki

Author(s): Katarzyna Jaskółka-Leśniak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 9/2022

Evaluating documentation is crucial for the process of creating sources for scientific studies. The paper discusses the clash between the needs of administration and the expectations of researchers regarding the assessment of documents’ archival value conducted by state archives. It demonstrates two approaches towards evaluating documentation resulting from its usefulness for scientific or practical applications, as well as difficulties concerning the selection of archival materials. It also proposes a role for archive supervisors in the evaluation process, which should balance the needs of science and those of administration.

Analitička obrada sastavnih delova serijskih i monografskih publikacija u Narodnoj biblioteci Srbije

Author(s): Bojana Veselinović,Ivana Jašović / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 28/2023

Creating bibliographies (from the 17th century to modern times) is a way of describing books and other types of publications and classifying them according to certain standards, with the aim of providing sufficient information about a certain work. Since the end of the Second World War, with the increase in the number of publications on the territory of the newly formed state, there was a need to create a unique database of bibliographies of publications, in order to provide users with insight into the entire publishing activity of Yugoslavia. This work continued even after the independence of the Republic of Serbia, in the National Library of Serbia (NLS). In addition to creating bibliographies of monographic and serial publications, the NLS also creates bibliographies of articles and content from professional journals. The Department of Serial Publications, more precisely the Subject Analysis Subdepartment, is in charge of this work as a separate organizational unit. Within this department, in addition to the creation of bibliographies, bibliographies of articles from proceedings, CIP of articles (professional classification of articles from serial publications of articles), revision of the library collection, and translation of UDC (Universal Decimal Classification) tables are carried out.

Электронный каталог графики Ф. М. Достоевского: знак, буква, текст

Author(s): Tatyana Viktorovna Panyukova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2023

Based on the digital archive of F. M. Dostoevsky, containing images and research transcripts of the texts of his notebooks (http://dostoevsky-archive.ru/), work was underway to create a commented corpus of the writer’s graphics in 2020–2023. This article discusses issues that have arisen in the course of practical work on filling the catalog of graphic samples, indicates possible ways to solve them, identifies ways to use the created online database. One of the main practical applications of the developed platform was the ability to use special tools to recognize hard-to-read Dostoevsky records. The choice of the description unit became important: instead of the minimum spelling unit — grapheme, the grammatical category of word forms was used. The emphasis on the word as the main unit of description created conditions for the gradual selection of material for an online dictionary of the writer’s manuscripts, if necessary, coordinating the requirements for graphics (as a description of the external features of the text, sketches) and grammar (as a structure-forming principle). The search for ways to solve the issues that arose resulted in the description of individual word forms: semantic homographs that are different parts of speech, suppletive forms of a word, proper names (including anthroponyms, toponyms, common names, as well as appellatives that are equivalents of proper names — this creates prerequisites for creating a dictionary of names inside the online dictionary of manuscripts). Structurally complex lexical units are also described as a single word form: polynomial synonyms, names, complex conjunctions and prepositions, introductory and phraseological combinations. A separate promising group for the study consisted of Dostoevsky’s author’s signs, hybrid in form: these include both words (“February”) and author’s signs (as symbols or proof-reading signs). When describing Dostoevsky’s calligraphic works, on the one hand, it became obvious that it was necessary to differentiate the variants of the writer’s calligraphic inscriptions, systematize the available knowledge about the peculiarities of his calligraphic handwriting and determine the criteria for selecting and describing the material. On the other hand, it turned out to be possible to use the samples already available in the database as the basis for the attribution of autographs and stationery copies in Dostoevsky’s handwritten legacy. Thus, the created electronic database of Dostoevsky’s graphics turned out to be the optimal platform for solving multidirectional tasks — codicology, textual studies, the study of the author’s language and style, attribution, scientific commentary, onomastics — and, thanks to the software potential embedded in it, has fairly extensive development prospects.

KULTURNA BAŠTINA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE II: RUKOPISI ELČI IBRAHIM-PAŠINE MEDRESE U TRAVNIKU

Author(s): Madžida Mašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 72/2023

This paper presents the manuscript collection of the Elči Ibrahim Pasha’s madrasa in Travnik. This collection contains 105 manuscript codices written in Arabic, Turkish and Persian. In the 1940s, the manuscript collection of this madrasa was transferred to the Gazi Husrev Bey library in Sarajevo, as part of a project that included the storage of manuscripts from all madrasas in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a suitable place. Nevertheless, even after that year, manuscripts continue to arrive in this library, so today it contains a solid manuscript collection. Although it was digitized in 2012 in the manuscript digitization project of the Bosnian manuscript collections by the Yunus Emre Institute, the catalogue of this manuscript collection has never been presented.
