Author(s): Milada Svobodová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 48/2018

Count von Manderscheid-Blankenheim’s library at Blankenheim Castle was closed after Napoleon’s army invaded the Rhineland in 1794. The last owners of the castle, Augusta and Filip Kristian von Sternberg-Manderscheid, took some of the books to Prague, where they became part of the Sternberg Library, which itself was incorporated into Prince Lobkowicz’s Prague library, with which it was transferred in 1928 to the Czech National Library collection. This study provides information on the discovery of the uniquely preserved catalogue of the Blankenheim Castle library, compiled sometime between 1780 and 1794. It has been used to successfully identify a total of 29 manuscripts in the National Library collection. The study concludes with an edition of the Blankenheim manuscript catalogue and brief descriptions of the discovered codices.

Uređenja obaveznog primjerka elektronske građe

Author(s): Lejla Hajdarpašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 24/2019

The extension of legal deposit, its adaptation to the digital universe, was recognized as a constructive solution for the collection and preservation, as well as the provision of access to dematerialized objects of national bibliographic control. In this regard, by referring to the results of relevant and current international surveys about e-legal deposit arrangements, this paper assumes that the success and stability of national bibliographic control in a changing environment, and in countries that have a tradition of legal deposit legislation and are about to begin with the collection and preservation of the dematerialized national bibliographic control objects, lies in redefinition of existing national legal deposit legislation. The paper emphasizes the advantages of such an approach and concludes that planning and organization of national bibliographic control, that is followed by raising awareness about the importance of the legal deposit, and respecting the specific tradition of national bibliographic control, but primarily information needs of users, should be accompanied with the redefinition of the national copyright laws, and other related laws, which frequently paralyze the core values of the legal deposit in terms of providing access to the legal deposit collections.

Crisis Situations and Information Science. Selected Issues in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Zuza Wiorogórska / Language(s): English Issue: 2A (116A)/2020

Purpose/Thesis: This paper attempts to organize and systematize scholarly literature on the issues relating to the current global health crisis published by information science scholars and professionals, as well as on the information science-related initiatives undertaken to provide access to reliable and valid information in crisis situations. Approach/Methods: A critical review of selected literature, as well as observation and a descriptive analysis of websites and Web platforms were conducted to establish the thematic corpus. Results and conclusions: Even though the topic is recent, several subfields of information science have already been the subject of studies conducted in different parts of the world. It may imply that information science scholars and professionals react quickly to change and they are aware of the fact that their discipline may play an important role during crisis situations. This role may involve facilitating better management in future crises if they do happen. Research limitations: Since the topic is new and the situation is dynamic, new research results, or online projects are being issued almost on a daily basis. Hence, it can be assumed that shortly after its publication, this paper will not present the current state of the art anymore. Originality/Value: First scholarly publications on the issues relating to the current global health crisis appeared in early Spring 2020. According to the author’s knowledge, no summary has been published that would systematize and classify the publications and other initiatives from the information science field.

The Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Academic Libraries in a Crisis Situation. Experiences of the University of Warsaw Library

Author(s): Anna Kamińska,Anna Książczak-Gronowska,Zuza Wiorogórska / Language(s): English Issue: 2A (116A)/2020

Purpose/Thesis: This study investigates how the crisis situation caused by the spread of COVID-19 influenced the work of library information and IT systems, with the University of Warsaw Library (BUW) as a case study. Approach/Methods: The case study method was applied as it seemed to be the most appropriate for the purpose of this research. Five main areas of investigation were defined and then analyzed.Results and conclusions: The use of the library’s ICTs changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which mostly involved intensified use of such technologies. The study demonstrated the success of the shift to online service provision which will most likely continue even after the library reopens. The study also showed that a well-organized academic library which may easily move its services online in the case of a lockdown, is indispensable to support teaching and research. Practical implications: This study can serve other academic libraries in Poland and abroad seeking to compare the solutions they introduced with BUW’s most successful practices, so that they will be better prepared in case of the expected second wave of coronavirus which may bring more lockdowns. Originality/Value: This study adds to the existing literature on the phenomenon of COVID-19 and libraries-related issues. However, unlike the majority of studies, it focuses more on information systems, electronic resources, and services hubs rather than on the library perceived as a public space and store of printed publications.

Approach/Methods: The presented research employs qualitative approach, and methods/techniques: scoping literature review, conceptual analysis and thematic analysis. The data sample comprised selected, representative publications from 2001–2020. Results and Conclusion: Research on information behavior in various crisis situations is an important research area of information science. However, it remains understudied; the field should be expanded to account for multifaceted issues of individual and collective informational behavior in contemporary crisis situations and disasters. Originality/Value: The article is the first theoretical and conceptual analysis of information behavior in crisis situations. The article discusses various types of crises and information activities undertaken in crisis situations to develop a theoretical and practical foundation for future research on information behavior.

Zachować żywą pamięć. Biblioteka Ośrodka Dokumentacji i Studium Pontyfikatu Jana Pawła II w Rzymie

Author(s): Andrzej Dobrzyński,Stanisława Podstawa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 51(2)/2020

The article describes the history and activities of the Library of the Center for Documentation and Research of the Pontificate of John Paul II. The institution dates back to 1981 when the John Paul II Foundation was established in the Vatican. The library collects publications related to the person of the Holy Father and his pontificate, papal writings as well as the literature on the thoughts and activities of John Paul II. The book collection is multilingual; it partly consists of publications related to various fields of knowledge (including the history of Poland and Polish emigration), donated to the Pope as gifts or provided directly to the Centre. The activity of the Centre is maintained owing to financial support from the Polish community. The books are catalogued in two programs: the ProCite as the inner one and the Virtua interlibrary system; the bibliographic records are searchable in the NUKAT union database, so information on the book collection is accessible for a vast number of researchers. The work done was possible thanks to the collaboration with related institutions, especially with the Library of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow (this cooperation allows to continue publication of the John Paul II. Polish Bibliography series). The rich library of the Center of the Pontificate of John Paul II complements its archival and museum collections – this makes it a significant site for research, not only to the students in Rome but also to all interested in the life and work of Polish Pope.
