Rewind the tape telling the story of reference services at the National Library of Technology (NTK) in Prague to 2009: a closed stacks specialized library with a long, complicated institutional history re-opens its arms to the public with a new “open stacks spirit” in an innovative building—an architectural jewel. Students (80% of all visitors) and...
Podpora informačního vzdělávání na středních školách
The Czech Virtual Polytechnic Library (VPK) began in 2000 as the “virtual resource sharing alliance” by the leading Czech STM libraries as their response to the rapidly changing landscape of STM publishing and acquisitions, resource sharing, access policies, and technologies. VPK utilizes and enhances the INVIK document delivery management system d...

We are witnessing the revival of discussions about the theoretical core of information science. The reason for this revival is the appearance of Internet technologies and numerous "anomalies" in application of the traditional methods of information processing and transmission of the communication and information processes in cyberspace.
The recent transformation of legal information has led to more drastic consequences in law than in some other fields. As electronic resources become more prevalent and available, courts begin citing to them. The emerging digital-born information and the new network models of communication such as Law Blogs and Wikipedia have already acquired a cert...
Presentation for the IFLA 2008 Law Libraries Section Meeting: Library and Research Services for Parliaments, Government Libraries, Government Information and Other Publications. Quebec City, Thursday, August 14th, 2008
In 2008, it comes as no surprise that new knowledge technologies have had a significant impact upon the field of legal education as well. While many opportunities have been explored and some of them seized, there also remain a number of hurdles to the full utilization of the new possibilities. Cornell Law School, one of the top legal education inst...
Polemika kolem vítězného projektu a lokace pro výstavbu nové budovy Národní knihovny.
The World Wide Web has rapidly evolved from a technological into a social medium. Web 2.0 has become a metaphor for the distributed and decentralized collaboration networks on a global scale. With the recent trends of new media development, the sources available have reached a critical mass resulting in an unprecedented information overload. The ur...

Nové sítě sdílených akademických zdrojů a procesů, idejí a expertiz (které se virtuálně ztvárňují, resp. zviditelňují jako informace jenom na přímý popud sdílených anebo individuálních uživatelských aktivit) odkazují na takové prostředí interakce člověk-počítač, v němž individuální účastníci (studenti, učitelé, výzkumní pracovníci a knihovníci) nej...
Rozhovor vznikl jako podklad pro článek "Knihovny na dně : málokde je naše zaostalost za vyspělými zeměmi patrná tak dobře jako v českých knihovnách", publikovaný v Lidových novinách 15. října 2005 v příloze Orientace.

New digital networking technologies and media have impacted many basic activities of university students and scholars but have also had essential consequences for the radical “datafication” and "networkization" of entire academic and scientific discourse. For this reason the information needs and customs of the patrons of academic research librarie...
Research and academic libraries, as well as academic publishers, belong to the sub-category of the infosphere known as “Institutions of Knowledge.” Libraries, however, have made few contributions to the development and utilization of the Internet, and now face a situation in which Google is replacing libraries as the primary research destination of...

Knihovna Cornellovy university (CUL) patří k samotné špičce akademicko-výzkumných knihoven ve Spojených státech. To, co však knihovnu Cornellovy university zařazuje mezi přední a modelové instituce svého druhu ve světovém měřítku, jsou její výsledky na poli výzkumu a vývoje digitálních knihoven, resp. extenzívního a pokročilého používání soudobých...
The right understanding of the basis of communicational phenomena appearing in cyberspace is of vital importance for information science. The objective is to find adequate means to use the newly arising possibilities of communication. ”However, these can be seen only IF WE CROSS THE TRADITIONAL CATEGORIAL FRAMEWORKS; if we worked with the model of...

The INVIK Concept presents an alternative approach to questions regarding the role and function of the modern library conditioned by interactive decentralised and open communication structures and processes which is marked and influenced by the media properties of cyberspace. This concept was aimed at the establishment of the fundamentals for funct...
Vše nasvědčuje, že žijeme v době změny globálního komunikačního paradigmatu, v situaci, kdy jsou zpochybněny některé základní orientační body světa, jak jsme jej dosud znali-např. tradiční chápání distance a tělesnosti. Zdá se, že je fenomén Internetu teprve jedním z prvních symptomů mnohem podstatnější změny, kterou právě procházíme. Za této nové...

Ozývám se na provokativní článek pana Zdeňka Jonáka k diskusi o problematice, resp. krizi "teoretických základů vědy o informacích či informatice". Velmi si vážím úsilí pana Jonáka upozornit odbornou veřejnost nejen na existenci tohoto u nás téměř opomíjeného problému, ale také na již nepřehlédnutelné důsledky tohoto opomíjení, které v povědomí věd...
The principal questions dealt with in this dissertation concern communicational-informational models and processes in cyberspace. From the point of view of the methodological apparatus of information science, cyberspace can be defined as a ”field of penetration” of client/server network technologies into the present models and processes of social c...

Online transferable skill set map for mentors of early career researchers. Launched in Feb. 2021.
Key questions:
– How should we, members of the global DDRS community, provide a strategic response to a rapidly shifting ecosystem in which publishers, libraries, and users are dealing with new open access mandates, possible “big flips”, new options for document search and delivery (beyond P2P, including direct publisher-to-user delivery), cost impediments, and other challenges?
– Is it possible to leverage our already-existing global infrastructure to keep the library relevant as the ecosystem continues to evolve? How can we contribute to the development of global delivery solutions which are innovative, stable, and resistant to the whims of the marketplace and accessible to all? What might be our roles in the next stages of development of global academic research support (including publishing) infrastructures? In the advancement of trusted public information infrastructures? In relation to regional copyright regimes and in relation to various content format types?
Topical Areas:
– Beyond the Paywall: Coming to terms with, thinking strategically about P2P, open access, e-only content, grey literature, and beyond
– Power Shift: Strategies for staying relevant in the publisher-to-user delivery era
– The Digital Divide: Pressing issues for improving access to resources for all members of our community
– Copyright: Approaches to ILL for various format types not under public domain from the perspective of different legal traditions
– Collaboration: Interacting with current and planned regional storage projects (e.g., ReCAP, British Library, Kooperative Speicherbibliothek Schweiz)
– Assessment: Demonstrating value and impact of resource sharing on scholarship, research, and student success
