LIBRARIES IN TRANSITION: FROM BOOK COLLECTIONS & UNION CATALOGUES TO OPEN ACCESS & DIGITAL REPOSITORIES

2011 
Union catalogues are a specific type of library catalogue that aggregate and present information from multiple libraries in a single, unified interface. Union catalogues were originally listings of books or serials collected by a set of libraries in a given geographic area or subject area. As the information landscape continues to evolve with more exclusively-digital content being produced, a next generation of union catalogues is being developed to tie together content from disparate digital repositories. This paper will provide an overview of Open Access, digital repositories, and interoperability, and it will suggest a framework for considering the future of union catalogues and libraries in general. Souborne katalogy jsou specifickým typem knihovnich katalogů, ktere shromažďuji a poskytuji informace z vice knihoven prostřednictvim jednoho unifikovaneho rozhrani. Souborne katalogy původně představovaly seznamy knih ci serialů knihoven z dane lokality nebo daneho oboru. S rozvojem a expanzi digitalniho obsahu se objevuji souborne katalogy dalsi generace, ktere shromažďuji obsah z různých digitalnich repozitařů. Tento clanek prezentuje obecný přehled o problematice Open Access, digitalnich repozitařů a interoperability a věnuje se budoucnosti souborných katalogů a knihoven obecně.
