The library services of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest have traditionally been provided in a fragmented structure, and.that had a detrimental effect on their standardised and quality delivery. An audit by the competent professional authority in 2007 and a self-evaluation conducted in 2010 indicated that the library network consisting of more than 50 units will only be capable of providing better services in a renewed organisational structure. The K21 quality development project launched by the librarians of the university in 2008 taught the staff members of library units to work as a team, in panels, and to share their knowledge and experience with one another. This, in turn, injected into the organisation a novel type of innovative energy relying on internal resources. The new forms of co-operation will empower library units to realise projects jointly. The paper describes how the outputs of the quality development project based on the TOM philosophy and applying the measurement and evaluation tools of CAF contributed to the transformation of the organisation.

To meet the requirement of the universal availability of publications, having finished the retrospective conversion of catalogues in various libraries with national responsibilities and in county libraries, the time has come to continue this work in smaller special collections as well. The paper wishes to compare the work processes and results of two recent large projects. Each project applied an automatic solution for retrocon-version, but the approaches were completely different. One of the projects - in the Library of the Hungarian Museum for Military History - processed more than 20,000 catalogue cards, while the other one - at the Library of the Hungarian Dance Academy-covered 16,000 cards. The method of retrocon vers ion was completely different with the two projects. In the first case, each entry in the online catalogue originated in printed catalogue cards. In the other case the records were downloaded from a shared catalogue system after they had been retrieved using certain data elements detected in the scanned text of catalogue cards, and the entries were completed with local data. In the first case the segmentation of data and data groups was carried out after the migration of data strings, based on punctuation, as available from a database using the Huntéka ILS DBMS software. In the other case the scanning and text analysis of cards was done only to obtain some identifying units for the retrieval of bibliographic records. The database of cards having been scanned and segmented based on punctuation needed naturally more operative work in the second part of the project as compared to the database built of downloaded records, especially because of the big amount of non-identifiable authority records. The article gives an overview for both projects of the considerations which have led to using the methods chosen, indicates the problems that occurred during the project, presents the costs of both solutions, and finally, tries to conclude general lessons.

The paper introduces the current system of further education for librarians in Hungary, particularly the results of courses organised during the last 12 years since the enactment of the 1/2000.NKÖM decree; the activities of the Accreditation Committee for LIS Courses; the changing legal background, with particular attention to the 56/2011 .(IX.22.)NEFMI decree. The author outlines the formal and content requirements of the 120-hour further education. The article demonstrates and analyses, based on till now unknown data from unpublished documents, the composition and division of programmes, their dispersion in time, the length courses and topics of lectures. When discussing international trends it points to possible future directions in further education for librarians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HunCRIS has developed a new semantic application which allows calculation of the numeric value of similarity between any two projects. The paper describes the relevant algorithm by figures and explanations, and compares it to Boolean search solutions. In Boolean search the key expressions describing projects are searched among the items included in the search expression and their sub-terms in the thesaurus. The hits are typically ordered by non-search-relevant properties. The ex- tent of similarity is calculated as the correlation between sets of key expressions and their superterms in the thesaurus that describe the selected projects in the knowledge space. The projects can be ranked according to the metrics of similarity, or according to their relevance to a search expression. The service is available on the public site of HunCRIS.

The bibliographical standards of authority data do not discuss the unauthorized (unestablished) name form as a separate entity. The unauthorized name form is treated as the function of the authority (established) form. Consequently, the unauthorized name forms by entering in the MARC authority format appear only in the simple 4XX ‟see from tracing fields„, but in the authority formats traditionally they do not have independent records (the unauthorized name form is not heading). Independent records of unauthorized name forms (the tracings), however, are not missed in the authority formats at all: they have two types: see reference having inverse relationship (traced reference) and see references without inverse relationship (untraced reference). Consequently in the authority formats the tracing and reference is not only independent record, but it has more specific function and meaning, as in the standards of authority data. During the application of thesauri it is unavoidable that in the bibliographical data bases nondescriptors (the subject unauthorized name forms) are specified as a heading of independent records not only as related name form in the 4XX ‟see from tracing fields„. Present paper discusses the reasons of this situation, and illustrates it with some examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

'Recat' or 'recon'? Pursue a labour-intensive, costly, and time-consuming method (recataloguing) or utilise a relatively cheap, largely automatic procedure, admittedly imperfect and fraught with errors, which holds up a glimmer of hope for a complete online catalogue in the near future (retrospective conversion)? This is the dilemma a big library is bound to face when it determines to migrate its traditional paper-based catalogue - or a part thereof - to the net. The article presents the main aspects to be considered in choosing the appropriate method: given the criteria of cost, quality, and time, many libraries prefer to adopt the cheaper and automatic method, even if it is less perfect in terms of quality: retroconversion. A spe- cific case of this is the scanning and OCR of the catalogue cards themselves, XML-conversion of the generated records as well as the creation of a number of indices, which are keys for users' online search sessions. A successful project of large-scale retroconversion is discussed in detail. The ADAM Project - named after ALEPH's module for managing digital objects - was run by the Central University Library of laşi (Romania). About 1.3 million traditional catalogue cards have been digitised and integrated into the OPAC of the library during the six months of the project for a relatively low cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The common framework for the digitization of and online access to European cultural heritage, as well as for the preservation of European cultural materials in digital form was set out by two important EU documents issued in 2006. These documents lay down the principles for the creation of the European Digital Library. Over the past two years, the prototype of the multilingual portal called Europeana was established. It is expected that by 2010, 6 million digital records will be available through Europeana. However, we are only halfway towards ensuring the effective operation of the European Digital Library. EDL can only reach its full potential if a sustainable business model is elaborated for its future development. This paper gives an overview of the achievements in the field of digitization of cultural materials in Hungary and on the European level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper outlines the concept of a nation-wide ICT infrastructure system available for all citizens, allowing symmetric and broadband electronic access and communication. The setting up of the public infrastructure should be driven by the Hungarian state, in order to balance the shortcomings of the information market and ensure that the objective of equal opportunities in accessing and using digital information is fulfilled.

The Hungarian National Shared Catalogue (MOKKA) is a database with three major tasks to fulfil. When it was launched its main mission was to provide a common pool of authentic bibliographic records for libraries to share. Since then, it has also become a valuable online tool for the general public when they try to locate books, audiovisual material, printed music and other online documents in Hungarian libraries. It contains the catalogue records of the Hungarian Electronic Library as well. Thirdly, as a result of a development to be implemented in the near future, MOKKA will become the bibliographic foundation of the National Document Delivery System replacing its present bibliographic database. This article summarizes how the relatively simple functional model of the database is supplemented with a duplicate check and conversion processes of data format, character sets, and often library specific transformations of local conventions to ensure a more or less coherent database. Another aim of the paper is to enhance the co-operation between the databases of MOKKA and its 31 contributing libraries by pinpointing the elements of submitted records that are especially important for the workings of the central mechanism and thus for the quality of the MOKKA database.

The rapid development of the Information Communication Technologies and the Internet, and their ever growing use makes it necessary to satisfy the needs of all users, including those with disabilities, having accessibility problems. Therefore we have developed a new validator software called XValid, which is a human controlled testing tool for specific needs in light of "Design for All", and based on the recommendations of WCAG 2.0. We used the well-known WebXACT, as well as our newly developed XValid validator for testing web pages. The testing was carried out in 15 categories: journals, web shops, government sites, websites related to health, TV channels' sites, educational sites, commercial sites, news sites, time-tables, sites related to leisure activities… Museums, Assistive technologies, Chat sites, sport news, and web pages of banks. We made a comparison between the results of the two testing tools. The paper provides a summary of the most typical shortcomings to be taken into account by the designers of future web- sites.

The REID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology — making it possible to follow and identify objects, people and products — will soon be applied on a massive scale in all kinds of electronic systems. Electronic follow-up and the automation of monotonous manual processes will result in a breakthrough similar to the shift from manual labelling to bar code systems. The European Union has set out the directions for research related to RFID technology, the automated reading of identification data of objects, and to the topic of the "Internet of Thing", representing the next generation of Internet and network applications. The already unified library standards, the introduction of miniature versions of labels, and the fact that REID products are becoming cheaper thus more affordable for libraries means that thinking about the technology shift in library environment is quite realistic. This paper reports on a collaborative development project carried out by three partners: Gedeon Richter, a Hungarian pharmaceutical company, ODIN Budapest Ltd, a company providing RFID infrastructure, and IQSYS Computing Ltd. The innovative solutions applied in the project have resulted in valuable experiences and resources for further development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper summarizes the outcomes of a survey recently carried out at the medical libraries of county hospitals. The survey investigated the changing needs of users in the field of information searching and library use. Due to the heavy work-related pressure and lack of time, health professionals show an increasing tendency of accessing professional literature from home, using electronic resources. However, the majority of users still use both print journals and online resources. One of the problems of using electronic resources is the inefficiency of searching, which is partly due to the insufficient searching skills of the users, but also to the shortcomings of the products and services themselves. User education remains the main task for librarians in order to optimize the use of expensive medical information sources. While the information infrastructure should be ensured and improved by the individual hospitals, the licensing of full-text medical journal databases should be coordinated and financed centrally, possibly by the Ministry of Health itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The past few years have brought radical changes in the Hungarian higher educational system. Similarly to other training programmes, the training in library and information sciences has been subject to significant modification too. Beside structural changes of the training, LIS departments and schools are striving to keep up with the technological requirements of the information age with syllabuses focusing on IT-related subjects. This tendency is justified on the one hand, since library services do have to keep up with the fast development of information technologies. However, we have to keep in mind that in order to train competent LIS professionals, the training programme must be founded on a solid, long term, progressive concept. In addition to developing IT skills, students need to get familiar with all the basic principles of library and information sciences. These principles have been somewhat neglected over the past few years in favour of the use of information technology tools, nevertheless, libraries are not able to provide quality services without them. Unfortunately there are a few areas of librarianship and related work processes that are missing from current LIS curricula or are only included as theoretical subjects. This paper demonstrates the shortcomings of the current training programmes and argues that structural modifications in the training system need to be followed by the improvement of the syllabuses too.

A „Kirakatba Àllítás Szerzői Effektusa" (KÀSZE) a publikáló szerzők azon tevékenysége, amellyel szabad akaratukból megformálják közleményük formális hivatkozásállományát, beállítva azt ilyen módon a tudomãny kirakatába. Tanulmányunk előző közleményében (TMT, 54. evt 2007. 11-12. sz.) bemutattuk a KÀSZE-jelenséget, okait és nyomait a természettudományi szakirodalomban, és meghatároztuk az effektus fogalmát. Ebben a közleményben ismertetjük egy, a KÀSZE-jelenség létezésének és érvényesülésének kérdését eldönteni hivatott döntő prôba eredményeit. A vizsgálat anyaga 15, tudománytörténeti szempontbôl egyidejü nemzetközi fizikatudományi konferencia 1175 közleménye volt. A döntő próba során a bibliometria és a tudományfilológia módszereit alkalmazva részletesen bemutatjuk és elemezzük a KÀSZE-jelenség érvényesülését a tudomãnyos szakirodalom egy ilyen, elvileg-elméletileg Ieghomogénebb tartományában. Az egy-egy tárgykörben megtartott fizikatudományi konferenciák közleményeinek feltãrt, minden szempontbôl szélsőségesen különböző abszolút és specifikus (fajlagos) dokumentáltsága, különösen a formális hivatkozásãllományok szélsőségesen különböző nagysága, kizárólag a publikáló szerzők személyétől függ, így érvényes bizonyítéka az effektus létezésének és hatékony működésének a tudományos szakirodalomban. A döntő prôba az effektus igazolásán túlmenően kimutatta két, kiegészítő KÀSZE-tézis helytállóságát is. Az első kimondja, hogy a formális hivatkozásállomány és a specifikus dokumentáltság csökkenve nővekedik a közlemények terj edelmének növekedésével; a másik azt mondja ki, hogy a közlemények minden terjedelmi kategóriájában léteznek gyengén, közepesen, erősen és nagyon erősen dokumentált közlemények. A három helytálló KÀSZE-tézis összefüggő együttese igazolt doktrínát alkot. The "Author's Effect of Showcasing" (AES) is the activity of publishing authors with which they shape by their own free will the formal reference stock of their communications, placing this stock into the showcase of science. This paper reports the results of a decisive control test of the existence of the AES, processing 1175 historically synchronous physics conference communications. Applying methods of bibliometrics and science philology, the manifestation of the AES phenomenon is demonstrated and analyzed in this theoretically most homogeneous domain of scientific literature.… [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the political and economic changes of the 1990s, the emerging democratic system in Hungary raised a growing interest in local government issues from the part of citizens. People are interested in all decisions concerning their region, their municipality or community, as these decisions have a major effect on their life and opportunities. Local governments have chosen libraries to make accessible for citizens the orders and decrees affecting the life of their communities. On the one hand, this is a great new responsibility showing the importance of libraries in providing information related to local matters. On the other hand, this type of rapidly growing local collection can only be used and researched effectively if it is appropriately catalogued. The paper deals with various issues related to providing local government information, including a few good practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education and libraries have always been closely interconnected, despite all the changes that educational systems and libraries have undergone over the past centuries. In our times, the collaboration has become even more important and the new forms of education, together with the development of ICT tools used in education urges libraries to renew their services in a radical way. In order to meet the newly arising needs of educational institutions, libraries must undertake new tasks which have not been tested in library environment before. One of these tasks is the active support of e- learning management systems. There are many unclear issues concerning the role of libraries in e- learning. Intensive work is being done by experts of ICT and education worldwide in order to elaborate and fine-tune effective models. Hungary has also started to investigate the ways of setting up and operating a national digital collection of text- books and learning resources. One of the ongoing projects carried out in the framework of the Hungarian Strategy for ICT in Education is called the e- Learning Library. The project aims to gradually replace print publishing of textbooks with digitally stored educational contents. Another aim is to set up digital resource centres which primarily serve customers, but also operate as centres of competence in educational innovation and methodology. The paper intends to give a definition of e-learning libraries and clarify their role in the educational system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research guides represent an important element of the web-based content services offered by academic libraries worldwide. They aim to support library users in getting familiar with professional literature and scientific information sources as well as in making successful searches. The author, working at Library of the Faculties of Law and Economics of the University of Pécs set up a research guide in the field of economics, adapting the service model to local conditions and needs. This paper presents the structure and the content of research guides, describes how such a service can be set up and gives an outline for further development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social inequalities appear in various dimensions. Inequality in the access to the means of individual and mass communication constitutes a field that has not yet been fully explored by sociological research. This paper gives a historical overview of communications inequality in Hungary starting from 1847, the year of the establishment of the first telegraph station, till the new communication technologies of the present. Drawing on the results of researchers from Wilson to Keane and van Dijk, the study extends the notion of digital divide into a broader "communication divide", showing how inequalities in access to the different means of communication may distort the elementary pre- conditions of the "public sphere" (Õffentlichkeit). Through secondary analysis of recent empirical research data, the author suggests that in Hungary there is a hard core of communication "have not" (with only 3 terrestrial TV channels and no Internet connection) which constitutes approximately one third of the population. While other strata have acquired more and more technologies and even gadgets, this one third of "have-not" has not diminished over the last few years, observers the author. One of the aims of the study is to suggest a communication policy approach where market mechanisms keep their proper place in introducing and spreading innovations, but social policy measures help to narrow the ever-recurring divide between the "have" and the "have-not".

Digital Rights Management technologies intend to detect, hinder or block unauthorized use of digital works protected by copyright. Not only information professionals must get familiar with these technologies: DRM is becoming an important topic of discussion in the everyday life too. This paper aims to answer various questions that have emerged in connection with the practical use of digital works protected by any of the DRM technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MTA SZTAKI and iKron Ltd. released a new integrated library management system called Huntéka in 2002. The development of the system is based on our development plans and on the valuable feedback of Huntéka users. In this paper, a new Hunt∼ka module is described, the e-Library, available as an independent software called JaDoX too, developed by iKron Ltd. This module helps and simplifies digitisation work from document processing through standardized storage to publishing on the Internet. JaDoX is a platform-independent document handling system based on open standards. JaDoX editor helps to transform unstructured text sources into TEI-based XML documents after recognition and proofing preparation. The results can be easily uploaded to the JaDoX server by one key press or mouse click. The JaDoX server stores the documents in relational database. It serves the documents for browsing, searching and publishing methods, which can be initiated on the web user interface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The impact factor calculation model, established more than fifty years ago and generally used for the evaluation of scientific publications has always divided the scientific world. Many further theories and evaluation models have arisen since then, the majority of which have aimed to improve the Thomson Scientific model by taking into consideration the characteristics of a region, a research field or a language area, thus to create a more favorable index number also dealing with equal opportunity for the appropriate scientific communities. From the variety of alternative models, two are presented in detail in this paper: Index Copernicus and Euro Factor. Both models can be applied to medical and health science publications. Index Copernicus also evaluates Hungarian journals, while Euro Factor mostly applies to the professional journals of the EU15 countries, that is to older member states of the European Union. The creation of Euro Factor is justified by an important figure that shows that the number of publications published in the countries of EU25 exceeds the number of publications in the United States. By applying the strengths of these two similar models, a standard European evaluation model and impact factor could be created. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contradiction between the theoretically unlimited access to information and the efficiency of information searching has been pressing researchers and IT professionals to enhance the collaboration of computers and human workforce in the processes of information and knowledge acquisition. The importance attached to information retrieval methods has expanded beyond the library environment, resulting in the increasing respect of the professional background of traditional information retrieval languages and in the utilization of their theoretical principles even by business organisations. Having set the objective of the quick and comprehensive searching of portal and webpage contents, the professionals engaged in the development of the so-called semantic or intelligent web are working towards the creation of a web-based open and distributed system, that aims to apply standard descriptive languages to the online information sources, and will reach its full potential when the automatic distribution of data becomes possible. New programs and methods are being developed with the collaboration of software engineers, and the milestones of the progress are reported on by VV3C working groups. The coordinated and computer-based development of various traditional and automatic cataloguing languages demonstrates remarkable achievements, however, automatic solutions are only provided by a few softwares. As far as computer-based classification tools are concerned, a group of experts in the theoretical issues of information sciences regard taxonomies and related tools as an easily adoptable classification system (a controlled vocabulary with a low level of hierarchy) that can be generated relatively quickly. Thus this paper primarily concentrates on taxonomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since 1999, the Central European University Library had been looking for a second generation integrated library system that would be more than a common database, that would be able to do more than just computerise manual or paper-based routines, and would enable library users to reach beyond the local information and knowledge base. After thorough searching and an invitation to tender, the Central European University Library purchased the Millennium integrated library system from Innovative Interfaces Inc. and started to use it in 2002. Millennium is a Web- and Java-based automated library system, and working with it is a unique experience in Hungary. The study is about Millennium and its adaptation to the needs of the Central European University Library. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The decree on the detailed rules of the voluntary register of works kept at the Hungarian Patent Office came into force in 2006. The entry into the voluntary registry of works can be requested in the case of works under copyright legislation, including the performances of related rights. Copyright protection comes into force automatically when the work is created. Therefore the author may find it difficult to prove his authorship or the time of creation as well as the original content and form of the work at a later date. The certification of the entry into the voluntary register of works, issued by the HPO, may provide a solution in such situations. This certification is an official certificate which must be acknowledged by all parties until its invalidity is proved. The issuing of the certificate does not imply new copyright or related rights. It only proves that the author entered the work in question - a copy of which or the work itself being attached to the certificate - into the voluntary register as his own work. It also proves that, at the time of issuing the certificate, the work in question existed in the form and with the content as it can be stated in the attachment This certificate can be used in legal cases concerning authorship, copyright protection, copyright infringement and also in other cases, e.g litigation related to the infringement of personal rights. This paper provides detailed information on the process of the entry into the voluntary reigster of works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
