Abstract(s)
Souborné katalogy jsou specifickým typem knihovních katalogů, které shromažďují a poskytují informace z více knihoven prostřednictvím jednoho unifikovaného rozhraní. Souborné katalogy původně představovaly seznamy knih či seriálů knihoven z dané lokality nebo daného oboru. S rozvojem a expanzí digitálního obsahu se objevují souborné katalogy další generace, které shromažďují obsah z různých digitálních repozitářů. Tento článek prezentuje obecný přehled o problematice Open Access, digitálních repozitářů a interoperability a věnuje se budoucnosti souborných katalogů a knihoven obecně.
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.
