Am Anfang stand der Wunsch nach mehr Platz. Dieser musste mit dem jüngsten Leipziger Erweiterungsbau geschaffen werden, um den wachsenden Medienbestand der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek – inzwischen rund 26 Millionen Objekte – fachgerecht zu lagern und für die Nutzung bereitzuhalten.

Thesis (M.A. (Information Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / Digitisation of library materials offers Library and Information Services (LIS) organisations, national libraries in particular, opportunities to preserve and manage fragile and unique materials, by protecting their physical, saving them from deteriorating and facilitating unmediated access to such collection. The aim of the study was to examine processes involved in the digitisation of the South African National Documentary and Cultural Heritage for the purpose of preservation and access at the national library of South Africa (NLSA). The study was guided by the systems theory by looking into the selection, processing and disseminating of digital records at the NLSA. The study examined adherence to the policies and national legislative frameworks, the technologies used for digitization and access to digitized collections, tools used for accessing digital collections, as well the challenges experienced in the NLSA digitization project. Qualitative research methodology was adopted, through a case-study research whereby, semi-structured interviews, document analysis and observations were triangulated as data collection methods for the study. The key findings showed that the digitisation project at the NLSA adheres to pieces of national legislation and international guidelines such as International Standards Organization (ISO), the and draft digitisation policy developed by the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture which takes into consideration the national legislative framework such as the RSA Constitution, the NLSA Act, the Legal Deposit Act, Copyright legislation, and the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA). However, the content analysis of these legislation did not mention anything about the handling and management of digital collections. Technologies and equipment used in the digitisation process included high quality scanners, servers and hard drives with software such as Optical Character Recognition, Content document management software and the NLSA website. The challenges uncovered in the study in relation included duplication of digitisation efforts and lack of expertise in digitisation. This study recommends that given the evolution of technology, the NLSA should migrate to a more convenient cloud storage that has a large advantage in case of unlimited storage, and keep up to date with the trends of digitisation technology. Legislation governing the LIS in South Africa also needs amendment to cater for the handling and management of digital collections. v

A iniciativa propicia a preservação dos acervos e o acesso facilitado à coleção, via “Web”, a qualquer hora e de qualquer lugar. A informação, objeto de estudo da Ciência da Informação e matéria-prima do Jornalismo, fica mais acessível à medida que mais e mais publicações periódicas são digitalizadas por diferentes Bibliotecas Nacionais. Neste estudo, buscou-se analisar as características de hemerotecas digitais criadas por Bibliotecas Nacionais, apresentando assim o estado da arte do desenvolvimento dessas coleções. A partir das questões de pós-graduandos da área de História da Saúde foram realizadas buscas na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira da Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, que permitiram avaliar a hemeroteca como fonte de informação científica. A oferta on-line de coleções de jornais e revistas pelas Bibliotecas Nacionais facilitou e solidificou o uso de notícias como matéria-prima em investigações científicas, seja como elemento-base da pesquisa, como um complemento ou para gerar insights. A partir do exame de treze hemerotecas digitais, observou-se ainda que cada uma adota critérios próprios de seleção do material a ser digitalizado e de difusão dessa informação, mas a representação tem como base tradicionais fundamentos da Organização do Conhecimento. A grande inovação tem sido a adoção do uso de reconhecimento óptico de caracteres (OCR), que permite aos usuários buscar e recuperar informações nos conteúdos das publicações. / Digital newspaper libraries have been created by National Libraries for the past 15 years from the digitization of old newspapers and magazines. The initiative promotes the preservation of collections and the access through the “Web” anytime from anywhere. Information, the object of study of Information Science and the main element of Journalism, becomes more accessible as more and more journals are scanned by different National Libraries. This study aimed to analyze the features of digital newspaper libraries created by National Libraries, presenting the state of the art of these collections. From the research themes of graduate students of Health History searches were carried out in the Brazilian Digital Newspaper Library of Brazilian National Library, which made possible to evaluate the newspaper library as a source of scientific information. The offer of online newspapers and magazines by National Libraries facilitated the use of news as an important element in scientific research, or as the base of a research, or still as an insight. From the examination of thirteen digital national newspaper libraries, it was observed that each one adopts its own criteria for selection of material to be scanned and to disseminate, but the information representation has traditional foundations in Knowledge Organization. The major innovation detected was the adoption of optical character recognition (OCR), which allows users to search and retrieve information in the publications content.

The thesis focuses on a chosen public policy issue, as a part of cultural policy, namely on an implementation of a project of new building of National library of Czech Republic in Prague, arisen from an international architecture competition. This thesis has a form of a case study paper and investigates all relevant events and circumstances of the case, as well as interested stakeholders. They were characterised to disclose their possible role in implementation deficit, which occurred in the case. The aim of this thesis is to provide complex insight into the case, to find the point of implementation deficit in the process and to identify the values and hidden motivations of stakeholders. The thesis is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, there is a summary of theoretical knowledge about public policy and implementation process and its analysis. The author describes three possible approaches to implementation analysis. Second chapter focuses on culture and its specifics, in the forming of culture policy. The third chapter is a complete analysis of the case, including event analysis and stakeholder analysis. In the conclusion, the author sums up the identified causes of implementation deficit and gives recommendations for possible future implementation of a similar cultural project.
