An der SLUB Dresden werden die Sächsische Bibliographie und die Bibliographie Geschichte der Technik bearbeitet. Beide Werke liegen bis zum Berichtsjahr 1991 nur in gedruckter Form vor. Diese Bände werden als Teil eines Projektes aus dem Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE) retrospektiv konvertiert. Praktisches Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist die Erstellung einer katalogbezogenen Aufgabenbeschreibung für das Vorhaben. Die katalogbezogene Aufgabenbeschreibung basiert auf einer Datenanalyse, in deren Rahmen das verzeichnete Titelmaterial in den zu konvertierenden Bibliographiebänden untersucht wird. In einem theoretischen Teil der Diplomarbeit werden beide Bibliographien vorgestellt. Des weiteren erfolgt eine Marktuntersuchung zu Anbietern von Retrokonversionsdienstleistern in Deutschland.

Seit April 2008 werden im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Kooperationsprojekts der SLUB Dresden und der UB Leipzig am Leipziger Handschriftenzentrum die Dresdner deutsch- und niederländischsprachigen mittelalterlichen Handschriften wissenschaftlich erschlossen (vgl. die Projektvorstellung in BIS Nr. 2, 2008, S. 116 –119). Die parallel dazu in Dresden durchgeführte vollständige Digitalisierung der Handschriften ist inzwischen abgeschlossen, so dass alle Manuskripte als Volltexte auf der Internet-Seite der SLUB abrufbar sind. Eine Feinstrukturierung der Digitalisate mit Hilfe der in Leipzig bei der Tiefenerschließung gewonnenen Daten wird in einer späteren Phase des Projekts vorgenommen werden. Nach nun fast dreijähriger Laufzeit des Leipziger Projektteils ist es an der Zeit, einige Ergebnisse der bisherigen Erschließungsarbeit kurz vorzustellen.

Unified software development process is used as well as model-driven software development and component-based software development. System modelling is done in CASE tool MagicDraw (version 16.0) which supports UML 2.0. System implementation is realised using Eclipse plug-in technology and Java programming languages. Software tool Xtext is used for specification of MARC 21 record grammar. On the basis of this grammar the basic editor and its EMF model have been generated. The basic editor is extended with additional specifications on generated EMF model. Those specifications are: constraints on structure and content of bibliographic record written in Check language; Xpand templates for transforming records into cataloguing cards; content assist extensions written in Xtend. Addition functionalities of cataloguing system are also added to basic editor, and those are: showing data about MARC 21 format, entering holdings data, export and import of records, showing cataloguing cards and librarian environment. At the end, RCP technology is used for generating software component for cataloguing that can be used in different library information systems.</p>

Universities in the new millennium find themselves in a knowledge-driven economy that is challenging them to produce a qualified and adaptable work force if they are to contribute to societal development. Owing to the structural change in the economy, entrepreneurs require high level scientists, professionals and technicians who not only have the capability to create and support innovations by adapting knowledge to local use but also people with managerial and lifelong learning skills. Such are they who can accelerate changes and make organizations more productive and efficient in the services they render. Consequently, universities in Sub-Saharan Africa are challenged to transform learning so as to produce graduates who have both knowledge and competencies. Such a system will create a balance between university education and the changing labour market. Satisfying these new educational demands are only possible through research and unhindered access to global information resources. Paradoxically, some private university libraries, because of limited funding, find themselves fiscally constrained in the provision of unhindered access to global stores of information particularly at a time of exponential growth both in number and cost of information resources. This had led libraries to re-examine resource sharing as a viable option to meeting the new demands placed on universities. It is for the reasons above that this study examines the practice, problems and prospects of resource-sharing in selected Seventh-day Adventist university libraries in Sub-Saharan Africa. It examines scientifically the causes of poor sharing practices that are unique to each library, the situational and environmental factors that can enhance resource sharing. It provides also research-based information that will help to determine the best ways by which each library can have greater access to information resources. There are proposals for resolving the problems, and there are recommendations for dealing with the matter on a more permanent basis. The study advances resource-sharing model called Consortium of Adventist University Libraries in Africa (CAULA) as a resource sharing network for Seventh-day Adventist libraries in Africa. The organizational structure for CAULA are outlined and discussed. The proposed cooperation is not only sustainable but also structured to provide efficiency and greater regional cooperation of SDA libraries in Sub-Saharan Africa. / Information Science / DLITT ET PHIL (INF SCIENCE)

(in English): The thesis presents overview of current state of museum libraries in Bohemia. It relies on the results of questionnaire specifically made for this purpose. Focus is also on library collections of museum libraries (acquisition, processing, accessibility and conservation), self-presentation of libraries on Internet, means of financing of such institutions and their activities. The thesis also overviews history of museum libraries on the case of four individual institutions, legal regulations pertaining to them and to their collections, as well as cooperation possibilities between other museum libraries, general libraries or other institutions. The thesis concludes with resume of strengths and weaknesses of current state of affairs in the field and anticipates future development of museum libraries. The text contains numerous charts and tables [Author's abstract].

The present master thesis is an exploratory qualitative study in academic libraries regarding the transition from the integrated library systems to the next generation integrated library systems or library services platforms and the potential implications in their internal workflows. Nowadays, libraries all over the world are facing up with a number of challenges in terms of acquiring, describing and making available to the public all the resources, both printed and electronic, they manage. In particular, the academic libraries have more reasons to wish to fulfill their users’ needs since the majority of them use the library sources more and more for scientific research and educational purposes.In this study we attempt to explore the phenomenon in the globe using the available literature and to identify the implications in libraries’ workflows and the possible future developments. Moreover, through observation and semi-structured interviews we try to identify the current developments in the Greek context regarding the adoption of next ILS and possible implications in their workflows. Finally, we attempt a comparison between the Greek situation and the international one.
