The basic idea was to do a library of the future. What could such a building need? It is not where you only borrow a book. It will be place whit different spaces for various activities such as autographs. Outside I designed various spaces for meeting friends, family and other social activities.

The theme of my diploma thesis is a study of a new building for the city library of Přerov in a location Na Marku. Location is on waterfront of the river Bečva close to the new bridge Tyršův Most, on the Northern edge of the historic center of Přerov. The location takes in a free space between the Na Marku street and river Bečva and also a part of an incomplete block between streets Na Marku, Mostní and Pivovarská. In the study I resulted from the historic estate in the area, in particular the renaissance church, which used to stand in the location. I locate the library as a solitaire building in the trace of the church. The library, in the place as designed in the study, would be a dominant building of the closer area. In the same time it would be a distinctive but not dominant part of the characteristic panorama of Přerov. For the free part of the incomplete block I propose a residential according to the scale of the surrounding buildings. By completing the block and placing a new solitaire of the library I form a new public space between the library and the bridge - in front of the library´s main entrance.

The diploma thesis deals with non-library entities that collaborate with public libraries on the deepening of information literacy of library users. The theoretical part presents legislation and important documents that are connected with this topic. The following is an explanation of the terms that occur at work. The main part of the text is a research section that describes in detail used methods, a content analysis and a questionnaire survey, and their results. The conclusion provides selected examples of this cooperation in Czech and foreign public libraries.

The dissertation is devoted to the analysis of the environment and the future prospects of special libraries. Knowledge has been achieved by direct observation, conceptual modeling and content analysis of scientific documents. Universum of special library can be expressed as an entity- relational model. Document services, which are based on the theoretical framework of information management, are proving to be the most important service in special libraries. Management of special libraries is based on knowledge of the information needs of the user community and the methodology of library processes. Library services are interconnected and the system can be expressed in the form of mind maps. Processes and services of special libraries can provide data for information-science research.
