Virtual libraries in imagined communities: is these past in the future in public services? (A. Lass) ...
p. 221-227
Much has been written about the information age, cyber culture and virtual reality, much thought and even money has been given to preparing for this future. And while libraries have been among the front runners in the digital revolution, they must flow readdress their own mandate in face of the social transformation that is to follow. What the library's public services will look like must depend on what the rest of the world will look like. But, I will suggest, in trying to imagine this future we have much to Iearn from the not so distant past, from the impact that the development of print and other media had on the invention of the modem community on its diverse acts of collective imagining that were integral to our understanding of who we were not and, therefore, of who we were or wished to be as individuals and members of nations. These have always been contested realities In part also because they were and, in their new, digital disguise, will continue to be imagined realities. Perhaps, then, to imagine the future of a library's public services demands that we turn the table around and first pay some attention to the public acts of imagining and then to the role that libraries play in this process.
One hundred and fifty years
after the second edition of the Jungmann's History of Czech Literature (Historie literatury české) (J. Špét)
... p. 228-232
However this second edition has the imprint date as of 1849 it was printed in 1846-1851. Jungmann himself corrected some mistakes in it from the first edition (1825) and continued in retrospective bibliography until 1846. He listed more then two and half thousand of new hook titles and supplemented them by a bibliography of au important journal articles. After his death (1847) it was W.W.Tomek who was in duty to finish the work mainly reference indexes. The title index and the list of translated authors was compiled by V. Žirovnický under his supervision, the author index was compiled by him as a bibliography. He conceived it as a dictionary of domestic writers and presented in it rich biographical data about more then 2000 authors (including Slovak ones). As for the living authors he asked the data from the authors themselves. This is why this index reached very important information value of that time - regardless its subjectivity and non-consistent process - and it Is also an important information source for the present research.
