| KRATKA VSEBINA | S tehnološkim razvojem se spreminjajo nosilci in načini zapisov informacij, z njimi pa tudi načini njihovega zbiranja, hranjenja, reproduciranja in uporabe. Elektronske publikacije na medmrežju predstavljajo v pol šestem stoletju od izuma tiska revolucionaren prelom v načinu komuniciranja in prenosu informacij. Nova oblika nosilca zapisa je spremenila publikacije do te mere, da mora bibliotekarska veda ponovno definirati predmet svojega dela in razmisliti o metodah in postopkih njegove obravnave. Obrniti se mora torej k temeljnim terminološkim in tipološkim raziskavam, ponovno mora določiti predmet bibliografske obdelavein opredeliti elemente za njegovo identifikacijo. Možnosti, ki jih odpira nova tehnološka platforma elektronskih publikacij, relativizirajo pomen in vrednost vzpostavljenih metod organizacije znanja, s tem pa osnov bibliotekarske vede in samega raisson d'ętre bibliotekarstva. Zaradi svojihspecifičnih lastnosti so elektronske publikacije brez kulturne vrednosti, ki jo ima v naši civilizaciji knjiga. Zbiranje in dolgoročno hranjenje tegagradiva zato ni problematično le s tehničnega vidika, temveč tudi iz sociološkega. Z obravnavo elektronskih medijev bibliotekarska veda in praksa dokončno stopata iz območja poznanih zakonov Gutenbergovega vesolja v prostor, kjer si bo potrebno pravila dela na novo ustvariti. // Technological development has changed the media and formats for recording information, as well as the methods for their collection, preservation, reproduction and use. After six and a half centuries since the invention ofprinting press, electronic publications on Internet represent a revolutionary break-through in communication and data transmission. The newformat has changed the publication to the extent that the library science should re-define the topic of its research, and re-consider the methods andprocedures for its treatment. Consequently, the library science should refer to the underlying terminological and typological research, and re-define the subject of bibliographic processing and determine the elements for the subject's identification. The new technological platform of electronic publications opens a range of possibilities, which make the significance and value of the established methods of knowledge management very relative, and thus also the basis of the library science and its "raisson d'ętre". No cultural value is attached to electronic publications due to their specific characteristics, as it has been attached to a book inour civilization. Therefore, collection and long-term preservation of this material is not problematic only from the technological but also from the sociological aspect. By dealing with electronic media, library theory and practice finally step from the area of the known laws of the Gutenberg universe into the new space, where the new working rules will have to be established. |
