Abstract:

Standard working habit in classical scientific library started at card catalogs or at shelves with encyclopaedia or other reference works and at shelves with secondary reference periodicals and lead users to shelves with bounded volumes of journals. At present, being both secondary and primary sources in electronic forms, it is natural that logical interlinking is realized by means of computer network. But there is a lot of aspects interconnected with realization of such linking, starting from purely technical questions which are at this moment relatively good understood and reviewed, up to some additional services and options adding comfort to users. And understandably, integral parts of such linking are questions about access and license financing and legal agreements. Regardless of not very clear picture of linking in real situations distinct trends in future developments could be clearly seen. Lecture will be based on demonstration of present situation in wide spectrum of resources including possibility to add other sources to the system. The most actual problems of linking will be illustrated and possible solutions will be discussed as well. It is now very clear that trend is heading to fully digitised scientific library in the true sense of this word.
