Abstract
Modern technology fundamentally changes the way you work with data and further processing. Libraries are a public space, a place where there are a large number of well setřízených classified information sources, which already gives a good starting point for further development and strengthening of their position in the information society.
Among selected trends can include big data, Internet of things, big screen multimedia, sensory networks, semantic web and the desktop, corporate social networking, natural language processing, augmented reality, cloud services or artificial intelligence. These trends not only fundamentally transforming the library as such and their importance in the ecosystem of scientific, cultural and social institutions, but also creates new demands on librarians and information specialists. In the context of the can be seen above that the great transformation must also go through the whole system of information education. Moving to mathematics, formal languages, modern technology and the ability to understand information in context is more than obvious, and individual institutions – if they are to fulfill their role effectively – must reflect the new situation and adapt to it.
We are facing one of the biggest changes undergone by the information society from the massive emergence of the internet. Information society is undergoing many changes of all kinds – from social, cultural through to economic and psychological. The library should be a place that will serve to develop information literacy, information society as a kind of herald of new technologies. This paper is the attempt to map and show in this context.
