DIGITIZATION is not only making images virtual books = compound digital documents images descriptive, structural, technical metadata full texts audio... virtual environment aggregation of resources integration of services digital tools for further/special/scholarly processing personalization

HISTORICAL LIBRARIANSHIP - challenges why using even visiting libraries if primary documents (written and documentary heritage) are availble in the Internet? secondary documents (annotations, commentaries, scholarly papers) are availble in the Internet? tertiary documents (catalogue records) are availble in the Internet?
8
HISTORICAL LIBRARIANSHIP – solution new presentation of primary, secondary, and tertiary documents to end users direct not through metadata mediated view of primary, i.e. original documents means direct not through metadata mediated search mass accessibility of primary, i.e. original documents on- line means semi/automatic creation of transcriptions and editions on-line accessibility of all types of documents on-line means semi/automatic creation of annotations, commentaries and papers on-line
9
HISTORICAL LIBRARIANSHIP – first step creating analytical content descriptions instead of bibliological/codicological in-depth descriptions trustworthy transcriptions/pragmatic editions and layer- editions as a base for contextul editions analytical illumination descriptions and combining them with automatic metadata creation concerning image content material evidence (origin, binding, provenance, etc.) of physical units and relating it the textual works
10
CONCLUSION libraries must bring an added value for their end users, i.e. aggregate resources of specific area integrate services of specific kind prepare metainformation of specific type personalize environment for specific purpose ensure open access for specific material create virtual environment for specific intellectual approach
