With the change of the social system, Hungarian libraries had to face new circumstances and, as a consequence, many of them ceased to exist. New library legislation introduced, among other novelties, “public libraries” and “library institutes”, which have an expert and coordination role, and the national interlibrary loan network, in which 56 large libraries participate. Within the framework of the National Széchényi Library, the Hungarian National Shared Catalogue (MOKKA) exists. On average, 6 % of the library budgets is allocated to the informatization. Several digital libraries have been created so far; the most important among them is the Hungarian Electronic Library, which is, with its large digital collections, appreciated at home and abroad. The “Corvine” digitalization project is of particular importance. In addition to that, digitalised Hungarian documents from the Regional and Study Library in Murska Sobota became accessible on the Internet to 15 million Hungarian speaking potential users worldwide.

      Wisdom is one of many human mental capabilities. Mental vitality is stereotypically associated with youth and mental decline with old age. However, also aging is a price of wisdom.

        Information is part of the data-information-knowledge-wisdom (DIKW) “spectrum”. In optics, “spectrum” is a complete range of rainbow colours into which white light is separated when it passes through a glass prism. Based on conclusions different sciences have come to that relate to data, information, knowledge and understanding of meaning, as well as to memory, intelligence, consciousness and wisdom, a renewed theory of information is needed.
