Presented are the impressions of the Digital Reference Pre-Conference held in conjunction with the 2002 American Library Association annual conference in Atlanta. Over the last years, the online reference service has established itself in the American libraries, and has now slowly been trying to find its way into Europe. In Denmark, Net Librarian has been running as a pilot project by three public libraries since October 1999. In November 2001, IZUM became a member of the project called QuestionPoint that is organised and provided by the Library of Congress and OCLC. Currently, IZUM is also contemplating setting up a similar service within the COBISS.SI system.

      Plaidoyer za prenovljeno teorijo informacij

      Tvrtko-Matija Šercar

        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.
