Regionalni vidiki informacijsko-storitvene infrastrukture za zagotavljanje preglednosti raziskovalnih informacij
In this paper, information infrastructure is treated as a constant condition to obtain added value in the form of effective access to public sector information. Services provided by the information society are a typical case of infrastructure activities, which are defined as such the moment they are placed in an environment as norms and standards. The paper further explores the need for better transparency of public sector information and on this basis argues the need to treat the public segment of library and bibliographic systems as the key source to such information. The specific case shows which four activities have to be performed to achieve effective, integral and cooperative access in order to use such systems within the entire geopolitical area of the Central European Initiative countries.

Hoaxes, myths and prejudice in science: example of Pierre Trémaux
The literature review is an integral part of research. The story of Pierre Trémaux (1818–1895) illustrates how factors, such as hoaxes, fabrications, untrue stories, myths and prejudice, which have nothing to do in science, difficulties in comprehending and accepting new scientific paradigms and also slow and geographically limited dissemination of scientific findings, which results in not being familiar with scientific findings and discoveries elsewhere in the world, are harmful for the ecology of scientific communication.
Dissemination of knowledge: process systematization and its implementation
Dissemination proved to be a complex process that can take very diverse paths with questionable outcomes if not shaped correctly. And there are variety of views in research communities and the society of what the dissemination is. In such a situation it is natural to develop a more solid comprehension of the concept and, based on this, a model of the environment for the dissemination.
