Vloga ZBDS pri knjižničarski zakonodaji

Breda Bizjak

The paper highlights the importance of the role libraries and librarians play in contemporary information society. Since the status of librarianship is underrated, the library legislation can provide ways of improving the image of libraries. Moreover, it is crucial for the legislation to ensure public funding of libraries. Professional issues should be dealt with by library associations, which is the case in the countries with highly developed library services. In the countries, however, where library culture is at a low level, the legislation also deals with this segment.

Filozofija bibliotekarstva in informacijske znanosti: ali sta bibliotekarstvo in informacijska znanost v filozofiji informacij dokončno pridobila ustrezen teoretični dom?

Tvrtko-Matija Šercar

In philosophy of information (PI), an appropriate theoretical framework has been provided for library and information science (LIS). The main advocate of PI is Luciano Floridi, who points out that in a digital age PI is an imperative of philosophy itself. LIS, on the other hand, is applied PI. There are few opposing views to Floridi’s statement that LIS is applied PI, but there are a lot of those who agree with it.
