Parallel Title:
Collaborative System of Hellenic Academic Libraries
Author:
Abstract:
The article aims in the creation of the basic conceptual model of a "Collaborative System of Hellenic Academic Libraries". A systemic approach is followed, according to which the Academic Library is considered as an open system of purposeful human activities that interacts with several subsystems of its environment. Because of the particular impact of the New Information Technologies in the physiognomy, the role and the operations of the developing hybrid Academic Libraries, the particular and unique attributes that characterize the digital informatiion as an immaterial good are tracked down. Through the study of the historical and technological stages of the development of the American and the Hellenic Academic Libraries, the factors that have influenced their configuration are examined and an explanation of the evolution of their collaborative forms is attempted. The characteristics of the emerging Paradigm of the scholar communication are detected and incorporated in the functional subsystems of the model: Enactment and administrative organisation, communal collection of electronic journals, communal collection of databases, Union Catalogue, Permanent Committees of Cataloguing, Interlibrary lending, Coordinated development of subject portals, Co-ordination and development of local and subject electronic repositories and digital collections, Integrated and personalised access to electronic services, Services and alternative material for blind users Training of academic library and information scientists. Based on the model, the Collaborative System is expected to be effectively adapted in the challenges and possibilities of the digital-networked environment and to ensure the libraries the capability to offer services that would not be in position to offer acting individually.
