The aim of the thesis is to present an overview of topics that were the subject of research of the Czech Academy from 1890 to 1910 using computational analysis of its publications. The work complements and extends the existing state of knowledge in this subject area, which has so far been limited to analyses of specific publications, fields of study or scientific classes of the Academy, but did not allow a view of the areas of interest of the Academy as a whole. The introductory part of the thesis presents the context of the Academy's founding, summarizes the current state of understanding of the topics that Academy scholars have addressed and describes how the Academy's digitized publications can be used for analysis using computational methods within the digital humanities. In the research part, digitized issues of the scholarly journal Rozpravy, which represented the core publication platform of the Czech Academy, were obtained from the Digital Library of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The obtained data were processed using freely available tools and used as input for topic modelling using the LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) method. The result of the thesis is a comprehensive overview of 35 specific topics that the Czech Academy addressed in the first twenty years of its existence. It...

Information searching behaviour of Czech National Library of Technology users
Blažků, Eli ; Jarolímková, Adéla (advisor) ; Lipková, Helena (referee)
The goal of my bachelor's thesis is to find out how users of the Czech national library of Technology (NTK) search for information; and what are the challenges and limitations they face when using the information ecosystem of NTK. My research consists of a theoretical and a practical part - in the theoretical part, I review the literature, and define the core terms of information behavior, information literacy, and usability. I then use these to define the facetes of my research - the paradigm shift in library search engines towards "googlification", and the theory of information barriers. In the practical one - I do quantitative analysis of the most common search terms in the "Summon" discovery system NTK uses, and qualitative analysis of user session recordings combined with interviews about their experiences. My research showed that users of NTK mostly follow trends shown in the relevant literature - they use simple keyword searches, do not use boolean operators, stemming, or wildcards in their queries; their behavior mostly consists of simple alterations of their first keyword search. Those are typical symptoms of googlification - which is, they expect that the library search engine works in the same way as Google Search. My research also showed that Google Search can be a very effective tool...
