Analysis of the possibility of automation of library processes in library of the Institute of Thermomechanics at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i.
Římanová, Jana ; Stöcklová, Anna (advisor) ; Souček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the possibilities of innovation in the library of the Institute of Thermodynamics. Default section contains in the decomposition structure of the library system the analysis of current situation. In particular, the degree of automation of library processes and access to funds, including gray literature is observed. Other source material is a survey of information needs of employees of the institute. The key result of the survey was the detection of insufficient composition of the titles of periodicals in the library. A proposal of automation of implementations of library information system follows. A separate part is the proposal of efficient storage and access to research reports. In conclusion, there are outlined possibilities for further development.
Optimalization of the organization of the T.G. Masaryk Library of Social Science's book collection (with emphasis on open access shelves)
Slabochová, Jitka ; Drobíková, Barbora (advisor) ; Stöcklová, Anna (referee)
This master thesis deals with an issue of optimizing organization of the library shelves in the T.G. Masaryk Library of Social Sciences in Jinonice. The first part focuses on theory and defines basic concepts of organizing open access shelves. The next part provides a comparison of open access collections in selected libraries with particular emphasis on methods of books shelving. The core part describes rearrangement of the Library's collection on the basis of implementing new categorization scheme ordered in a subject-territory manner. The thesis also presents results of a survey asking whether this new arrangement enables more effective searching in the Library's open access collection.
Cooking Stone Soup: Porous Workforce Training at the Czech National Library of Technology as a Supplement to (Impermeable) University Education
Chodounská, Alena ; Krueger, Stephanie
As in many other countries around the world, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) libraries in the Czech Republic are facing the difficult challenge of meeting the rapidly-evolving service needs of the communities they support in an environment in which the current university educational system does not provide graduates—neither those from STEM subjects nor those graduating from Czech library/information professional schools—with the appropriate set of skills needed for working in today’s specialized information provision settings. As a result, the Czech National Library of Technology (NTK) has been forced to provide on-the-job workforce training since early 2015 to its reference, instructional, and front-lines services staff simply in order to keep pace with STEM library developments outside the Czech Republic. This weekly workforce training effort, christened NTKu (short for NTKyouniversity), does not resemble traditional university education with its rigid structures and focus on the attainment of a degree. NTKu is, instead, porous: traditional “impermeable,” less flexible university curricula are supplemented with on-demand, ever-changing targeted instruction on specific issues, topics, and skills applied immediately to real-work settings. This manner of instruction, as the authors discuss in the paper, can yield highly effective results; however, unique challenges can emerge in an instructional environment lacking traditional measures of effectiveness (i.e., grades) and requiring voluntary participation by both learners and instructors. Such porous instructional efforts resemble those of open source software (OSS) communities, in which voluntary effort can produce results benefiting a particularly community—but only to the degree of investment provided by contributors. Such initiatives resemble cooking stone soup: the results can be tasty, but everyone involved needs to bring something to the table.
