The bachelor thesis introduces the issue of mass digitization and its projects, which currently affect many digitizing activities all over the world and which have an impact on various areas of librarianship, such as access to information, roles of libraries and books or copyright relations. The introductory part is devoted to the definition of mass digitization and its placement in the context of digitization efforts. The second part briefly describes the advantages and disadvantages of mass digitization projects and its particular aspects, such as copyrights, OCR technology, metadata, finance, long-term preservation of documents etc., which largely affect those projects. Mass digitization projects are divided by types of financing in the next part. Particular projects are characterized in the context with the situation that prevails in Asia and Europe with mentioned examples from particular countries, and the situation in the Czech Republic. The final part compares the projects Google Book Search and Open Content Alliance with the Norwegian National Digital Library, as a representative of mass digitization among national digital libraries. Evaluation of results of comparison and the effects of mass digitization are stated at the end of the bachelor thesis.
