Methodology for Cataloguing of the Book Provenance Records and of the Book Owners
Kašparová, Jaroslava ; Šípek, Richard
The methodology for cataloguing of the provenance notes and marks in books in the MARC 21 cataloguing format is an issue of the PROVENIO Project: The Method of Book Provenance Research, which was carried out by the National Museum Library during the years 2012–2015. It briefly summarises the existing cataloguing recommendations and the basic adjustment and expansion of the MARC 21 cataloguing format, some inspired by the modifications introduced by the CERL, others proposed by the National Museum Library. The cataloguing recommendations concern both the MARC 21 cataloguing format for bibliographic records and modify some of its parts for it to be utilisable also for a detailed description of provenance notes and marks on the one hand, and on the other hand the format for authority data, which has been adjusted and expanded so as to meet the requirements on cataloguing and sufficient characteristics of the owners of books (individuals, families, corporations) and their book collections. Particular attention has been paid to the issues of linking various fields of bibliographic entries related to one particular provenance mark. The methodology further presents a controlled thesaurus for the cataloguing and description of provenance marks, which has been implemented in cataloguing systems as an authority file.

(Czech) Photography in the design of book covers in the 1960´s
BOLKOVÁ, Petra
Petra Bolková will be examining in her thesis the evolution of photography used on book covers in the 1960s; the period marked with certain political and cultural liberation. This study will attempt describing systematically in what ways certain artists and writers collaborated and what the difficulties of these collaborations were. It will also be examined how the author of a book and the artist delegated to design the book cover; the initial advertisement for a book, were influencing each other. What is more, the extent to which the graphic art reflects the content of the written word will be studied. Book covers became a covert space for experimenting with or even establishing new trends in the 1960s. Books covers became a new, independent fine art discipline which, essentially, was censored or criticized only occasionally. The goal of this thesis will also be gradually finding the numerous common grounds between photography, book typography and the final design, as photography and photomontage were used on book covers more frequently then classic original illustrations. Last but not least, this thesis will be looking at what emphasis was put on the visual side and how it was conditioned culturally or politically ect.
