1. Kiszl Péter - Radó Rita - Hubay Miklós Péter:
From Divergence to Convergence in Hungarian Librarianship: Towards a
Common Digital Platform

Tartalmi összefoglalás angol nyelven:
Hungarian librarianship and related research are sadly underrepresented
in international literature.
With this article we intend to fill this gap and inform the experts of
library and information science
of some of the most recent Hungarian innovations. After showcasing the
international professional
connections of Hungarian librarianship, we present the structure of the
Hungarian public library network
and its mode of operation. We also analyse current and future main
digital development plans,
projects and the most important related professional activities of
Hungarian libraries.
Emphasis is placed on information systems promoting cooperation between
libraries and the issues
of the National Library System Project, which is a large-scale
modernisation programme carried out
between 2016 and 2018, designed to develop the IT system of the National
Széchényi Library.
After introducing the information systems of academic and specialised
libraries and the access models
of scientific databases provided by multinational and Hungarian content
services, we also discuss
the endeavours of public libraries aiming for multifunctionality and
community organisation.
The paper ends by providing insights into how the outcomes of the recent
initiatives have been fed back
into Hungarian LIS training courses offered in higher education.

2. Kiszl Péter - Fodor János:
The "Collage Effect" – Against Filter Bubbles: Interdisciplinary
Approaches to Combating the Pitfalls of Information Technology
The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 44:6 pp. 753-761. (2018)
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acalib.2018.09.020

Tartalmi összefoglalás angol nyelven:
The rapid development of information technology has partially been
reversed, and may become a tool for manipulation,
which is incompatible with librarians' social mission. Making
information available, connecting databases,
and making them accessible result in people becoming more and more
exposed. Customisation and effectively filtered information sources
create filter bubbles. Although new systems of collaboration would be
suitable for sharing reliable knowledge,
they often lead to the spread of fake news. Despite worrying trends, we
seek an encouraging future.
Therefore, in this paper we analyse the relationship between information
technology, market economy,
and the librarian profession from the perspective of Hungarian LIS
education, and emphasise
the importance of active and creative information provision based on
interdisciplinarity.
Based on our experiences we believe that current and future readers can
be reached through intriguing collages of credible information.
The use of collages can compensate for the effects of filter bubbles,
and librarians may become the masters of creating digital information
collages.

How to make an electronic library accessible?
The Electronic Library, 36:4 pp. 620-632. (2018)
https://doi.org/10.1108/EL-07-2017-0143

Tartalmi összefoglalás angol nyelven:
The purpose of this paper is to identify important principles which
should be applied to electronic library websites to make them usable for
all people.
The paper presents the design principles of electronic library web pages
which can be applied by web developers and content managers.
The goal of this project was to make the simplified user interface of
Hungarian Electronic Library (VMEK) more accessible and usable
by leveraging the latest technologies, standards and recommendations.
Based on brainstorming results where people with various kinds of
disabilities
were involved, the paper gives 11 recommendations which should be taken
into account while designing and developing electronic library websites
to ensure equal access to their services and documents.
