Ролята и значението на италианските научни издания при формирането на фонда на Университетската библиотека „Св. Климент Охридски“

Author(s): Anna Angelova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

The article presents an analysis of the Italian scientific literature acquired in the library collection from its founding in 1888 to 1903, fulfilling one of the main tasks – “to collect and store foreign literature as the most important part of the library’s collections”. Italian scientific editions are one of the five main components of the collection of Italian rare and valuable books in the University Library. The emergence of Italian editions in the first years after the founding of the library is due primarily to the role of Italy in Europe’s cultural history, secondly to the changed geopolitical circumstances that took place after the Liberation. The purchase of Italian scientific and scholarly literature, which fills a gap in the period of the fundamental development of library collections (especially in the field of humanities), is essential for the progress of the University Library and is among the priorities of the newly established Bulgarian University. The largest volume group in the collection of Italian rare and valuable editions is the group of scientific publications. It contains 283 titles in several fields – law, history, philology, philosophy, pedagogy, and philological sciences. Detailed analysis of the Italian scientific literature in the library collections shows that most of the scientific editions in various research fields retain significant.

The intersection points reveal the specific professional influences and relations, which impact the formation process of the young readers and the child character as a whole. The text represents just a part of the received data and some of the current tendencies.

Изкуствен интелект, фотография и права върху интелектуална собственост

Author(s): Liliya Yotova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2024

The entry of artificial intelligence (AI) into every area of economic and social life is already a reality. AI image generation and image processing methods have a huge importance and impact in the field of photography. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is a technological advancement and opens up new opportunities to expand the creative spectrum. It can be a powerful tool in the hands of professional photographers, but it can also lead to serious economic crises in the photographic creative industry. Today, it is difficult to tell whether an image is AI generated or created by the usual photographic method using light. This fact contributes to the increase of so-called “fake news” and creates a parallel virtual reality. The article examines the intersections between traditional photographic images and AI, but especially actual questions related to intellectual property in this field. By using the methodology of documentary analysis, current problems have been examined and possible solutions have been proposed.

Museums and Community; Bridging the Gap between the Museum and its Audiences through Research & Education

Author(s): Winani Thebele / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The above theme chosen by the Romanian Journal of Museums, together with the theme for International Museums Day for 2024 (Museums, Education and Research) are clearly embedded in the ICOM definition for museums, which emphasises the educational role of the museum and its dynamic relationship with society. Museums offer a captivating preview into our collective heritage, making them indispensable places for learning, inspiration, and wonder. This also talks about a museum whose doors are open to all sectors of the society. It serves society through “community education”, entertainment and as a platform for discussions, performances, showcasing talents and celebrating culture. It covers different activities that allow individuals and the community to make positive changes in their own lives, through education, personal development, self-awareness and pride. The museum, therefore, becomes a community centre with a participatory approach and also an ecological centre focusing on science and research. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate this evolutionary and diverse nature of the museum through its key functions in society. My paper also seeks to establish how much the museum has truly established itself as a dynamic tool for education and research. What learning and research activities serve to bridge the gap between museums and their audiences? The article uses case studies from Botswana and Malawi to authenticate and support its arguments.

Relația dintre obiectele muzeale și datele într-o colecție digitală de fotografii etnografice

Author(s): Orsolya Tatai / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2024

In the museum setting, various forms of data – written, visual, material, or digital – are pivotal for the preservation and display of cultural heritage. This research focuses on interpreting data as intangible elements within the museum environment, enveloping the exhibited or archived tangible objects. By referencing Arjun Appadurai’s concept of “thing” and its application to “data”, the study investigates how this data influences our perception and engagement with museum artifacts. Through a specific case study centered on an ethnographical photo collection, the research underscores the dynamic relationship between tangible objects and the intangible data that contextualizes and enhances our encounters with cultural heritage in museums.

Muzeu pentru Mileniul III

Author(s): Oana-Alexandra Chirilă / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2024

In times when we are progressively trying to configure museum models focusing on the relationship with the public rather than the object, this article revisits two concepts that could prove useful in our endeavours: ‘third place’, stemming from urban planning and sociology, and ‘third space’, as defined by critical theory. Framing the museum as a ‘third place’ and a ‘third space’ at the same time, I posit, could help us not only to solidify our visitors’ pool but also to contribute substantially to the social health of our respective communities.
