Library of the Archives of Tuzla Canton has eleven titles of journals in the field of archival science, which are coming out/are published in Sarajevo, Tuzla, Ljubljana, Maribor, Zagreb, Osijek and Belgrade. Some of them are still significant from its professional archival aspect. They show us the archival progress to date and what was the time of establishment and development of archival activities in the former Yugoslavia, because many archives established only after the end of World War II. In them we find many of their experiences, but often reviews of funds that were stored in the archives. Journals from more recent periods have great educational and informative character, producing guidelines and new knowledge among archivists, registrars, students of history and archival science and to all those who handle the registry and archival material. In these journals we can find everything is new, modern and advanced in the field of archival science, including computer science. Some of these new themes are: the new international standards, linking archival science and information technology and the experience obtained by colleagues who work in this field, archival profession and its place in the European Union and importance of electronic records, material owned by private individuals, digitization of materials and even all the new experiences in the field of archival science, as well as all valuable experiences that is brought by the authors not only from European countries but also from other continents. Besides these topics, these journals constructively bring the contents of the important issues in the field of archival business such as valorization of archival terminology, protection structure and its restoration, legislation accompanying archival business, networking and cooperation of archives and exchange of experiences, etc. We expect this contribution initiate completing missing numbers indicated archival journals and ensure that revives interarchival exchange of journals.

This paper discusses the way in which arranged archival holdings and collections affect the process of use and research. We distinguish orderly archival fonds and collections with registry listings. Archives, especially in our region are not able to handle all stored archival archival materials because of the lack of personnel in the services and treatment as a solution imposed by better cooperation and a higher degree of education archivist working with creators of archive material which ultimately should result in obtaining unprocessed current records as whole fonds. Archival arranged backgrounds and collections are suitable for fast searching and research, and the ordering of archival fund or collection is the precondition for digitizing and microfilming them.

In summary we can state that there are not many differences between archival standards ISAD(g) in one side and information in electronic archival information system AFondy and Methodological instruction for priority processing archival fonds on the other side. As yet unresolved area we see a strict hierarchical division of information about archival described by the level of individual items. Impulse for comparison with international standards, use of archival applications was need to solve a question if we are “compatible” with the world. Even before the future we take a final decision to adopt the standard or not, we have to answer a lot of questions. Hereby, we must recognize the entering of computer processing, online access to archival documents has influence at the unit and content of archival description. Maybe to the final decision help view of Lisa Weber, who says “The use of standards for archival description allow to avoid syndrome perpetual inventory making and force archivists to take the final decision and not to return constantly to solve the same issues.”

The »Erdélyi Tudományos Füzetek« (Transylvanian Scientific Booklets) was started in 1926 as a collection of extracts from the first Hungarian scientific periodical of Transylvania after World War I, »Erdélyi Irodalmi Szemle« (Transylvanian Literary Review). These booklets of 20–30 pages dealt mostly with literary, historical and ethnographical topics. The editor of the review and of the collection was Lajos György. In 1930 he quitted the »Szemle« and restarted the periodical of the Transylvanian Museum Society, the »Erdélyi Múzeum« (Transylvanian Museum) which also published studies of natural sciences. From now on the collection published mostly extracts from this review, but there were included some studies published elsewhere, too. Beginning with 1941 Attila Szabó T. is the editor up to 1947, when both the review and the collection were prohibited. Up to this moment 208 booklets were published. In 1990 the Transylvanian Museum Society restarted its activity, and the review as well the collection were activated again. In this collection in the period between 1991 and 2007 there were published 51 booklets. But these booklets are rarely extracts, they are in most cases large studies or even dissertations (PhD. theses). So the extent of the booklets is very often over 100 pages. The Transylvanian Scientific Booklets with its 259 numbers can be considered the most important scientific collection of the Hungarians from Transylvania. The bibliography of the collection and the complete list of contributors is published.

KUL Library constitutes an excellent workplace for scholars from many fields, including theologians, historians, philologists who study the achievements of Isidore of Seville - a great erudite, author of the famous Etymologiae, an outstanding teacher and tutor of medieval Europe. The library collection includes all his scriptures, edited by J.P. Migne (volumes 81-83 of Patrologiae Latinae), also in the form of critical editions in recent collections and series. In addition, it has numerous publications, although published before 1990, dedicated to the life and legacy of Isidore, primarily by J. Fontaine, as well as the works referring to the times and cultural environment of the encyclopaedist. Isidore was a compiler, so it is crucial for a researcher dealing with Isidore to be acquainted with his sources - works of classical authors and Christians, Greek and Latin writers and poets, which are also in the collections of KUL Library.The Bishop of Seville’s knowledge was of a literary character, but related to God and the whole world created by him. The library contains the literature necessary for the researcher, who, wishing to understand Isidore-a specialist, should educate himself in these fields of knowledge on which Isidore worked. Difficulties arising from the lack of necessary publications in the library are effectively resolved by taking advantage of the effectively functioning Interlibrary Loan. In recent years, KUL Library has been enriched with modern tools such as the Electronic Card Catalog and Digital Library. Providing access to scientific databases enables readers to find works on Isidore, which are written in the most remote corners of our planet. The staff of the Library deserve special gratitude. They are consistently competent, helpful and dedicated to their work. Their knowledge and kindness are the second – apart from the extensive collection - magnet which attracts numerous readers (also the ones working on Isidore) to KUL Library from all over the country.

The paper introduces the mobile presentation of Bulgarian bells as the newest developments in the GUIDE@HAND mobile application family. The integration of the Web based archive on the Bulgarian bells (Multimedia Fund “BellKnow”) and the mobile application family made it possible that information on bells can be presented on mobile devices. A standalone offline mobile application (BOOK@HAND Bells) was created providing multimedia information on bells including textual description (history, creator, material, height, location, description, etc.), audio files containing the sounds of the bells, photos, videos presenting the bells while being tolled and diagrams representing the acoustic characteristics of the bells.

Since its inception and computerization of member libraries, Federation of Church Libraries FIDES has strived to unify the principles of subject indexing. So far individual libraries were using various IR query languages. The first attempt to standardize this issue was the introduction of initially free key words in a common MAK database. Once Central Catalogue in Koha was created, the National Library’s Subject Indexing System was selected due to newly established cooperation with NUKAT Centre. In the near future the National Library’s Descriptor project will be implemented to replace current Subject Indexing System.

The resources of the modern technology presuppose an initiative development in order to unite the efforts and activities for the collaboration in digitalization of the most important pieces of cultural and historical heritage. In a number of cases they have received the support of scientific projects for the creation of an open communication environment with a purpose of promoting the cultural values of the community. This report presents work on a research project for the conservation of cultural heritage at risk. The problem is with national priority and occupies a significant place in the European integration process. The two collections with which we apply in the British Library need special attention due to their poor structural condition even at the time of their transfer to the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences more than 50 years ago. The first collection was created by Colonel Petar Darvingov and consists of 3100 black and white old photos, maps and sketches. The second collection of Aleksandar Bozhinov contains 2050 old photos, sketches, caricatures and cartoons with pencil and ink. The documents have an exceptional historical and informational value, but their physical conditions hinders their scientific use. The creation of digital copies will enable working with them, which in turn will protect the originals from further damage. The copied documents will build a distinct insurance fund and the institution will be able to broadcast scientific information through various forms of promotion of the fund – exhibitions, presentations, etc.

World of great working possibilities with all the types of digital information in all sciences and arts is being opened by computerization in the sphere of knowledge. Current information and communication systems receive, information processing and transmit information in the form of digital signals. Communication process of information into digital information system is named digitization. Information and communication systems dispose of digital information saved in electronic data bases. Systems of identifiers allow targeted information retrieval. DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is one of the most popular identifiers. It's used for identification of digital objects. DOI can be used for every type of intellectual property (physical, digital or abstract) which is named entity or object. DOI atributes document for some entity (name or series of characters) and it identifies that entity on digital network. Prerequisites for general progresss in the sphere of intellectual capital management are created by forming DOI system that means new possibilities for development of copyright law.

Chapbooks as a very specific genre of printed materials are a unique type of a society‘s material memory, one that is currently under threat due both to its physical medium and its ephemeral nature and bibliographic uniqueness. The Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, as one of the bodies tasked with the preservation of the nation‘s cultural heritage in the area of popular culture, has undertaken to process and make publicly available its collection of chapbooks by first publishing them as books and then by digitizing them and cataloguing them in a publicly accessible online database using the MARC 21 format.
