DIGITAL LIBRARIANSHIP

The aim of the course (which is part of the characterizing and compulsory ones of the degree course in Archival and library science) is to provide students with the fundamental bases of bibliography and librarianship, before dedicating the main part of the course to the topic of the management and use of digital libraries and hypertexts

At the end of the course students will be able to utilize (as users) any digital library and to orient themselves (as librarians) in the main work activities of any contemporary library, especially if at least partially digital.

No particular prerequisites are necessary, if not the knowledge of the Italian language and a suitable cultural level for a humanistic university student.

The subject of the course will be: the difference between bibliographies, library catalogs and collections of documents; the main types of bibliographies and online catalogs; the main tasks (management and access of collections, indexing, reference service, information literacy) and the main values (freedom and intellectual property, social responsibility, confidentiality, professionalism) of librarians; contents (e-books, e-journals, open archives, databases, hypertexts etc.), services (digitizalization, online reference, digital lending, digital preservation, etc.), evaluation and problems of digital libraries.
