Abstract:
Nowadays the great public libraries in Bulgaria are gaining the
appearance of digital centers which provide new informational resources and
services in the digital space.
The digital conversion as a way of preservation is one of the important
priorities of Regional Public Library in Veliko Tarnovo. In the last few years
we persistently search for possible ways of financing by national and foreign
programs in this direction. In the beginning the strategy was oriented to
digitalization of the funds with most urgent conversion – these of the local
studies periodicals from 1878 till 1944 year.
The digitalization of funds will create conditions of laying the basement of full
text database of Bulgarian periodical publications. The technology that is
offered gives opportunities for including other libraries in the Unified index,
which can develop it into a National Unified index of periodical publications.
The integrated informational environment that is created is an attractive,
comfortable and useful place for work in home or at work for researchers,
historians, art experts, bibliographers. The library readers use very actively all
informational services of the library internet page and work competently with
the on-line indexes provided there, they find the necessary title, which can be
demanded later for usage in home or in the library, using electronic means
again.
