Poučevanje digitalizacije na Madžarskem: primer

Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose: The paper aims to present experience in digitisation education at the Hungarian School of Library and Information Science and to indicate various problematic issues and challenges that have arisen. To overcome a part of these problems it is useful to rely on the experience of similar digitisation projects and education programmes in Hungary and abroad. Methodology/approach: Besides presenting the digitisation education programmeat the Szent Istvan University in Jaszbereny, a review of digitisation projects and digital libraries is given. Details about Hungarian digital resources are provided. Results: Seven-year experience in the project-based digitisation education incorporated in the LIS programme at the Szent Istvan University, Hungary shows many similarities with courses and programs offered by other European universities. The most serious challenge is to make the education based on real-life tasks. Research limitation: The results of one type of course work have been studied. Originality/practical implications: Building a digital library in a small country encounters the same problems as the one presented in the study which puts digitisation into a context, comparable to other European projects.
