Z problemów form piśmienniczych bibliografii w środowisku cyfrowym

Abstract

Thesis / Objective – The introduction of computer technology has resulted in changes to a number of elements of traditional bibliographies and methods of their construction. The article is focused on the presence of selected types of bibliography in the digital environment and their specific features and applications. Research methods – The author selected and analyzed bibliographies in the form of lists: „full” bibliographies, preliminary bibliographies, topical compilations, advisory bibliographies, reading lists and references. The source critique was used to present most important features of selected bibliography types and the comparative method was used to juxtapose the digital and traditional forms of bibliography. Results and conclusions – Various types of bibliography have found their place in the digital environment, with many of them altered to a significant extent. Full and preliminary bibliographies are run as bibliographical databases of continually evolving content and scope, adjusted to the users’ needs and most often offering enhanced access to full texts with features specific for bibliography 2.0. Less changes can be noticed in topical compilations, advisory bibliographies and reading lists unless they are built for commercial purposes – their presence on the web facilitates access to specialized and profiled information. The construction of references has been made easier with computer tools such as bibliography generators and managers.
