Abstract

The cultural portals of libraries inform, educate and cultivate the thinking of society via the promotion of cultural heritage and by focusing on the regional specificities of European nations. Portals, as electronic information resources, generally contribute to the enrichment of the libraries' collections and their advantages consist of the constant availability, unlimited searching and updated information. The paper presents a thematic overview of Slovak and Czech cultural portals with a focus on the cultural heritage. The author analyses two portals (Ludovakultura.sk and Lidovakultura.cz) in greater detail, focusing on their aesthetic and content specifics, mission and institutional attachment, followed by a recommendations summary and conclusions for library and information practice.

Abstract

In the paper we identify the origins and nature of qualitative methods of studies in information science. We mention the theoretical sources of qualitative methods based on psychological and social sciences, especially phenomenology, phenomenography and interpretative methods. We present the review of these methods, including selected studies from human information behavior and information literacy. We explain the procedures at applying of qualitative methods, namely the content analyses, interpretations, measuring of attitudes. Benefits of qualitative methods include holistic view on information use and knowledge representations from cognitive, affective and social aspects. Orientation on context of information, causes of information behavior, implicit knowledge and human experience is also considered. We also explain the limitations of qualitative methods and possibilities of its overcoming. The examples from the own studies of relevance, information behavior of doctoral students and information ecology are briefly reviewed. The linking of qualitative studies with modeling of creative information strategies in information behavior of communities is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
