Artotēkas Latvijas kultūrtelpā: vai bibliotēku zelta griezums?
2018
Reaģējot uz nerimstoši mainīgo laikmeta attīstību un akcentējot mūsdienīgu bibliotekāro pakalpojumu ieviešanas nepieciešamību, bakalaura darbs veidots par artotēkām, kas uzskatāmas par Latvijā inovatīvu kultūrtelpas piedāvājumu. Tā uzbūve tiecas apvienot aktuālo idejisko, juridisko un organizatorisko rāmējumu ar ārvalstu artotēku darbības piemēriem, lai radītu tādu modeli, kas praktiski spētu darboties Latvijas bibliotēku ietvarā.

Later, mindful of the great value of free libraries for his self-training in his youth, Carnegie devoted several million dollars for the establishment of over 2,500 new public lib…
Making the research process as open as possible
2015
Librarians are taking new roles and participating the research process as partners of the researchers. Librarians are more and more experts on publishing and data management and consultants on Open Science. This partnership can be seen also from a broader perspective, where the role of the librarian is making the research as open as possible from the beginning till the end. And actually, the role of the librarian is enabling the open research process. Libraries are the key players, when universities create centralized services for the process of open publishing. This represents the new way of looking at things in library and actually in the whole university. The meaning and purpose of libra…
