Current issue

In the first issue of The Library journal, Oleksandra Zalohina is writing about the historical development of aristocratic libraries in the territory of today's Ukraine, which are not only an important cultural heritage, but also a valuable source for research in the field of the history of book culture.

Etele Szüts informs us about the course of the visit of Hungarian librarians to China, during which they became acquainted with digital solutions, reading culture, and user-oriented services of academic libraries operating in this specific geographical and cultural environment.

Last but not least, through an article by Peter Cabadaj, we commemorate the anniversary of the life of the former director general of the SNK, Dušan Katuščák, who significantly contributed not only to its modernization, but also to the development of library and information science in Slovakia.
