The Life During COVID-19 Metadata Schema Application Profile is an XML Schema application profile for describing a collection of internet-based media and datasets that reflect American reactions and outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2019-2020. This XML schema aims to describe collections that showcase elements of political, social, economic, and individualistic life and that consist of a diverse set of items including picture files (jpg/png), video and audio files (mp4/mp3), articles or announcements from websites (html/pdf), and datasets generated from social networking websites and downloaded from open data websites (csv). Collections described by this schema will enable future generations to witness and come to a greater understanding of the social environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the sphere of higher education electronic library systems (ELS) – external or internal, – acquired to the library collections, are the basic digital educational resources. Their qualitative characteristics are not normatively defined, but are related to similar characteristics of individual electronic documents.The predominant number of electronic EBS documents are derivative electronic publications that completely copy the printed analogue. The form and method of organizing the text of such documents does not take into account the specifi of scanning reading, which is characteristic of modern students. The importance of electronic resources in the information support of the educational process in universities necessitates the study of digital educational reading, which will increase their effectiveness. To test the hypothesis, starting from the 2021/2022 academic year at the Bashkir Institute of Physical Culture (Bashkortostan, Ufa), the study is being conducted among full-time and part-time students, the purpose of which is to compare the effectiveness of reading educational printed and electronic publications. Quantitative research methods are indicators "reading time" and "number of keywords". Writing abstracts has become a qualitative indicator for to study the reading comprehension. Up to 01.03.2022, 73 students took part in the study. The analysis of the results showed that the speed of reading electronic texts is higher if compared to reading printed publications. But the indicators of meaningful perception are higher among students reading printed text. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the research that may be taken into account and will become useful when organizing the educational process.
There are 315 incunabula in the Vilnius University Library now. The aim of the article was to examine how the fund of these incunabula was compiled and the amount of this fund was changing, what factors influenced changes of this fund, and what is the significance of these incunabula for Lithuanian culture. At the same time it was an attempt using incunabula to show at least passingly how Lithuania looked in European political, cultural and ideological context of that time, what events or processes influenced collection accession, who and by what ties related it to other countries. Lithuania was not a desert island on an European map, withdrawn from prevalent political cultural and ideological changes, neither it was a total barren, accepting no progress or novelties. It was inquired by what ways the incunabula emerged in our country, what was the demand and what impact they made, who and why acquired them, and what marks their activity had left so that we could judge by them about their circulation in Lithuanian cultural life and contemplate what still undiscovered treasures may be hidden in them waiting for researchers attention.

The Historic Collection of the Library of the University of Barcelona has approximately 150.000 copies of editions printed between 1465 and 1800. Most of them come from the collections of convents seized by the State in 1835, due to the suppression of religious orders decreed by the Mendizábal government. The creation of a Provenance Database of the Historic Collection of the Library of the University of Barcelona will be made available to researchers and librarians and provide an indispensable tool for the reconstruction of the bibliographic collections of Barcelona¿s former convents libraries. Their role in the cultural history of the city is fundamental as some of them functioned as public libraries. The poster justifies the need of this database and shows a prototype of it. ; La creación de una Base de Datos de Procedencias de la Colección Histórica de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Barcelona pondrá a disposición de investigadores y bibliotecarios una herramienta imprescindible para la reconstrucción de las bibliotecas de los antiguos conventos de Barcelona, incautadas por el Estado a raíz de las leyes desamortizadoras de Mendizábal durante el primer tercio del S. XIX. Su papel en la historia cultural de la Ciudad es fundamental, ya que algunas de ellas cumplieron la función de públicas. El póster justifica la necesidad de la base de datos y muestra un prototipo de la misma.
Expanding the research about the old Vilnius University Library launched by L. Vladimirovas, this article discusses the fact (which has never been mentioned in historiography), about a gift to the burnt library of Åbo Academy, which then belonged to the Duchy of Finland, Russian Empire. In support action, which was organised by the supreme government of Russian Empire, lots of scientific, educational and cultural institutions took part; one of them was Vilnius University. Successful research of official documents, preserved in Lithuanian State Historical Archive (one of them The books of gifts to Vilnius University, 1820–1832), and the Activity daybook (1823–1832) of Vilnius University Library, as well as lists of donated books, preserved in the Library of Helsinki National University (Catalogus librorum qui bis extant in Bibliotheca Caesareae Universitatis Vilnensis) and in Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (Katalog ksiąg dubletowych Biblioteki Uniwesyteckiej Wilenskiej oddanych dla zgorzaley Biblioteki Abowskiej i tamże odeslanych roku 1829 dnia 28 lutego), allowed us to specify chronology of this charity act, discover its effectors in Vilnius, and provide qualitative and quantitative parameters of donated books. It was identified, that the shipment of books delivered from Vilnius no earlier than 1829 February 28, consisted of 1481 volumes, mainly doublet books on different topics, which were deposited to the Helsinki University. Alexander Wictor Bohatkiewicz, a librarian and a bibliographer in Vilnius University Library, played a crucial role in the selection of the books. At present, the best part of the donated books is preserved in the National Library of Helsinki University. Completed research makes a premise to a historical digital reconstruction of the donated collection.
