Abstract

Difficulties of providing bibliographic control of "dematerialized" objects of bibliographic control in the late 20th century and early in the 21st century provoked several forms of national bibliographic control of online publications that are based on legal or agreement solutions or in their combination. This doctoral dissertation with the goal to correctly understand the deformed universe of bibliographic control by critical and theoretical means discusses the potentials and shortcomings of the contemporary forms of national bibliographic control that are based on aforementioned solution by the criteria that are relevant to the national and consequently universal bibliographic control. In this regard, doctoral thesis identifies the representative changes in the contex of universal bibliographic control fundamental elements, classifies and compares contemporary forms of national bibliographic control and attempts to enrich suppressed with the descriptive discussions about juxtaposing of technology and bibliographic control theoretical and critical legalities in the domain of modern aids of national bibliographic control. By recalling the strong causal connection between the work processes of identifying, selecting, processing, inclusion in the national bibliographies, storage and preservation of the nationally relevant content, which are bases of the architecture of the national bibliographic control and which result with the construction of a representative national collections, doctoral thesis specifically emphasizes that in the establishment of national bibliographic control of commercial or publicly available nationally relevant online publications the institution of legal deposit is a viable concept in the digital environment and that it is a multiple useful mechanism for the identification, preservation and promotion of the countries digital heritage. In conclusion doctoral thesis emphasizes that adequate adaptation to new objects of bibliographic control is of fundamental importance for the establishment of quality national bibliographic control of online publications and that its establishment must not ignore the specific circumstances of the national bibliographic agencies, legal deposit regulations, practice of compiling national bibliographies and so on in certain country.
