MAIN LIBRARY SERVICE DEFINITIONS VACLOVO BIRŽIŠKOS REDAGUOTOSE ENCYCLOPEDIAS About Vaclovo Biržiškas- ’s contribution to o Lithuanian culture, through ir her, of course, the book has been ir written a lot. Therefore, we would like to look at a į slightly narrower area of cultural activity — libraries, ir į what they are related su to, to find out what influence did the V. He was the author ir su of a large encyclopaedia, The Universal Encyclopedia. We will consider what concepts of librarianship are explained in the universal encyclopedias, whose editor-in-chief was V. Biržiška, let's jų compare the interpretation In Kaune leistoje In the Lithuanian Encyclopedia ir In the Lithuanian encyclopedia, which I chose dė United States American In the United States. ‘Biblio (gr. biblos — knyga, biblion — knygelė) initial part of words related su to the science of the book <...>“ (3, T. 2, p. 473), therefore, we ir will examine such concepts found in these two encyclopedias. We will start with the term bibliography, because the field of activity named by it dates back to ancient times. In the Lithuanian Encyclopedia (2, p. 834-847) The term "bibliography" is even given a section. 13 The origin of the word is indicated, i.e. abbreviatiiš on of the name of the language from which this word originated, etymologicir jo al translation į into English. The following is the understanding of the concept jo itself, change, ko explained, should not be called bibliography, because "other bibliographers tend to identify the science of B. books su (Russian). KHHroBezieHue, vok. Library science, left. ksiggoznmawstwo)“ (2, T. 3, p. 834— 847). Be it is widely and quite popularly explained ir why bibliography is necessary for both researchers and students. In the Lithuanian encyclopedia there are sections dedicated to this concept. 9 The etymological interpretation of the word and the understanding of the concept are also presented:,- ir ,in the older sense, the science of the book in general. In time, the B. concept has narrowed, ir now the — science of book description ir is the enumeration and description of books itself.” (3, T. 2, p. 474—478). The tasks of bibliography, origins, world experience, knowledge about Lithuanian bibliography in various fields of science, newspaper bibliography, pioneers of bibliography are presented. Be the publication of these basic knowledge, both 147
encyclopedias contain articles on the institute of bibliography The Boston Encyclopedia o also provides information about bibliographical societies and ir congresses. The encyclopedias in question contain about ten rarer words with the first accent biblio-. One found jų only In the “Lithuanian encyclopedia”, which only ne indicates the etymology of the word bibliognozija, but it is „the term that Fr. Jonas Juozas The Rive (1730-1791) Store „The hunt for antiquarian bibliographeet rs mal advise's“ (2, T. 3, p. 834). The given definition of the term in this work explains that ir because of the contradiction "for bibliography, as a description of ir books, bibliography, as the art of talking about books in terms of content or history, this jų term has not been adopted at all" <...> (Ibid.). Another one who hasn't to recovered himself J. J. Rivė suggested the — word bibliology. It is interesting that in both encyclopedias he is named as a term, trying to reveal the content of the concept. ir The Lithuanian encyclopedia explains the spread of the term more extensively, especially In Russia, where one of the founders of the bibliological society A. M. Loviaginas acknowledged that bibliography and ir bibliology are synonyms (2, T. 3, p. 848). Reading “Lithuanian encyclopedia” article on the same topic, we ta notice that here the ideas are presented more concisely, the content of the concept is explained very specifically, it is explained o that be “due to excessive extension of the term’s content, the term has not been adopted, because that area is dealt with by special disciplines” (3, T. 2, p. 479). In both encyclopedias you can learn about bibliophilia as a specific field of activity and about the origin of the concept itself. ir The three-column article of the Lithuanian Encyclopedia is somewhat confusing, although the essence is explained quite well. The article of the Lithuanian encyclopedia is a little different, written more smoothly here bibliophilia is ir already named only as ne "French novelty (bibliophilie), originated 17th century", but ir compared su with another similar, sometimes used mu alongside the term filobiblia (by de Bury dar XIII a. published book "Philobiblion", which for the first time was written more extensively about the love of books). Be of this, it is emphasized that "the term bibliophilia is distinguished from bibliomania, a morbid — attachment to a book" (3, T. 2, p. 473). 148
The encyclopedias ir contain a number of less commonly used compound words with the first accent biblio. — Both encyclopedias set out the concepts "bibliomania" ir The definition (2, T. 2, p. 479; 3, T. 3, p. 348) of „bibliomantija“ in the Kaunas encyclopedia explained in one sentence the scope of the concept of ‘bibliokleptomania’. Having reviewed the enriched ar terms that are used ar more often and less frequently today, which have not been used completely for certain reasons, one should discuss one of the most important, ir unchanged concepts ‘library’. The article about libraries occupies 20 "Lithuanian encyclopedias" ir 14 "Lithuanian encyclopedia". First, the origin of the word itself is given an explanation ir of the concept: “a cultural ar institution dedicated to a wider, narrower circle of readers, systematically supplemented with books and other printed materials according to ir the plan, kept in a specially adapted room managed by specialist librarians. ir Such a meaningir ful B. meaning the term acquired only 19th century." (3, T. 2, p. 479), further explained that “the term is most accurately U.S. libraries", because “a B. significant part does not meet any of the requirements of that definition” (2, T. 3, p. 850-870), o "improper arrangement B. echoed in the titles. ir B. For example, in Lithuania, the word B. knygynas (bookstore) was used for a long time instead of the term book — collection, corresponding to the B. stage of development when the only concern was to collect books į in one place, without worrying about who those collections were intended for. In the present B. bookstore elsewhere called magazine, only forms an nę B. organizatibe onal part, which can not be any B., but which does not cover the entire B. contents’ (3, T. 2, p. 479). In the Lithuanian encyclopedia is presented ir The term,,library sciences” is explained, but its content is not mentioned terminologically. ji “Librarianship brings together all į this, every librarian should know. ką Ji concerns matters related to su B. organization, installation, management, management, supplementsu ation, preservation, related to readers working methods (mostly in public B.). All these questions are usually the content of ir librarians’ courses, librarians’ schools.” (2, T. 3, p. 850-870). Be of which, the library literature, which three positions in iš Lithuanian language. Both encyclopedias give a second ir meaning of library, which only In the Lithuanian 149
encyclopedia it is referred to by the term, namely: "library in various languages is often used as a term for a series of books of various content in a certain field" ar ar (3, T. 2, p. 486). Both in Kaunas and The Boston-based encyclopedia contains more articles on ir librarianship-related subjects, such as catalog, cataloguing, indexing, decimal classification, knowledge of the world's most important libraries, library history, library technology, library laws, as well as more general cultural phenomena, such as the book, its history of origin, the first books, book publishing, book carriers, book carriers, book binding, and the origins of this craft. A separate article is devoted to reading, perception, discussed reading quality quantity, reading teaching methods, indicated when the term documentation was first used. The authors of the most important encyclopedic articles are listed at the beginning of each volume. jo ir ir ir jų Among the dozens of more important articles in the second volume of the Lithuanian encyclopedia, Vc. He wrote articles on bibliography, bibliography and library. In the third volume of the Lithuanian encyclopedia only topics are highlighted, but articles about the institute of bibliography, bibliology and ne bibliomania.
