Documentation

By virtue of the importance that documentation has in the encyclopaedic and lexicographic work, in 1971 the Institute established a new specialized department, whose chief goal was compilation and classification of information of 38 different professions from periodicals and making up a data base that departments and editorial offices use in their work. In collaboration with editors from different editorial offices, criteria for the selection of articles useful in the production of the Institute’s publications were developed. So far, the Documentation department has collected more than 100,000 documentation cards.
Since 1996 the Documentation department has been informatized. The programme used by the Department is accessible to all employees of the Institute. By the year 2008 more than 3,500 documentation cards have been digitalized and each new document is preserved in digital form. The digital documentation archive consists of 61,000 entries. The merit of the data base is in the fact that it offers a simple insight into the scanned original articles, the date of their publication, authors, sources, etc. With such a data base it is relatively easy to collect information from various areas of science or from various time periods.
