Library science in theory and practice - institutional co-operationat the Eötvös Loránd University

Abstract

The essay explores the key elements of complex professional co-operation between the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) University Library (UL) and the Library and Information Science Institute at the Faculty of Arts (BTK KITI) that has intensified since 2007, and yielded results of model value. As a result of this co-operation, the content of higher education of librarians can be adjusted to both the real needs of the labour market and the expectations of employers, and the scarce resources of the UL (as well as of its network of member libraries) may be sub-stantially supplemented.
