The Impact of Digitization Workflows on Library Organization Development - Overview of national libraries in Europe

In my research, I examine the inevitable organizational change of digitization and library innovation. How developments in digitization are affecting the organizational structure and transformation of the library and the organizational development responses to the challenges of digitization, the increasing number of digital documents and the integration of digitization workflows in many European national libraries.

Performance indicators in library

Performance measurement and evaluation is the best tool for learning and understanding the system. This is also the case for library systems.  The results of different evaluation methods can be divided into quantitative and qualitative data, but most methods can produce both types of data. In my research I investigate the applicability of qualitative and quantitative methods (QQM) in a library environment, mainly based on the ISO 11620: 2014 Information and Documentation - Library Performance Indicators standard, in which I participated in the adoption of the standard as a national one under the guidance of the Hungarian Standards Board.

Rights management of digital documents

The tasks of libraries include the gradual enlargement of their online content and the creation of an interface where documents can be easily delivered to disadvantaged readers. Of course, copyrights clearance of digitized documents is essential. In the course of my research, I am involved in the development of software that provides effective support in the management of copyrights and in assisting libraries and other cultural heritage institutions in the proper copyright managemant.
