“…Important to note also, that the library website had the information resource labeled in Hungarian language, making it difficult for the students to translate or even understand. Kiszl et al. (2018, p. 315) in earlier studies note that in Hungary there are few journals or resources published using the English language.…”

PurposeThis research study investigated the perception of the international students on the role of the university libraries in Hungary during the COVID-19 online learning period, the research study sought to establish the level of fulfillment the university libraries had on international students’ information needs. This study was necessitated by the fact that most of the international students came from different backgrounds and cultures.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a quantitative research approach; the study used the online survey tool Google Forms, data were collected from three universities in Hungary that hosts most international students, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest University of Technology, and Economics (BME) and Budapest Business School Faculty of Finance and Accountancy (BGE). The targeted sampling population was 60 international students comprising 30 postgraduate and 30 undergraduate international students; a simple stratified random sampling method was used to collect the data. The findings were analyzed using the descriptive statistics method.FindingsThe study established that most international students never relied on their university library electronic resources, when accessing electronic resources they mainly accessed using Google search engine, this feedback can be associated with the fact that most students never attended library orientation and neither did they have information literacy training during the lockdown. Students experienced the following challenges, lack of adequate study literature, the language barrier in accessing some information, digital information illiteracy, etc. The recommendation of this study is that there is a need to offer frequent literacy studies, provide more digital resources and enhance more and easy accessibility of information resources.Research limitations/implicationsThe research was confined to strictly using online survey tools due to the fact that students were isolated everywhere in Budapest, and the COVID-19 guidelines of 1.5-meter rule and social distance were still in force during the time these data were collected.Originality/valueThe study brings new limelight on the struggles international students in Hungary endured during the COVID-19 lockdown, and their perception of the role of university libraries, it equally establishes significant roles of the universities library in supporting international students.

“…Erre azután magabiztosan tervezhetők a vállalkozásfejlesztési akciók, beleértve a start-upok alapításának katalizálását (Kiszl, 2020b). Az állandó változások és gyakori válságok (Jones, 2020) hatására a könyvtári szolgáltatások egyre összetettebbé válásával (Kiszl, 2017a) párhuzamosan -a rendszerváltás óta eltelt három évtized alatt -a magyarországi közgyűjtemények (könyvtárak, levéltárak és múzeumok) kényszerűen idomultak a piacgazdasági környezetben történő működéshez (Kiszl-Radó-Hubay, 2018).…”

A pénzügyi tudatosság kialakításának gyökerei optimális esetben a gyerekkorig nyúlnak vissza, de a felsőoktatási tapasztalatok alapján a könyvtárosok és információs szakemberek képzésében is akad még tennivaló. A tanulmány a hazai könyvtár- és információtudományi oktatási programok pénzügyi kultúra fejlesztését célzó jelenlegi curriculum-gyakorlatát vizsgálja, különös tekintettel az Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Bölcsészettudományi Kar Könyvtár- és Információtudományi Intézetének teljes képzési spektrumot (alap-, mester-, tanár- és doktori képzés) nappali és levelező tagozaton egyaránt átfogó tanterveire. Az egyetemi képzés várható eredményeként nemcsak a pénzügyi műveltség színvonalának emelése történhet könyvtári eszközökkel, hanem javulhat a könyvtárosok gazdasági felkészültsége, menedzserszemlélete és közvetve erősödhet társadalmi elismertségük is.

“…Even in the academic world, there are endeavours to prevent authors’ publications from floating around on the World Wide Web unclaimed, and to make their entire body of work easy to browse. These include, for example, ORCID and Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára – The Hungarian Scientific Bibliography (MTMT), which has been developed by Hungarians (for more on this, see Kiszl et al, 2018: 322).…”

The personal legacy created throughout a person’s lifetime is increasingly dependent on the lifespan and reliability of computers and electronic data storage. This runs the risk that personal legacies stored electronically and often at web addresses unknown to successors may be less complete compared to legacies from the era of analogue data carriers. Dozens of online services have been launched over the past decade to address this problem, but many of them have been discontinued or are not reliable enough to entrust with important data. This article offers a critical review of already existing research on digital legacy preservation and an overview of the available tools and resources to demonstrate that libraries do not yet play an active role in preserving digital legacies, despite the fact that this could not only enhance the sustainability and reliability of preservation, but also be a marketable library service. With this article, the authors would like to draw attention to this service, which is still considered atypical today; provide an objective description of the current situation; and propose a preliminary model for developing such a service in order to set the stage for future research.
