Abstract

The current research presents an approach to the improvement of the librarian infrastructure via the integration of advanced technology and solutions aiming at an immediate, smooth, and continuous adaptation of the libraries in line with 21st-century needs. In particular, this article discusses the design and development of an innovative library environment ensuring descriptive cataloging, subject indexing, intelligent data searching, curation, and collection development aiming to meet the functional needs related to the increasingly growing users’ expectations. The effectiveness of the approach has been validated in the Regional Library “Peyo Yavorov”–Burgas, Bulgaria, an associated content provider in the Bulgarian National Interdisciplinary Research E-Infrastructure for Bulgarian Language and Cultural Heritage Resources and Technologies (CLaDA-BG). Testing of the system was made to assure its stability and reliability.
