Abstract:

The study presents the second stage of the project related to the development of the Data Base and Information Retrieval System (IRS) for the bibliography of the Bulgarian books from the National Revival period (1801–1878). After the observation of the existing printed bibliographies of this period, which differ in structure, quantity and content, the project team is embarking on the final steps to finishing the editing of the bibliography entries. The paper will focus on exact steps for constructing the interface and structure of the IRS and importing the Data Base information into the system. Some technical and historical aspects and details of this procedure will be presented. The purpose of the final product is to make a radical transformation in the methods whereby the Bulgarian national bibliography is presented and taught. The project team work is related to different topics such as Academic Research Studies and Library and Resource Management in the field of Bibliography and Book History. The project Digitalization of the Repertoire of Books from the Bulgarian Revival (1801–1878) is funded by The Bulgarian National Science Fund (BNSF).
