“…This is probably one of the reason, why we can agree with the opinion of Wilms (2021), who proposes that suggest making use of data visualisation literacy, tied both to data literacy and visual literacy therefore has become indispensable. However, we must add that data visualisation needs to be “suitable to extract the correct information to complete a task and make an informed decision while minimising the impact of biases” (Donohoe and Costello, 2020, p. 115).…”

PurposeA wide choice of varied information and data-based tools is reviewed in order to determine their ability treating symptoms of the COVID-19 infodemic. Several literacies and derived literacies, presumably having the ability to fulfil these roles are enumerated. There is also a review of the impact of applying deconstruction, understanding, and anticipation as well as of tools for mitigating overload phenomena, and communication overload.Design/methodology/approachThe article reviews literacies deemed to promise reducing the impact of the information crisis, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsA non-exhaustive review of literature, taken from sources of varied disciplines, resulting from reverse snowballing and forward citation mining confirmed that there is a wide choice of solutions from among literacies, derived literacies and other approaches that have the potential to combat annoyance and anxiety, caused by the infodemic.Originality/valueNo other, published research has looked at such a wide range of literacies and derived literacies, as well as other, related approaches linked them to the COVID-19 infodemic.

“…Reusing digital collections in innovative and inspiring ways has become an active challenge for cultural heritage institutions (Mahey et al, 2019). Collaborations with digital humanities researchers are increasing (Wilms, 2021). Recent approaches provide guidelines and best practices for publishing digital collections for computational use (Padilla et al, 2019).…”

GLAM organizations have been digitizing their collections and making them available for the public for several decades. Recent methods for publishing digital collections such as “GLAM Labs” and “Collections as Data” provide guidelines for the application of computational methods to reuse the contents of cultural heritage institutions in innovative and creative ways. Jupyter Notebooks have become a powerful tool to foster use of these collections by digital humanities researchers. Based on previous approaches for quality assessment, which have been adapted for cultural heritage collections, this paper proposes a methodology for assessing the quality of projects based on Jupyter Notebooks published by relevant GLAM institutions. A list of projects based on Jupyter Notebooks using cultural heritage data has been evaluated. Common features and best practices have been identified. A detailed analysis, that can be useful for organizations interested in creating their own Jupyter Notebooks projects, has been provided. Open issues requiring further work and additional avenues for exploration are outlined.

The relevance of the study is driven by the rapid development of digital technologies and their significant impact on all areas of life, including the library and information field. Digital resources and online services are increasingly displacing traditional printed media, necessitating the transformation of libraries to maintain their relevance and competitiveness. The aim of the research is to examine the impact of digital technologies on the library and information field, identify their potential, and identify challenges arising during this transformative transition. Various methods were employed during the study, allowing for a deep and comprehensive understanding of the process of digital transformation in the library and information field. The application of a comprehensive methodological approach, which included literature analysis and the involvement of various sources of information, enabled a thorough investigation of the issues. Comparative analysis of approaches allowed for objective conclusions and recommendations regarding the optimal implementation of digital innovations in this field. The research results indicate promising opportunities for using digital technologies to optimize communication and expand user capabilities. Key aspects of the impact of digital technologies on the library and information field were identified, highlighting their importance in the context of the modern information landscape. Trends and challenges associated with digital innovations were analyzed, revealing significant changes in the functioning of libraries and the transformation of their role. The question of the adequacy of libraries to modern requirements and the need to develop development strategies were raised. It was clarified that the further development of the library and information field will be determined by prioritizing digital innovations and flexible adaptation to changes in the information environment. The conclusions and recommendations obtained have practical significance for contemporary librarians, drawing their attention to the importance of adapting to the digital environment. Considering the dynamics of the information society, the focus on preparing librarians to use advanced technologies determines their successful adaptation to new challenges
