Könyvtárak.hu: új szolgáltatás a könyvtárak és az olvasás népszerűsítéséért

Abstract

The Hungarian Library Institute launched a new service called konyvtarak.hu on March 2020. It is a website that promotes libraries and reading in general. It aims to be the starting and common access point for the services of libraries in Hungary. The purpose of the site is to provide up-to-date information on library services, on the continuous development of libraries, on renewed and refurbished spaces, programs to the general public and on the new services readers can use thus shaping the images of libraries inthe society. We collect and want to make digital library services more visible. In addition to promote the libraries, we intend to bring reading and books closer to the visitors of the website. The study discusses the design, objectives and target groups of the website, as well as its services, and the communication related to the portal, the achievements in the six months since the launch and our plans for the future.
