“…Scholars in Spain associate the types of formats and the ease of reuse of information available on the websites of 53 national public libraries and 53 provincial historic archives with the existence of the supporting law (Ramos Simón and Pacios 2021). According to Spain's Transparency Act, the reuse of public sector information is one of the elements that make up the right to access information.…”

“…The model proposed in this study presents a two‐sided examination of sources through the processing of requests by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and experts, which makes it possible to remove such problems. Even when available, reusable information was normally found to be either posted separately from data provided by libraries and archives or positioned on pages or sections with complex access paths (Ramos Simón and Pacios 2021).…”

This article aims to study the modern system of archives development in China and to determine a promising model of its adaptation to global challenges in the post-truth era. The research methodology is based on a mixed qualitative and quantitative analysis of statistical data that show the development dynamics of archives system in China concerning public access and the formation of modern views on the problem of fact-checking, as well as their reliability in the new historical post-truth era. For effective verification of archival facts, researchers developed an adaptation model of China's archives to global challenges of information reliability in the post-truth era. It is based on the idea of using artificial intelligence and the expert opinion of archivists. The practical use of the proposed model will contribute to improving the efficiency of archives, as well as the development of digital technologies in this area.

Transparency has drawn considerable international attention as an umbrella term covering issues relating to the struggle against corruption, the design of more open and participatory government and institutional, corporate, and social agent accountability. It is likewise associated with open data and guaranteed access to public information. However, transparency also has a second important dimension, viz. public disclosure, whereby institutions are required to furnish citizens with public information in their interest. Assessment of both dimensions of transparency poses problems and difficulties. The present article discusses the results of applying the TransPa_BA tool to assess public disclosure in 202 archives and libraries (information units) under the aegis of different government bodies. This tool proposes a series of indicators to measure active disclosure by public libraries and archives in keeping with the provisions of Spanish Act 19/2013 of 9 December on Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Governance. The indicators and their respective parameters (content, form, reusability, accessibility, dating and updating/validity) establish general outlines enabling these institutions to enhance their transparency by furnishing not only society in general, but also their stakeholders, with information regarding their activities and performance. Accessibility of active public disclosure-related documents was found to be wanting in all but university libraries. As a collective learning tool for information unit managers, TransPa_BA can be used to monitor and gradually improve transparency in libraries and archives.
