E. Sošková
State Technical Library is one of the most important Czech technical
libraries managing large collections and providing modern and complex
information services to its users. History of the Library is dated back
to 1718, when technical college of the Estates was established. State
Technical Library provided library and information services especially
for teachers and students of Czech technical colleges and universities
until 1945 (therefore it was called Library of the Technical
Universities of Prague till 1960). The article traces this eventful
history and is focused especially on library historical status,
collection development and funding (including detail information about
historical book holding), library place of business and major
personalities who influenced the library history significantly.
Keywords: State Technical Library, history 1718–1945, technical

Evidence based medicine and its influence on work of medical libraries
and information centres ... p. 75-81
A. Jarolímková
Evidence based medicine (EBM) is a trend that builds on application of
medical research results during process of clinical decision. EBM
influences not only courses of treatment diagnosis etc., but work of
medical libra-ries and information centres as well, mainly in the fields
of information resources, information retrieval and information literacy
of the users. New types of information resources like synopses and
syntheses and changes in using traditional resources like bibliographic
databases are connected with EBM. EBM also makes demands on formulation
of search strategy and use of filters. Correct application of EBM
depends on physicians’ information literacy, therefore EBM opens a space
for development of users’ training programmes in libraries and
information centres. EBM principles are currently being applied also in
the field of library and information services and processes.
Keywords: evidence based medicine, EBM, medical libraries and
information centres, information resources, information retrieval,
users’ information literacy
