The work of the Department of Scientific Information:
The book collections of the Brno-based Dialectology Department (ca. 11,000 volumes) and the Etymology Department (ca. 15,000 volumes) are administratively part of the library of the Czech Language Institute but are managed separately and their electronic catalogues are also available in the collective catalogue.
The library serves staff of academic institutions and students as well as the public (both on- and off-site loans, research services).
The Bibliography Section analytically processes Czech linguistic and foreign Czech studies works (electronically since 1992 in the BCL database). All of the records contain special decimal sorting codes and keywords and most records contain annotations. About 4,500 records are added each year. The database is easy to search from various aspects and database research services are provided upon request (we take questions by phone or e-mail).
Access to the bibliography database: Bibliography of Czech linguistics (1991–)
Most of the published bibliographical yearbooks are available as PDFs (1945–1963, 1973–1992, 1995–2001): BCL-PDF (gradually supplemented).
The ASEP database, which was set up in 1993, serves the internal needs of the institute (automated system of publication records) and is accessible on the website of the Academy of Sciences Library website.
The Bibliography Section publishes the Bibliography of Czech Linguistics yearbook, the Bibliography of Czech Onomastics yearbook and occasional thematic or personal bibliographies. It also contributes to international linguistic bibliographies (Bibliographie linguistique – Linguistic bibliography, Brill, Leiden; Bibliografia Językoznawstwa Slawistycznego, Polska Akademia Nauk, Instytut Slawistyki, Warsaw; The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies, Modern Humanities Research Association, London; MLA International Bibliography, Modern Language Association of America, New York) and to the Slavistik-Portal at the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin.
