Some Remarks about the Cyrillo-Methodian Bibliography in Bulgaria and its Electronic Version

The article presents the work in Bulgaria on the preparation and publication of the Cyrillo-Methodian bibliography. It has been highlighted that since 1980 the Cyrillo-Methodian Research Centrе at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences has been the institution responsible at international level for the collection, processing and publishing of the Cyrillo-Methodian Bibliography. The stages of automation of the bibliography are traced and the need to convert the records from the bibliographic database to a machine-readable format for data exchange is justified. The main prospects for the development of the electronic Cyrillo-Methodian Bibliography are outlined as follows: full-text presentation of the publications described therein; application of bibliographic citation measurement software; constructing an application in which users can add bibliographic records and electronic resources in the field of Cyrillo-Methodian studies.
