Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to the specific area of access to information, public documents and archives as one of the very important and currently highly topical issues both at the level of public administration and specifically in the field of document management and archival science. The development of the information society has brought in recent decades a whole spectrum of questions and the search for answers in the form of regulation of conflicting civil rights - the right to freedom of research, the right to information from the activities of state institutions and, on the other hand, the right of citizens to informational self-determination or protection of personality. Archives, which primarily store documents originating from the activities of state institutions, must make a complex assessment of conflicts between the legitimate protection of private and public interests. Moreover, this conflict is reflected in the entire life cycle of the document and increases the demands on the preservation of information by the originators, its acquisition, processing and making it available to the public.
The student will gain a detailed overview of the issues of access to archives, documents and information, especially of public origin. He will be able to orient himself in the relationship between the right to information and, on the other hand, the citizen's right to protection of personality. The student will gain competences for applying the issues of access to archives and documents in the specific practice of archives and document management.
