For the first time, ELTE journals received the title „MTMT Qualified Journal”. The recognition is considered outstanding both within the university and nationwide.

The MTMT (Hungarian National Library of Scientific Works) Repository Qualification Committee has awarded certificates to three online scientific journals affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities, based on the submitted applications for qualification:

• Lejana (https://ojs.elte.hu/lejana)
• RussianStudies.hu (https://www.russianstudies.hu/onlineperiodikaen.html)
• Távol-Keleti Tanulmányok/Journal of East Asian Cultures (https://ojs.elte.hu/tkt)

Currently, only fourteen academic journals are certified.

The qualification protocol is intended to certify journals’ publishing practices published in online database software, using the Open Access or delayed Open Access publishing model. The process examines the journal's peer review process and the practice of informing potential authors and readers. The purpose of the certification is to support the work of the editorial offices, to promote  the development of a standardised operation of national web journals, which also ensures the automatic uploading of the articles' bibliographic data into MTMT.

The recognition is due to the outstanding and persistent professional work of the editorial boards of Lejana, RussianStudies.hu and Journal of East Asian Cultures, the scientific research of the authors, as well as the support of the coordinator responsible for strengthening, increasing the prestige and visibility of the journals affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities, Edit Zelei Markó-Markechné, and the contribution of the ELTE University Library and Archives.

Our heartfelt congratulations to the editorial board of the qualified journals and to the authors published in the journals, and we wish them continued success in their academic work!

Two hundred and fifty years ago, in 1773, Pope Clement XIII dissolved the Jesuit order, accelerating the process of the university's transfer to the state. Between 1635 and 1773, many distinguished Jesuits of great knowledge taught at our university, leaving a lasting mark on the history of the institution. In January our feature is on the Jesuit teacher György Dobronoki.

György Dobronoki was born in Dobronok (now Dobrovnik, Slovenia) in 1588, entered the Jesuit order in 1610, and was ordained a priest in 1622. He taught in Vienna, Graz, Győr, Sopron, Zagreb, Homonna and Nagyszombat. He is credited with organizing the Jesuit colleges in Győr and Sopron. From 1631, he was the rector of the Nagyszombat college. On May 12, 1635, Péter Pázmány drafted the charter of the Nagyszombat University in the presence of rector György Dobronoki, György Forró and imperial confessor, Nicolas Lamormain. From 1636, Dobronoki was responsible for overseeing university construction. He kept a diary about the first years of the university, which can be found today in the manuscripts of our library, in the Hevenesi collection ( http://hdl.handle.net/10831/22402).

On the occasion of the Hungarian Culture Day (22 January 2023), the ELTE University Library and Archives invites you to visit our virtual medical history exhibition.

The pages of our old books offer an insight into the history of medicine and the secrets of healing in the 16th century.

How were dissections performed in the early modern age? How were the eyeball structures depicted in the 16th century? Where was the first university botanical garden established? These are some of the questions you might discover when you visit our virtual exhibition. We have selected volumes from the University Library's collection from the 16th century to reflect the paradigm shifts on the field of medicine of this period, including botanical volumes, recipe books and anatomical atlases.

Join our virtual journey through time!

In Christmas time 2022, the ELTE University Library and Archives awarded the Pro Bibliotheca Universitatis Certificate of Merit to Anna Orbókné Jagiello and Kinga Sutócki, staff members of the Collection Management Department, thanking them for their high quality and prestigious professional work.

Anna Jagiello Orbókné was honoured for her high quality professional work over three decades and for her role in building the ELTE University Library and Archives' national and international relations. She has consistently performed her duties with high standards, conscientiousness and diligence. Her precision and helpfulness have been demonstrated in the exploration of the content and form of books and journals in the Slavic language family, in the Hungarian and Polish languages, in the support of the Secretariat's work, and in the direct service of library users in the Public Services Department between 2013 and 2018. She has also been involved in the compilation of literature surveys in various disciplines and in the provision of electronic information. She has continuously helped to build the University Library and Archives' national and international relations, especially with Poland. She regularly carries out technical and administrative translations, accompanies delegations and gives professional presentations to Erasmus+ fellows.

Kinga Sutócki's dedicated work, in particular her central journalistic duties at the ELTE University Library and Archives and her participation in the institution's events for more than 20 years, has contributed significantly to the University Library and Archives' reputation. The tasks entrusted to her have always been carried out with reliability, precision and conscientiousness. During her years at the University Library, she first put her expertise and skills to good use in the Public Services Department. In 2014, she joined the Collection Management Department as a member of the Periodicals Team, where she supports effective communication with staff in ELTE libraries and with public partners. She also ensures the quality of her processing work. As part of the University Library's events team, she is one of the permanent leaders of the library tours, helping to maintain and enhance the reputation and prestige of the institution by presenting our wide range of services, library history and curiosities.
