The role of libraries, librarians and information specialists in the situation when libraries and traditional information institutions are not sole and exclusive provider of relevant information (potentially useful to users) is one of the most frequently discussed questions of our day. At present, when cyberspace becomes a global communication paradigm of its kind, a traditional ”institutional” approach to problems of establishment and management of public information structures is often regarded as unsuitable. The new communication environment emerging in cyberspace is highlighted by open, decentralised and flexible ”hyperstructures” as well as by interactive client/server procedures. This constitutes an exact opposite to traditional centralized and institutionally managed library and information structures and processes. However, it is apparent that in practice some of the centralized or institutionally managed library and information procedures (e.g. shared cataloguing, co-ordinated acquisition, union catalogues, interlibrary loan services etc.) are irreplaceable, for both economic and procedural reasons. The Integrated Virtual Library concept (abbreviated as INVIK the abbreviation stands for "integrovana virtualni knihovna" or "Integrated Virtual Library" in English) presents an alternative approach to questions of role and function of the modern library conditioned by an interactive decentralised and open communication structures and processes which is marked and influenced by medial properties of cyberspace. This concept was aimed at the establishment of the fundamentals for functional co-existence of the traditional library with the ”virtual library” in the sense of integrated information service which is able to combine electronic access to both ”material” and ”virtual” sources of information with a wide variety of methods of delivery and mediation. The scope and quality of services offered is based both on the ability to implement new network sources, technologies and co-operative models into outputs of traditional services as well as on the ability to merge proven traditional library methods and techniques (knowhow) in conditions of the newly established global network environment. The desired result is an amalgamation of all appropriate procedural models and techniques, of all accessible sources and means which would provide comfortable and barrier-free access to relevant information sources.
