Magnesia Litera and a new VuFind search interface feature

This evening, we will finally know which literary works published in 2024 will be awarded the Magnesia Litera award. At the Czech Literary Bibliography, we’re passing the time before the official ceremony by reading reviews of the nominated books, which we have excerpted into our Current Bibliography database.

If you’re also curious how your favourite title fared with Czech literary critics, you can take advantage of one of the newest features in the VuFind search interface. Each book record now includes a direct link to a list of reviews for that particular title.

To make your search even easier, we’ve created a public list of records for all the nominated books.

Among the nominees in the NF IOCB Tech Litera category for non-fiction is the collective monograph Gesto a skutečnost, created in collaboration with colleagues from the Institute of Czech Literature of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

You can watch the Magnesia Litera awards ceremony this evening at 8:15 PM on ČT art or via iVysílání.
