Flexible pavements need more attention in selection of Resources and preparation of mixes now a day’s temperature is the main criteria which affect the mix quality, strength and durability. Rapid changes in temperature now a day’s big problem to face worst situations, Durability point is a big factor which affects the life period of the pavement surface and its components, Nominal mixes which consists of inert material doesn’t gives better Durability in severe traffic and climate conditions Today’s flexible pavements are Required to perform better as they are facing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been Challenged in the past. In addition, the performance of bituminous roads is to be identified that they are poor in high drainage situations. Present scenario on using various additives for better drainage is not satisfying the expected results. However, the additive that is to be used for modification of mix or binder should satisfy both the strength, durability requirements as well as economical aspects. Plastics are using extensively in all over world and developing country like India. As these are non-biodegradable there is a major problem posed to the society with regard to the management of these solid wastes. Even, the reclaimed polyethylene originally made of HDPE has been observed to modify bitumen. In the present study, an attempt has been made to use HDPE and CRUMB RUBBER as admixtures in nominal bitumen mix to overcome the problem of resistance to weathering actions and repetitive wheel load

Moreover, porous asphalts have volumetric and surface characteristics (e.g., acoustic absorption, drain ability, texture, and friction). These characteristics are influenced by both intrinsic (such as gradation and bitumen content) and extrinsic (such as traffic load) variables, and the complex phenomena and processes that give rise to them determine how they change over time. Deterioration, which consequently impacts budget, noise, and safety. Despite the deterioration of so many different and intricate qualities over time, there aren’t any standards for synergistically improving the pavement system. So, the goal of this study is to establish and validate a design methodology that, when applied to the most important characteristics of friction courses as a component of a pavement structure, works in concert. The aforementioned method is based on extensive literature analyses as well as experiment conducted in a lab and on-site over a period of time to assess how the major surface and volumetric qualities degrade over time.

All parts of Indonesia need medical doctors, but it is not a simple thing to be solved. The world of medicine in Indonesia faces many internal problems, specifically regarding medical doctor distribution. Where do the medical doctors in Indonesia reside? Recently many areas in Indonesia experienced a ratio between doctors and population of more than 1 : 1000.   Data   From the Indonesia   Medical   Council   (KKI)   and   Indonesia   Medical doctor association (IDI) in the year 2023 total number of medical doctors are  214,878 doctors, dominated by general physician 165,453 doctors, and followed by doctors specialist  49,425. Total dentists are 41,940, and dentist specialists are 5,201. The fundamental problems, according to population ratios, is related to geographical and demographic handicap because Indonesia is an archipelago country with more than 17,000 islands with more than 280 million populations, with many specific problems in access,  communication, transportation system, socio-economic, cultural, and leadership.
Development and influence of European and American university libraries
Authors: Sapač Irena
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe author compares the development of university libraries in Europe and in the United States of America. She finds that the university libraries in the United States of America have developed for three centuries under the influence of the European libraries, but now in the last century the European libraries have developed under the influence of the American ones. In times when there were no professional librarians, the American university libraries were managed by university professors, who were educated at European universities. The European management patterns were consequently applied also to the American libraries. The first books were also first brought from Europe. The Humboldt university also had a strong influence on the development of the American university libraries. Not until the second half of the 19th and especially the 20th century did the American university libraries achieve such high levels of cataloguing, classification, co-operation, organisation, computer networks, information holders, education and constructing library buildings that the European libraries started assuming their methods.
Evaluation of library collections and the hybrid library
Authors: Pečko Mlekuš Helena
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe library is an mediator between various types of information sources and the library users. Its collections should be built according to rapid development of information sources and the changing needs of its users. Evaluation is one of the basic conditions for achieving quality in collection development. It is especially important for a hybrid library whose collections are in traditional form but it also offers access to electronic documents in a network. The current article suggests indicators for measuring the quality of collections in academic libraries as given by IFLA and the ISO-11620 standard for measurement in ali types of libraries. Furthermore, the Equinox project, which proposes indicators for measuring library performance in an electronic environment, is described.

It's basic purpose is to satisfy information needs of employees and to support it's parent organization in achieving common objectives. A questionnaire about their institution had been sent to 60 (sixty) Slovenian museums. The questionnaire was composed from three main parts: museum library staff, organization of the libray collection, museum library users and services. Data collected from 46 (fourtysix) received questionaries, exposed the current status of Slovenian museum libraries and allows comparison with other countries.
Importance of objectives of the library catalogue to the users
Authors: Petek Marija
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe objectives of the library catalogue are examined. According to the Paris agreement, the catalogue should be an efficient instrument for ascertaining whether the library holds a particular book, which works of a particular author, and which editions of a work are located in the library. The differences between a literary and bibliographic unit is also indicated. We would like to find out whether these objectives serve library users as well as which objective is more important: finding or collocation.
Individual differences in virtual environments: concept of cognitive style
Authors: Senica Simona
Published: August 2023

AbstractThere is a renewed interest in the differences of individuals due to the advances in virtual environments, especially through far-reaching technologies. In particular, we highlight the notion of the role of individuals' abilities to recognize and use this structure to perform various information-intensive tasks. It has been found that the concept of cognitive styles is very applicable to such researches. The paper presents the classification of cognitive styles. The major findings of the Palquist and Kim study (2000) are outlined. They examine the effects of cognitive styles - a field dependent and a field independent cognitive style, and on-line database experience on a Web search. An interesting find is that the on-line search experience can greatly reduce the effect of field dependence on the Web search performance. Ford's article (2000) draws attention to the connection between field dependence and cognitive styles in terms of individual behavioral patterns in navigation of the hypermedia systems. Virtual environments provide a wider framework for integrating and directly manipulating global and analytic aspects of a given body of information, and it seems to map well onto the requirements suggested by research on cognitive styles. However, more further research is required before we can develop adaptive virtual environments capable of offering realistic improvements in the effectiveness of information processing activities.
What is a printed textbook?: electronic books at the university teaching and learning
Authors: Pečko Mlekuš Helena
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe article tries to answer the question whether electronic texbooks will support the teaching and learning process at the university in the future and the way they will inflluence academic libraries' collections and services. The answer to the first part of the question is affirmative. A lot of publishers offer access to electronic textbooks, hardware and software equipment and their number is even increasing. However, there are a lot of problems to solve, lack of standardisation being one of them. University publishers have not responded to the changing environment in time and that is why commercial firms took the initiative. Libraries do not represent an adequate market for them and are mostly oriented towards individual users as well. There are a lot of ongoing studies and pilot projects in the United States of America and the United Kingdom trying to find the best solutions for the existing problems. At the end, some possible tasks and challenges for academic libraries are presented.

The two scientific fields were compared. A projection of the future role of libraries in the electronic environment, as well as the future of scientific electronic journals are also presented.
Merging past and future: transferring old catalogue records into automated systems (Slovenian example)
Authors: Dimec Zlata
Published: August 2023

AbstractRetrospective conversion as a conversion of data from an old to a newer format is usually realized as a transfer of card catalogue into a computer form in a fast and simple way. The National and University Library in Ljubljana, Slovenia, started its first retroconversion project in 1997 with the oldest, partly handwritten catalogue, covering the period 1774-1947. The description of the catalogue is given, taking into account both cards’ characteristics (size, handwritten/penwritten, scripts used etc.) and different cataloguing rules applied at that period (Austrian Library Instruction, Prussian Instruction etc.). The whole process was divided into separate phases according to technologies and human resources available, and specific procedures were designed (transcription, manual and automatic structuring, control etc.). The results are ca. 70,000 records in MARC format, which were included into existing library catalogue. Records for items published until 1830 were contributed to Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) Hand Press Books database hosted by Research Libraries Group (RLG). NUL is currently working on retroconversion of remaining catalogues (ca. 300,000 records) where different procedures have to be designed due to different characteristics. The experience gained during these projects may be found useful by other libraries that are either starting or considering retrospective conversion.
Wanted: an efficient and user friendly library catalogue
Authors: Saye Jerry D. , Šauperl Alenka
Published: August 2023

AbstractMany people find great challenges in using library catalogues. Current OPACs have developed from the traditional card catalogue structure while the MARC formats have primarily provided coding conventions for the traditional bibliographic description. Cataloguers invest significant effort in preparing catalogue records. Yet some studies show that the product of their work is not as useful as it could be. OPACs and their users efficiently use only a fraction of data present in catalogue records. We will explore which parts of the catalogue record are useful and which are not. We will analyze how an alternative catalogue record, based on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, would aid in maximizing the catalogue record’s usefulness.
Authority control from the past to the future: is the present agreeing on international cooperation
Authors: Dimec Zlata
Published: August 2023

AbstractSlovenian plans for transferring the existing card authority file into an automated one may serve as a starting point to rethink the concept of the catalogue in general. The existing model can be transferred into a computer file based on the temporary references established within the block 9— of the COMARC format. At the same time, decisions for future concept of a catalogue in and international environment can be at least foreseen. Abandoning the local (i.e. national) practice would open the door to the international cooperation in the authority field. Each nation should take responsibility for establishing authority control for its authors. Problems appearing while exchanging these files and adapting them to local uses may then be resolved, with help of the computer technology, in a mutual dialogue
Quod licet bovi, convenit Iovi: multifunctionality of a bibliographic database
Authors: Dimec Zlata
Published: August 2023

AbstractWithin the COBISS system, the bibliographic database is supposed to provide a whole range of objectives: full operation of the Slovenian union catalogue COBIB, including all local catalogues, modules like cataloguing, acqusition, loan and interlibrary loan, and outputs as the national bibliography and bibliographies of researchers’ for projects’ applications required by the Ministry for Education, Sports and Science. The comparison of the two functions, one of a catalogue, and second of a bibliography, shows a great amount of overlapping which can also be seen in the IFLA study Functional requirements for bibliographic records. Four basic user tasks are defined: find, identify, select and obtain, irrelevant of the particular function the database should provide. Once defining all the objectives, both data input and the development of necessary tools can be planned, together with a reasonable human resources management.
Who reads this journal?: Indicators that influence decisions on subscription cancelation/renewal of scien
Authors: Musek Matjaž
Published: August 2023

AbstractExponential growth in the number of information sources, especially scientific journals, on one side and decreasing funding for their acquisition on the other, forces libraries to enhance their cooperation and constantly measure the relevance of their scientific journals collections, in order to continue supporting research, education and training, as well as services offered by their respective organizations and/or patrons, and to justify investments involved in developing and maintaining relevant scientific journals collections. A survey of international and local library science literature published during the last 30 years was made to screen the experience and effort involved in solving such problems. A list of indicators, based on screened literature sources, was compiled, which could influence decisions concerning the cancellation and/or retention of scientific journals in paper form

Electronic book – paperless book
Authors: Ločniškar-Fidler Mateja , Fidler Tomaž
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe article presents the electronic book, which is accessible on the Internet, with particularities and drawbacks that the present and future users and librarians may encounter. It also presents devices (such as scanners and hand-helds) and software required for reading and designing electronic books, as well as the details we should pay attention to when buying and using the above mentioned devices. Some of the most significant web pages dedicated to the selling and promoting of electronic books are also presented. The protection of authors’ works, distributed via the Internet and digital media, is gaining importance. In September 1999, Slovenia also joined the international agreement on the protection of copyrights. It is expected that electronic books will gradually become part of the collection of all types of libraries. Therefore, libraries will need appropriate technical equipment as well as trained personnel for the usage of this new medium.

Cataloguers’ opinion about cataloguing module in the Slovenian shared cataloguing system COBISS
Authors: Likar Tatjana , Žumer Maja
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe fundamental purpose of the survey was to determine, which elements of the COBISS system and processing of library materials within the Slovenian union catalogue in general are perceived as good by active cataloguers and to expose what still needs to be improved. Findings of the survey showed that cataloguers are satisfied with the COBISS cataloguing module, its reliability, efficiency and effectiveness. Their opinion of the overall usability is also very good. Cataloguers rate users’ manuals and training for COBISS cataloguing module as good. The procedures of certification for active participation on shared cataloguing is rated slightly lower, however the results are still good. Findings also showed that cataloguers perceive the framework of uniform processing of library materials as very positive, but unfortunately results also confirm that in practice the efforts of maintaining the high standards are only occasional.
Students’ information literacy in Slovenian higher education
Authors: Brečko Nataša
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn today’s information society, academic libraries play an important role in developing students’ information literacy. The key characteristics of the information society are the dominance of information technology and a fast-growing amount of accessible information. The skill of dealing with information has thus become an indispensable tool for surviving in the 21st century. Information literacy is an ability to acquire, evaluate and use information from various sources. It is a long-lasting process to span all the years of education. At the higher level of education, information literacy is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in elementary and secondary school. To efficiently teach students information literacy, uniform guidelines are desperately needed to serve librarians and teachers for their pedagogical work. Students can acquire information literacy skills throughout their study years only through planned and systematic teaching incorporated in the study programs.

Subject description of non-fiction literature for adults: expert-theoretical basis for the realisation of the »Hidden Treasure« research project
Authors: Pogorelec Andrej , Šauperl Alenka , Miklavčič Milojka , Šesek Darja , Zwitter Savina
Published: August 2023

AbstractLibrary users searching through non-fiction library material by subject in online OPACs, expect to be able to search fiction by subject as well. The research project Skriti zaklad (Hidden Treasure) was launched in 2002 and was aimed at improving the current subject description of non-juvenile literary works in Slovenian libraries. An overview of the current practice of fiction subject description in Slovenian libraries revealed that Universal Decimal Classification class numbers are usually assigned, while subject headings or abstracts are scarce. The article presents a model designed for subject description of fiction, with special emphasis on subject headings, for the Bežigrad High School Library and the Bežigrad Public Library (both in Ljubljana).
Statistical measurements of library activities: implementation of ISO 2789 : 2003
Authors: Kodrič-Dačić Eva
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe author presents statistical measurements of library activities in Slovenia and some problems which emerge when implementing the novelties of the new edition of ISO 2789 : 2003 from the standpoint of a librarian, who provides statistics on the national level. Collecting library statistics already has a long tradition in Slovenia and is presently carried out by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia and by the National Centre for Library Development at the National and University Library, which is also responsible for the content of statistical questionnaires. The questionnaires are based on UNESCO statistical questionnaires and ISO standards while in the last decade there have been some changes due to the requirements of the LIBECON project. As a response to the needs of the information society, libraries develop new services which have to be measured and monitored. The third edition of the standard ISO 2789 : 2003 has defined new measures which are needed to perform statistical research of library activities in the digital environment. In order to preserve international comparability of statistical data it is necessary to implement the novelties of the ISO standard in the national statistics. However, there are at least three problems: how to preserve comparability of the data with previous statistics, how to collect them and how to educate librarians to report the relevant data.

Educational power of public libraries
Authors: Novljan Silva
Published: August 2023

AbstractEducation services also define the activities of Slovene public libraries. In planning targeted services they are often faced with development lagging. The accelerated progress in this field also reminds them of their lagging and points to a very uneven development and quality level of library activities in the various environments they are centered in. Perhaps due to such conditions public libraries do not excell in developing activities to satisfy education needs of their users. Even so, some successful cases point to the fact that libraries know how to act and could be successful under suitable conditions. The article presents an overview on how the law-defined needs for liferlong education (learning), education of users and information literacy, are meet through aquisition policies and through the realisation of different events taking into account the various levels of literacy of the participating population. The analysis of available reports and data point to the fact that libraries could be more successful if supported by increased expert help backed by financial aid.
The percieved roles of academic libraries in present and in future: the case of Faculty of art’s libraries
Authors: Žugelj Urška , Zabukovec Vlasta , Polič Marko , Maver Jasna
Published: August 2023

AbstractThroughout history libraries have had many different roles. They served as educational centres, manuscript transcriptors and collectors, places for study, places offering services, even museums and entertainment facilities, etc. Their quality depends on a number of different factors, e.g. quality of staff, and of services, as well as on environmental characteristics. The current development in the information and communication technology has an important impact on libraries functions and therefore demands their permanent adjustment. In this study the authors tried to find out how 171 students and librarians from the Faculty of Arts perceive the current and future roles of academic libraries. Following this, the questionnaire was prepared on the basis of the following domain facets: time frame, services, communication type and type of material. As expected in the partitions of the three dimensional (Smallest Space Analysis) space three facets with ordered elements appeared (two axial: time frame and material, and one modular: communication type) and one unordered with the polar role: services. With the exception of the service facet, all the other facets clearly revealed themselves.

The author gives an overview of important international metadata frameworks and proposes a minimal metadata set for the longterm preservaton of electronic resources.
Slovenian facsimile in the19th and in the first half of the 20th century: pre-modern facsimile
Authors: Glavan Mihael
Published: August 2023

AbstractPrinters on Slovenian territory did not attempt to print facsimiles until the beginning of the 20th century and neither did they publish anything relevant in this expert field. The development of Slovenian facsimile nevertheless started (outside Slovenia) almost a whole century earlier. Its course is outlined against European parallels, providing achievements in the pre-modern era (18129-1959). The analysis focuses on earlier Slovenian facsimiles which have not been well known or had been especially scientifically unexplored. A surprisingly high expert level, both in terms of technology and editing, is revealed by our first facsimiles of the 19th century which were mostly initiated by Jernej Kopitar. In this period medieval materials give way to modern ones (Prešeren’s Poezije), which prevail afterwards. According to the fundamental criteria, upon which the definition of a modern facsimile is based, 12 units have been identified as facsimiles, 4 of them recognised as complete facsimiles meeting all the required criteria of that period.

ABSTRACTThe article presents an overview of the research area of information behaviour. Information behaviour is defined as the behaviour of individuals in relation to information sources and channels, which results as a consequence of their information need, and encompasses passive and active searching of information, and its use. Theoretical foundations are presented, as well as some fundamental conceptual models of information behaviour and related concepts: information searching behaviour, which occurrs in active, purposeful searching for information, regardless of the information source used; and information seeking behaviour, which represents a micro-level of information searching behaviour, and is expressed by those individuals who interact with information retrieval systems.
Bibliographic families in COBIB
Authors: Petek Marija
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe article deals with bibliographic families in the COBIB online catalogue, their size and complexity. Using a random sample of bibliographic records, relationships among family members are also treated. Bibliographic relationships in the catalogue are not always identified or are expressed only implicitly, therefore data on relationships should be added and the corresponding bibliographic records linked. This would make searching among the different versions of the same item easier, bibliographic retrieval would be improved and the use of library materials made more efficient.
IFLA Principles Underlying Subject Heading Languages: strenghts and weaknesses revealed by user behaviour
Authors: Šauperl Alenka
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTIFLA Principles Underlying Subject Heading Languages were published in 1995 and translated into Slovene in 2002. They try to recover the theory of indexing languages from an analysis of subject heading languages that are used in libraries around the world. These guidelines are illustrated with examples from Splošni slovenski geslovnik (Slovene General Subject Headings, Sears List of Subject Headings, and Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). Studies on the use of LCSH by users of library catalogs were reviewed to determine weaknesses of the IFLA Principles. Changes were suggested, which would make subject retrieval easier for users. The reviewed subject heading languages reflect the needs of traditional librarians and card catalogs. These often conflict with user needs, characteristics of online catalogs and modern librarians. Subject heading languages could be improved if we would take into account the vast knowledge of user behavior and capabilities of information technology. For a better subject access to library materials, we also need to understand the processes of subject analysis and subject description.

ABSTRACTAn incidental survey of the annual reports of Slovenian libraries reveals that academic, university and special libraries are not participating in European projects advertised by the European Commission in its framework programs and co-financed through directorates covering separate expert fields, with the exception of one public library and the National and University Library. The purpose of the present article is to find out an answer to the question about the above described inactiveness of Slovenian academic, university and special libraries which do not take advantage of offered opportunities, and to discover reasons for it. Conditions under which academic, university and special libraries operate are described, as well as their effectiveness in following professional development and in the implementation of the accomplishments of library and information profession in their work-field. The mechanisms introduced by the Slovenian state for the measurement of the development of libraries and for the implementation of the provisions to ameliorate the conditions are described. Proposals for more active mutual participation and cooperation of Slovenian academic and special libraries at home and in the frames of Europe are presented.
UDC class 2: theology and religion – new schedule
Authors: Kovač Tatjana
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe contribution presents the new schedule of UDC Class 2: Theology and religion, which was revised in 2000.Class 2 has been modified, in terms both of substance and of form. All religions and faiths are now treated as a coherent system. Different religious groups in the main table are ranked equally. They are arranged historically and the most related religions follow each other. Another change is a single special auxiliary table, which is based on general principles of facet analysis. All of the detail of the auxiliary schedule is available for qualification in any class in the main table and they are very clearly denoted.The new meaning for the »cancelled« classes of the old Class 2 and the large number of different faiths and cultures generating a substantial vocabulary can present a potential difficulty for the library user and for the indexer. Therefore, this contribution is intended as a guide for the implementation and possible solutions to suit local conditions. The new schedule, which is fully faceted , demonstrates the great applicability of the class and the potential for generating the classmarks for complex concepts within any faith system because more than one concept from auxiliary class may be used in combination for any religion.
The local studies collection in the Slovene National and Research Library in Trieste
Authors: Majovski Ksenija
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe local studies collection at the central library of the Slovenes in Italy – Slovene National and Research Library in Trieste - is described. There is a short historical survey of the problems concerning librarianship and collection of the local studies material, which was of great importance for the Slovenes in the regions of Primorska and Friuli-Venezia, Giulia and Italy, respectively, during three periods: before World War I, between both World Wars and after World War II. This is followed by a description of the local studies activities carried out by the library. Since its foundation in 1947, the library has facilitated the development of the local studies. The landmark for the local studies development was the publication of the dictionary Alasie da Sommaripa in 1607. The local studies collection contains the older material from the western part of the Slovene ethnic territory, i.e. the area as it was between the World Wars, and the material published after 1945 on the territory west of the Italian-Yugoslav border, i.e. the border between Yugoslavia and the Free Territory of Trieste (A Zone). Slovene National and Research Library collects, processes and preserves the periodicals and monographs, cartographic and nonbook material, especially videocasettes, audiocassettes, CDs, DVDs and calenders. The main material collecting criteria are the Slovene language, Slovene author or Slovene publisher. However, the material in the Italian language is collected as well if it refers to the Slovenes, particularly the Slovenes living in Italy. An archive copy of the material is also preserved.

Authors: Tratar Patricija , Jakše Ujčič Majda
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe goal of this work is the comparison of rules about forming and using uniform titles in PPIAK, AACR2, RICA and RAK-WB. Uniform title is the title which we form for works that are published under different titles. It has been used more widely and it has been more clearly articulated since its appearance in Pannizzi’s rules. The comparison between different national cataloguing rules shows that all four cataloguing rules arose from Paris principles. Their differences originate in different needs of cataloguing experts, users and characteristics of particular state. On the first meeting of experts for an international cataloguing code held in Frankfurt in 2003, they have compared the rules of collaborating states and outlined guidelines for forming an international cataloguing code.
Printed and electronic forms of scientific and expert serials in the technical field in Slovenia
Authors: Jamar Nina , Šauperl Alenka
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe importance of standards that determine the layout of serials and contributions is increasing. In the case of the printed format of serials the importance of standardization is also acknowledged by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. Adherence to ISO standards for documentation is required for the financial support of this ministry. Standardization of the emerging electronic formats of serials is still in progress. There are guidelines, but there are no standards that would determine the necessary layout, content and the data. Users of these publications need the essential information to determine the relevance of the document. For all the reasons mentioned above, the adherence to standards and other recommendations for the printed and electronic formats for some of scientific and scientific serials from the technical field published in Slovenia was analysed. The sample of seven serials revealed that the most obvious weaknesses are untimely appearance and absence of ISSN of electronic formats. The results could contribute to a better quality of serial publications in Slovenia.
The current connections between the library and bookselling activity with an overview of the public library development

ABSTRACTAmong the set goals of improving book consumption in Slovenia the National Culture Program 2004-2007 also includes encouraging the development of network of bookshops and ‘quality’ bookshops, that will be evenly distributed across Slovenia. The program suggests them to be formed within the framework of already existing public cultural institutions. Book consumption in Slovenia has been characterised by poorly developed retail book market and well developed network of public libraries with a high number of book lendings that serves as a substitute for the paperback market as it is known in bigger language communities abroad. Along with surveying the possibilities of directing the libraries towards book marketing (as well), the paper also examines the historical development of commercial publishing companies / bookshops / libraries, existing in Europe in 18th and 19th century and in some places existing side by side with public libraries until the middle of 20th century. The paper shows that the present ratio between bookshops and libraries on some big book markets is different than in Slovenia, as libraries are loosing patrons as a consequence of the growth of big bookshop chains. A characteristic feature of book consumption in Slovenia can be seen in the use of the internet in libraries as well as bookshops. The ‘merging’ of the marketing segment and book lending is to a smaller extent already under way abroad, where large online bookshops encourage libraries by means of provision to act as the mediator in the sale of books. In this way, a library can turn into a bookshop with the help of connections via ISBN numbers, without having to jeopardise their original mission.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTA systematic and transparent layout of library material on book shelves of public libraries is one of the essential conditions for successful viewing and searching of materials. The research tried to determine the contemporary classification system of library material for the youth. The data needed for the research was gathered and analyzed by a questionnaire completed by five randomly selected central public libraries. Special collections, arrangement and classification of certain fiction and specialized monographic publications for infants, teenagers and adolescents were analyzed. It was of our interest to observe whether the libraries assign the elements of a call number - which are evident on the library material and in online catalogs – according to standards and current instructions. The article also focuses on the unity and differences of the technical processing, and on color and/or image of labels which additionally explain the classification and the contents of the monographic publications for the youth.
Physics in Auersperg’s Library
Authors: Južnič Stanislav
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe early decades of the Auersperg Princes’ Library of Ljubljana are described. The special concern is put on the Count Volf Engelbert’s and his brother Prince Janez Vajkard’s scientific opinions at the mid-17th century. The catalogue of Auerspergs’ philosophy-physics books has been researched. The importance and value of particular items is discussed in the light of old fashion Aristotelian physics of their student days, the influences of: Protestants which they both belonged to until their teenage years; the monks of different orders; the modern Academicians, especially Galileo’s dei Lincei; and the magicians as predecessors of modern science. The Library has been used as the basis for the analysis of Auerspergs’ early modern interests just after they returned to the Catholic faith. Some books of the former Ljubljanian library could be traced in different libraries in USA and Europe. The Auerspergs’ library has been compared with other similar European 17th century libraries.
