Title (croatian) Analiza uspješnosti kupnje knjiga za fond Sveučilišne knjižnice Rijeka Title (english) The efficacy analysis of the University of Rijeka Library's book aquisition Author Sanja Kosić Author's institution University of Rijeka Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract (croatian) Cilj. Sveučilišna knjižnica Rijeka ima na raspolaganju ograničena sredstva namijenjena kupnji knjižnične građe. Cilj je ovoga rada analizom dostupnih podataka o korištenosti građe nabavljene kupnjom utvrditi u kojem je stupnju ta nabava uspješna, odnosno koliko se kupljena građa zaista i koristi te pokušati identificirati razloge nekorištenja.
Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Na temelju izvještaja o posudbi građe generiranih iz knjižničnog programa provedena je analiza korištenosti građe nabavljene kupnjom. Analiza je provedena na omeđenim publikacijama nabavljenim i korištenim u petogodišnjem razdoblju od 2014. do 2018. godine.
Rezultati. Rezultati analize pokazali su da se najviše nabavlja domaća građa, da sadržajno građa odgovara područjima koja se izučavaju na Sveučilištu te da je vrlo visok postotak građe koja je kupljena za fond Knjižnice zaista i posuđen od strane korisnika.
Ograničenja. Kako Knjižnica kupuje iznimno mali broj serijskih publikacija, analiza je ograničena na kupljene monografije.
Praktična primjena. Metodologiju analize može se primijeniti u knjižnicama koje imaju pristup istim ili sličnim izvorima podataka. Primjenjiva je u knjižnicama koje smatraju potrebnim povremeno procjenjivati uspješnost vlastite nabavne politike, a gledano kroz (ne)korištenje nabavljene građe bez obzira na sam način nabave. Također, rezultate analize može se koristiti kao argument u razgovorima s osnivačem i drugim eventualnim financijerima u nastojanju osiguravanja više sredstava za nabavu, odnosno za prilagodbu vlastite nabavne politike ukoliko se procijeni da je to potrebno.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Uobičajeno metode vrednovanja knjižničnih zbirki promatraju zbirku, odnosno cjelokupni knjižnični fond kao cjelinu bez obzira na sam način nabave građe. Provedena analiza fokusirana je pak na građu nabavljenu na određeni način, bez obzira na to u koju je zbirku ta ista građa uvrštena, a nastojeći procijeniti jesu li dostupna sredstva utrošena na najbolji mogući način, i to s aspekta korisnika.
Abstract (english) Purpose. The University of Rijeka Library has limited fi nancial funds for the acquisition
of library materials at their disposal. Based on the existing data on the purchased
books usage statistics, this paper aims to determine the effi cacy of these acquisitions,
that is, if the library users have really borrowed the purchased books. Furthermore, the
paper will try to identify the books that were purchased but not borrowed and explore
the reasons why they were not borrowed.
Approach/methodology/design. Based on the reports of the book loans generated
by the library software, the usage analysis of the purchased books has been carried out.
The analysis was conducted on the monographs which were purchased and borrowed in
the period between 2014 and 2018.
Findings. The results show that in the researched period mostly domestic books
were purchased. The topics and the content of the acquired books correspond to the
study programs of the University of Rijeka. High percentage of the purchased books
have been borrowed later by the library users.
Research limitations/implications. Since the University of Rijeka Library is purchasing
only a small number of serial titles, this analysis is limited to the purchased
monographs only.
Practical implications. The methodology of the analysis can be applied in libraries
that can procure the same or similar data reports. It is applicable in the libraries that consider
necessary the evaluation of their own acquisition policies from time to time, taking
into consideration the usage data on all acquired materials, regardless of the acquisition
methods. The analysis results can be used as an argument in the negotiations with the library
founders and any other potential library fi nanciers. They can also be used to revise
and adjust library acquisition policies.
Originality/value. Usually, the collection evaluation methods are used on the entire
collections or the library holdings as the whole, regardless of the acquisition methods. This
analysis was focused on the books acquired by the specifi c method, regardless of the library
collection each item belongs to. It is intended to explore and evaluate if the fi nancial
means were used in the most effi cient way, but viewed from the users’ perspective.
