Abstract

“Knjižnice iz sjene” ili “piratske knjižnice” praksa su ilegalnog kopiranja i raspačavanja literature, njezinih fizičkih ili digitalnih primjeraka. Pokretači koji stoje iza suvremenih piratskih knjižnica kao što su Library Genesis i Science Hub žele omogućiti istraživačima i građanima slobodan pristup materijalima i premostiti jaz koji nastaje kada je pristup tim materijalima zaštićen. S druge su strane komercijalni izdavači kojima piratske knjižnice nagrizaju profit. Važno pitanje u raspravama o digitalnim knjižnicama su i autorska prava, odnosno, njihovo kršenje, kao i pitanje toga da brojni izdavači profitiraju na radovima znanstvenika koji su javno financirani. Rad se, osim ovim problematikama, bavi i poviješću razvoja piratskih knjižnica. Piratske se knjižnice razmatraju i u kontekstu bibliotekarske struke s obzirom na načela na kojima stoje, kao i veliku količinu građe koju katalogiziraju i čine dostupnom amateri. Rad razmatra i alternativne pristupe koji nastoje omogućiti slobodan pristup građi, kao što su različiti modeli otvorenog pristupa.

Abstract (english)

"Shadow libraries" or "pirate libraries'' are the practice of illegally copying and distributing literature, its physical or digital copies. What drives modern pirate libraries, such as the Library Genesis and Science Hub, is the desire to give researchers and citizens free access to materials and bridge the gap that arises when access to those materials is protected. On the other hand, there are commercial publishers whose profits pirate libraries erode. An important issue in discussions about digital libraries is copyright, that is, its infringement, as well as the issue of numerous publishers profiting from the work of publicly funded scholars. Apart from these issues, this paper deals with the history of the development of pirate libraries. Pirate libraries are also considered in the context of the librarian profession with regard to the principles on which it stands, as well as the large amount of material that is cataloged and made available by amateurs. This paper also considers alternative approaches that seek to enable free access to materials, such as different models of open access.
