Abstract

Rad se bavi pojavom i razvojem knjižničnih OPAC-a te uključuje evaluacije provedene nad izabranim OPAC-ima narodnih knjižnica u svijetu i Republici Hrvatskoj. Prvi dio rada tako uključuje pregled literature na temu kontinuiranog napretka knjižničnih kataloga, koji se s vremenom sve više okreću potrebama korisnika. Orijentiranost na korisničke potrebe, koje s vremenom uvelike postaju određene pojavom interaktivnih sučelja na world wide web-u, s vremenom dovodi do pojave ideje o OPAC-u 2.0 - varijanti knjižničnog online kataloga prilagođenoj suvremenom korisniku. Spomenuta ideja o OPAC-ima 2.0, uz predviđene prednosti poput uključivanja korisnika u stvaranje sadržaja na sučeljima knjižničnih kataloga isto tako nailazi i na kritiku, čiji je pregled detaljnije prikazan u radu.
Provedene evaluacije u radu su usredotočene na utvrđivanje učestalosti OPAC 2.0 značajki kod izabranih OPAC-a pet narodnih knjižnica u svijetu te pet narodnih knjižnica u Republici Hrvatskoj. Cilj je bio utvrditi koje od ispitanih značajki se najčešće i najrjeđe pojavljuju u sastavu izabranih OPAC-a, utvrditi koje OPAC 2.0 značajke su aktualne kod ispitanih OPAC-a te u konačnici zaključiti razliku između svjetskih i hrvatskih OPAC-a po pitanju razine razvoja.
Rezultati provedenih evaluacija su u konačnici omogućili detaljan pogled na učestalost ispitanih značajki, koja je pobliže opisana u radu. Nadalje, po pitanju OPAC 2.0 značajki se pokazalo kako ih svjetske narodne knjižnice zaista uključuju u sastav svojih OPAC-a, čime je dokazan njihov pozitivan doprinos knjižničnim katalozima. Zaključno, konačna usporedba rezultata svjetskih i hrvatskih narodnih knjižnica pokazuje prednost koju svjetski OPAC-i ostvaruju, čime se nameću kao mogući uzor za daljnji napredak OPAC-a narodnih knjižnica u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with the emergence and development of library OPACs and includes evaluations conducted on selected OPACs of public libraries in the world and in the Republic of Croatia. The first part of the paper thus includes a review of the literature on the topic of continuous progress of library catalogs, which over time increasingly turned to the needs of users. Orientation to user needs, which over time became largely determined by the emergence of interactive interfaces on the world wide web, eventually leads to the idea of OPAC 2.0 - a variant of the library online catalog adapted to the modern user. The mentioned idea of OPAC 2.0, in addition to the envisaged advantages such as involving users in the creation of content on the interfaces of library catalogs, also encounters criticism, the review of which is presented in more detail in the paper.
The evaluations conducted in this paper are focused on determining the frequency of OPAC 2.0 features in selected OPACs of five public libraries in the world and five public libraries in the Republic of Croatia. The aim was to determine which of the examined features most often and most rarely appear in the selected OPACs, to determine which OPAC 2.0 features are currently included in tested OPACs and finally to conclude the difference between world and Croatian OPACs in terms of level of development.
The results of the evaluations ultimately provided a detailed view of the frequency of the examined features, which is described in more detail in the paper. Furthermore, in terms of OPAC 2.0 features, it has been shown that the World Public Libraries do include them in their OPACs, proving their positive contribution to library catalogs. In conclusion, the final comparison of the results of world and Croatian public libraries shows the advantage that world OPACs achieve, which renders them as a possible model for further progress of OPACs of public libraries in the Republic of Croatia.
