Abstract

Rad prikazuje povijesni pregled djelovanja Nacionalne knjižnice Australije, njenu borbu kao obrazovne i kulturne institucije na nacionalnoj razini te njeno zalaganje i doprinos očuvanju kulturno – društvene baštine australskog stanovništva kroz svijet knjižničarske profesije. Ističe se odnos okolnosti i australskog društva u vremenskom, mjesnom i tehnološkom pogledu, njihov suživot i posljedice supostojanja kroz odnos korisnika i knjižnice kao kulturno – obrazovne ustanove. Ističe se požrtvovnost knjižničnog osoblja, ali i korisnika, u postizanju napretka, inovacija i jačanja odnosa knjižnice na nacionalnom nivou. Iznosi se utjecaj modernog doba i tehnologije na knjižnicu i korisnike te novi putevi koji se neizbježno stvaraju međusobnom interakcijom modernog svijeta knjiga kao duhovnog blaga. Uočavaju se pozitivne karakteristike u odnosu korisnika prema knjižničnoj građi i uslugama, unatoč konstantnom konzistentnom širenju tehnologije i njenom sve agresivnijem zadiranju u svaki aspekt i područje ljudskog života. Multikulturalnost je postala veoma bitan dio današnje socijalne stvarnosti, za čije očuvanje i promociju u svijetu knjižnica se brine Nacionalna knjižnica Australije te skladno spaja staro i novo, knjižnične usluge, tehnologiju i današnje iznimno lako promjenjivo ljudsko društvo. Kao svjetski poznata institucija, NLA biva i ostaje jednom od ponajboljih primjera zalaganja i borbe knjižničarske struke za opstanak kulturno – književne baštine i naslijeđa jednog naroda.

Abstract (english)

This thesis presents a historical overview of the work of the National Library of Australia, its struggle as an educational and cultural institution at national level, and its commitment and contribution to the conservation of the cultural and social heritage of the Australian population throughout the world of the library profession. The relationship between circumstances and Australian society in temporal, local and technological terms, their coexistence and the consequences of coexistence through the relationship between users and the library as a cultural and educational institution, is emphasized. The dedication of library staff and users, in making progress, innovating and strengthening library relationships at the national level, is shown. The influence of the modern age and technology on the library and its users, as well as new avenues that inevitably are created by the interaction of the modern world of books as a spiritual treasure, are presented. Positive characteristics are observed in the attitude of users towards library materials and services, despite the constant consistent spread of technology and its increasingly aggressive intrusion into every aspect and area of human life. Multiculturalism has become a very important part of today's social reality, whose preservation and promotion in the world of libraries is taken care of by the National Library of Australia and harmoniously integrates old and new, library services, technology and today's extremely changeable human society. As a world-renowned institution, the NLA remains one of the best examples of the commitment and struggle of the library profession for the survival of one nation's cultural – and literary heritage.
