Abstract

Razdoblje adolescencije za svaku je mladu osobu prilično izazovno, konfuzno i preispitujuće bez obzira na vjersku, spolnu, rodnu ili etničku pripadnost. LGBTIQ+ učenici/e suočavaju se s posebno teškim izazovima budući da su još uvijek nevidljiva skupina kojoj zajednica ne pruža dovoljno podrške i uvažavanja. Iako bi školske knjižnice trebale pružiti dostatnu dostupnost literature i aktivnosti za učenike/ce svih društvenih skupina i opredjeljenja, situacija je ipak drukčija, posebno u srednjoškolskim knjižnicama. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati zadovoljstvo održavanjem tribina, projekcija, debata i inih aktivnosti LGBTIQ+ tematike te dostupnošću literature navedene tematike, kao i odnos knjižničara/ke prema LGBTIQ+ srednjoškolcima/kama u hrvatskim srednjoškolskim knjižnicama. Stavovi 210 LGBTIQ+ osoba koje su srednju školu pohađale u Republici Hrvatskoj ispitani su mrežnom anketom načinjenom u Google obrascu koja je u potpunosti anonimna i jednostavna za ispunjavanje. Rezultati dobiveni provedenim istraživanjem trebali bi pridonijeti shvaćanju potreba srednjoškolskih korisnika/ca srednjoškolskih knjižnica pripadnika/ca seksualnih i rodnih manjina za prikladnim sadržajima i literaturom koja će pridonijeti njihovu intelektualnom, moralnom, etičkom i socijalnom razvoju. Osim toga, trebali bi pridonijeti i shvaćanju potrebe za prihvaćanjem, inkluzijom u školsku zajednicu te izgradnjom prisnoga odnosa sa školskim/om knjižničarem/kom koji uvelike može utjecati na njihovo stvaranje jasne slike o njima samima. Ovo istraživanje otvara nova pitanja i zaključke ponuđene u radu koji mogu biti temelj daljnjim istraživanjima.

Abstract (english)

Adolescence is quite challenging, confusing and self-questioning for every young person, regardless of their religion, gender, sex or their ethical background. LGBTIQ+ students are facing extremely difficult challenges as they are still an invisible group that does not receive enough support and understanding from their community. Although school libraries should provide a sufficient amount of available literature and activity for the students of all social groups and orientations, the situation is rather different, especially in high school libraries. The goal of this research is to see if the acts of forum organizations, projections, debates and other LGBTIQ+ topics is satisfactory, as well as the stance of librarians towards LGBTIQ+ high school students in their libraries in Croatia. Stances of 210 LGBTIQ+ persons, who went to a high school in Croatia, were researched in an anonymous questionnaire using Google Forms as it is also simple to use. The results should contribute to understand sexual and gender minorities among high school users of the schools’ libraries for fit content and literature that will enhance their intellectual, moral, ethical and social development. Furthermore, it is important to understand the need to be accepted and included in the school community, and to build a closer relationship with their school librarian, as they can influence their creation of a clear self-image. This research opens new questions and conclusions offered in the work that can be used as a starting point for other researches.
