Abstract

U ovom radu iznose se izazovi sa kojima se susreću školski knjižničari u digitalnom dobu. Tehnološki razvoj uvelike je utjecao na poslovanje školskih knjižnica. Upotreba novih tehnologija u školskoj knjižnici pruža nove mogućnosti u pružanju naprednijih usluga. Polazeći od tvrdnje da je školska knjižnica temelj uspješnog funkcioniranja škole, objašnjene su njezine zadaće, vrsta građe koja je propisana planom i programom škole te tko su korisnici školske knjižnice. Posebno je istaknuta uloga školskog knjižničara kao informacijskog stručnjaka koji pruža podršku odgojno-obrazovnom procesu. Dodatno, digitalne tehnologije prisutne su u svim aspektima ljudskih djelatnosti, a prioritet školskog knjižničara je usavršavati svoja znanja kako bi uspješno implementirao digitalne tehnologije u rad školske knjižnice. To podrazumijeva računalnu opremu u školskog knjižnici, kvalitetnu mrežni sustav umjesto klasične stranice, koji se redovito održava i sadrži online kataloge i elektroničku građu te pruža mogućnosti u skladu s webom 2.0. Napredno korištenje weba 2.0 olakšava posao školskih knjižničara, pruža im jednostavniju komunikaciju s korisnicima (npr. putem društvenih mreža) te generalno unaprjeđivanje knjižničnih usluga. Osim toga, spomenuti su alati web-a 2.0 koji tradicionalnim uslugama daju novi, suvremeni oblik. U radu je istaknuta i pandemija kao izazov djelovanja školskog knjižničara u online okruženju.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, the challenges that school librarians face in the digital age are examined. Technological development has greatly affected the business of school libraries. The usage of new technologies in the school library offers new possibilities in offering advanced services. Considering the claim that the school library is the fundamental basis for the functioning of a successful school, its tasks, the type of build prescribed by the plan and programme of the school as well as who are the users of the school library are explained. Especially emphasized is the role of the school librarian as an informational expert who offers support to the educational process. In addition, digital technologies are present in all aspects of human activities, and the priority of the school librarian is to perfect their knowledge to successfully implement digital technologies in the work of the school library. This implies computer equipment in the school library, a quality network system rather than a classic website, that is regularly updated and contains online catalogs and an electronic build and offers opportunities in accordance with the web 2.0. The advanced usage of the web 2.0 makes the school librarian's job easier, offers them easier communication with its users (e.g. using social networks) and the advancement of library services in general. Furthermore, web 2.0 tools are mentioned that give traditional services a new, contemporary shape. In the paper, the pandemic is mentioned as a challenge for the school librarian in an online environment.
