The history of printing and book publication in Bjelovar-Bilogorje District has not been sufficiently studied and evaluated. The few published papers on this topic represent only a scant review of ...the matter and provide no explanation as to the role of the periodicals, in particular journals and newspapers, in the overall development of the town of Bjelovar and the District.It strikes one as particularly odd how little writing has been devoted to the first Bjelovar weekly newspaper, Tjednik bjelovarsko-križevački.Our paper is an overview of the facts on the beginning of its publication, the makeup of the editorial board and the editors in chief, the contents, genres, columns, circulation, distribution, popularisation and layout. The range of topics covered, the overall atmosphere and the wide scope of the social life covered by the newspaper shed light on its influence on the development of literacy and the culture of reading, and on its role in the cultural, educational and political life of the town and the region in the late 19th and early 20th century.A special reason for writing this text resides in the fact that in the absence of other source material Tjednik bjelovarsko-križevački is an important tool in the study of the local history.The chief study sources were the complete annual editions of Tjednik stored in the National University Library. Bibliographic sources and material were consulted regarding the development of printing and the publication of periodicals. The theoretical starting points were found in the works of Josip Horvat, Božidar Novak, Srećko Lipovčan, Ivanka Kuić, Ivo Perić, Vjekoslav Maštrović and others.The paper utilises the historic and comparative methods, and the methods of compilation, description, analysis and synthesis.The first regionally distributed weeklies were commonly published by local printers with businesses set up in the district centres. An enormous breakthrough in the development of publishing and printing in Bjelovar was made by Adolf Kolesar whose printing outfit opened in 1885. Soon after the outfit opened for business, he started publishing the first newspaper bearing the title Tjednik bjelovarsko-križevački: newspaper for education, economy, social and public life. The first issue came out 1 November 1890, marking the beginning of the development of periodicals in Bjelovar and the District. Adolf Kolesar furnished the technical base for the onset of newspaper publishing in Bjelovar, but the major creators of the content of Tjednik were the long-standing members of the editorial board and reputed columnists, Professor Gustav Fleischer, and solicitor and politician Milan Rojc. Literature, so far published on this matter, stresses that Tjednik ranked among the best regional papers of its time.The paper started out by publishing only the news, curios, items of educational and didactic content, reviews, short stories, sports news and advertisements. Its ambition was to cover matters of interest and reach the readers of the entire Bjelovar-Križevci District, but it had no particular political ambitions.In 1907 the owner and the editorial board changed and the paper became a political bulletin for the Croatian-Serbian coalition, with greater emphasis on the state, political, communal, social and economic matters, important in the life of the District. The last issue came out 30 August 1919, after which date the name was changed to Demokratski glas and the publication became the bulletin for the Yugoslav Democratic Party. In 1924 the paper resumed the old name, Tjednik, but survived only a short time.The research for this paper was greatly impeded by a scantiness of sources, as there are only very few copies of Tjednik preserved in the State Archives and the Bjelovar Town Museum, whereas the Petar Preradović Library in Bjelovar does not own a single copy. Furthermore, there was the matter of reliability of the information found in literature, as it is sometimes incomplete or only partially accurate.The article aims to shed some light on the social and political role of Tjednik and on its information and communication aspects. The study of the contents of Tjednik provided in this article hopes to facilitate further research in the history of the town and the District.

The paper portrays the printer, publisher and bookseller Lavoslav Weiss, who lived and worked in Bjelovar between 1903 and 1918. This was a period when the city underwent democratisation and ...modernisation, and when the bourgeois class grew stronger. Hence, the demand for books, journals, newspapers, and printed publications in general increased. The paper confirms that Weiss knew the right way to respond to this demand, and that he thus played an exceptionally important role in the cultural, social, economic and political life of the city

Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati bazu poveznica virtualnih knjižnica koju su oblikovali školski knjižničari, ukazati na važnost školskih knjižnica u e-učenju i korištenju novih tehnologija u obrazovanju ...te ulogu školske knjižnice u tome procesu.
Pristup/metodologija. U radu je kratka analiza virtualnih knjižnica koje su dostu- pne na repozitoriju školskoga knjižničarstva UDK02 te je napravljena svojevrsna takso- nomija sadržaja, odnosno popis zastupljenih tema i podtema, ali i digitalnih alata koje su koristili školski knjižničari.
Rezultati. Na repozitoriju hrvatskoga knjižničarstva UDK02 nalaze se poveznice za 243 virtualne knjižnice. Od toga su 183 knjižnice osnovnih škola, a 60 srednjih škola.
Praktična primjena. Objedinjavanjem svih virtualnih knjižnica na jednome mjestu omogućuje se knjižničarima, ali i svim ostalim korisnicima, dostupnost velikoga broja različitih informacija. Osim toga, ta stranica može biti početak jedne zajedničke stranice za sve knjižničare.
Ograničenja. Potrebno je stalno ažurirati virtualnu stranicu knjižnice i provjeravati poveznice jer neke poveznice više nisu dostupne, ali, isto tako, postavljati i vlastite materijale.
Društveni značaj. Pandemija uzrokovana bolesti COVID-19 imala je ogroman utje- caj na društvo u cjelini, a školski su knjižničari virtualnim knjižnicama nastojali smanji- ti/ublažiti sve elemente negativnog utjecaja. Nastavili su biti potpora odgojno-obrazov- nome procesu tako što su upućivali na građu za učenje i poučavanje dostupnu online.
Originalnost. U radu su predstavljena kvalitetna rješenja školskih knjižničara u pružanju usluga svojim korisnicima tijekom pandemije izazvane bolesti COVID-19 i zatvaranja knjižnica na nacionalnoj razini. Rad upućuje i na važnost vidljivosti školske knjižnice te na njezinu važnost kao podrške odgojno-obrazovnoga procesa. Osim toga, kratka analiza upućuje i na mogućnosti poboljšanja i daljnjega razvoja.
Bjelovar’s libraries and reading rooms in the beginning of the 20th century were of particularly notable social and cultural significance. At that time there were large changes in librarianship that ...were connected with the so called Public Libraries Movement. The work of the libraries that functioned in the 19th century continued and their task was expanded. Apart from the promotion of national, patriotic ideas and Croatian literature, libraries are engaged in the education of the wider classes of society. This is manifested in the work of the oldest and the most significant reading room that developed from the officer’s casino. The Reading Room changed its name in 1906 to the Croatian Reading Room. In the same year due to social and political circumstances of that period, the Serbian Reading Room separated from the main reading room and began with its own work. There is also a Library of Jewish Civil Society. The foundation of public libraries in Bjelovar such as the Croatian Public Library and the Croatian Public Library “Preradović” was an enormous effort. It was backed by branches of the Croatian Society for Public Education, students and academically educated citizens associated in “The Croat”Academic Ferial Club. Public libraries interceded for the cultural transformation of people, and the forms of their activities were literacy courses, lectures, amusement evenings, and private and general problem discussions. In particular the function of public libraries was their cooperation with schools and similar institutions. They included the countryside population, and their members collected books by themselves (gifts, donations or other libraries stocks – duplicates). Bjelovar’s press was directly involved in the foundation of public libraries and the functioning of the other libraries and reading rooms. That is why in Bjelovar’s periodicals (Independence, Bjelovarsko-Križevački Weekly) of this time, there were regular noted openings of new libraries and articles of their importance were being published, and the editorship was involved in the activities of book collecting and admittance of new members. Bjelovar’s libraries created under the influence of the public library movement had been functioning for a short time but their influence is significant for the entire Bjelovar librarianship and for the functioning of the library of Croatian Educational Craftsmen and Workers’ Society Golub. In the future, this library will support the education of the worker, craftsmen and merchant classes in Bjelovar.
