By introducing the IFLA Library Reference Model, the significance of authority control is constantly increasing as authority data will play a key role in the linked data network. Consequently, the ...preparation of authority data will help when implementing IFLA LRM and will prove useful during the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access). The overview of authority data situation in the COBISS.net system with the focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system is presented. In addition to this, the options of further development of authority records are indicated. The situation in CONOR.SI and SGC authority databases as well as the enrichment of authority records for personal names and for corporate body names with identifiers are described. Additionally, plans for the transition to a new catalogue based on the IFLA LRM conceptual model are indicated.
The paper describes and emphasizes the importance of authority control for personal names in the development of library catalogues. The introductory part of the paper presents a historical overview ...of the development of authority control in world librarianship, the most important library conferences that dealt with this topic, as well as the way authority control functions in the world and in library-information systems operating on the COBISS platform. The paper also describes the entire process of creating the Montenegrin authority file of personal names, its importance for cataloguing and the development of universal bibliographic control and the Montenegrin library community. CONOR.CG is developed in accordance with the Guidelines for Authority Records and References (GARR), in the COMARC/A Format for Authorities Data. The format belongs to the COMARC family, as well as the format for bibliographic data COMARC/B on which the mutual catalogue COBIB.CG is based. The index of authority records is created by applying the national cataloguing rules PPIAK. Authority control of personal names in the COBISS.CG system, in which unique headings are used in Cyrillic and Latin letters, is based on the implemented standard model of bibliographic and authority records with parallel fields.
User experience is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the quality of services, products and even bibliographic information systems. Due to the lack of comprehensive research into user ...experience in bibliographic information systems, we developed a questionnaire, covering all key dimensions and aspects of user experience and taking into account the specificities of bibliographic information systems. The article presents findings about the user experience with COBISS+ and the tested questionnaire. The survey was conducted in the form of an online survey between 15 and 24 June 2020, in which 418 users of the COBISS+ library catalogue participated. The results showed that, on average, the experience of the participating users was positive, they felt satisfied and relaxed when using the system and mainly saw COBISS+ as useful, efficient, easy to learn, useful and practical. There were also some differences in experience depending on the purpose of use, previous experience with the system and the gender of the respondent. The consistency of the results obtained for different types of the same question and also for all three sets of questions indicates that the tested questionnaire is useful and appropriate and allows certain conclusions to be drawn despite the limitations of the study. The main limitation of the study is the sample obtained, where the majority of respondents are frequent and older COBISS+ users. The results provide an insight into the user experience in COBISS+ and present a starting point for further research. They also enable the evaluation and further improvements of the questionnaire.
Various studies have shown that low data quality in bibliographic and authority records is one of the main obstacles in data management. In order to evaluate and improve data quality in the Slovenian ...union bibliographic database (COBIB.SI), a pragmatic dimension-based data quality measurement and evaluation case study was carried out in 2019. The article presents the set-up and application of a methodological framework that was used for the definition and measurement of bibliographic and authority records quality in COBIB.SI. The results of the case study and the framework's applicability in data quality measurement and evaluation, as well as in data profiling that would benefit further development of COBISS + catalog, are also discussed.
The article presents activity of publishing scientific research papers, professional and other types of articles in the field of safety and health at work in the Republic of Slovenia in the period ...between 1991 and 2021. For the purposes of obtaining relevant data, we used the Slovenian library information system (COBISS). COBISS is intended for electronic management of bibliographies and the classification of works according to the UDK, which we processed with Office tools. The final goal of the paper is to present key findings about the scientific research and professional activity of the authors in the field of safety and health at work in the Republic of Slovenia. Through a bibliographic analysis with an emphasis on the typology of documents, we try to show the productivity of the authors in relation to their scientific, professional and other works in the field of safety and health at work.
Članak se bavi nastojanjem da se objave znanstveni članci, stručni i drugi članci iz područja sigurnosti i zaštite zdravlja na radu u Republici Sloveniji od 1991 do 2021. U svrhu dobivanja relevantnih podataka, korišten je slovenski informacijski sustav (COBISS). COBISS služi za elektroničko upravljanje bibliografijama i razvrstavanju radova prema UDK, obrađenih pomoću Office alata. Konačni je cilj članka predstaviti ključne rezultate znanstvenih istraživanja i stručnog rada autora iz područja sigurnosti i zaštite zdravlja na radu u Republici Sloveniji. Bibliografskom analizom s naglaskom na tipologiji dokumenata, pokušavamo prikazati produktivnost autora i njihov znanstveni, stručni i drugi rad na polju sigurnosti i zaštite zdravlja na radu.
This paper presents the Slovenian experience with monitoring bibliographic record growth and data quality in the COBIB.SI union bibliographic database. The data on the growth of the union database ...between 2014 and 2018 is shown. Apart from quantitative data, the activities within the framework of the system for assuring higher quality of the union database are presented. The data on monitoring the work of cataloguers – beginners both before and after acquiring the licence for shared cataloguing is shown. This includes the activity of simultaneous monitoring of bibliographic record quality with the emphasis on monitoring the quality of bibliographic records with shortcomings of the same type and monitoring the records of the so-called daily production. The initial individual approach later proved ineffective. Analyses of certain performed activities have shown that today more than 60% of detected errors are fixed on average. The responsiveness of cataloguers is high, and they have received the activities well. We notice that we are not only informing but also raising awareness e.g. on certain innovations or tools in the field of cataloguing. Based on growth analyses and trend monitoring it will be easier to plan possible database interventions, perform additional data analyses, plan new software updates and similar in the future. We hope our experience is welcome for all members of COBISS.net.
Research evaluation has become a large part of science and technology management. It is involved in the grants decision process and funds allocation as part of a broader research policy. Researchers’ ...bibliographies in Slovenia include the evaluation of bibliographic indicators of scientific performance according to the Slovenian Research Agency methodology for researchers, research groups, projects, programmes and organizations – all on the national level. This paper offers a short presentation of this evaluation methodology and its implementation based on actual data, with special emphasis on scientific articles and impact factors for journals and citations from the Web of Science and Scopus databases.
The library automatization in Bosnia and Herzegovina started in the early eighties of the last century, and in the 1988, 5 libraries have entered the COBISS system. From 1992. to 1998. the system was ...not active. In 1998, all public university libraries and other numerous libraries of Bosnia and Herzegovina have accepted COBISS. That year, the COBISS Center was established, whose role in 2005 was being taken over by the Virtual Library of B&H. The COBISS.BH system includes 61 libraries (national, public, faculty and special libraries). It aims to automate all work processes in the library and to follow the requirements of modern library science.
Ko se lotevamo raziskav in pisanja študij, si moramo pripraviti register, seznam, razvid o predmetu obravnave. V literarnovedni stroki proučujemo literarna in literarnovedna dela posameznih ...osebnosti, literarna obdobja, vrste literarnih del, posamezne literarne sestavine (tematsko-motivne značilnosti, strukturo literarnega dela, ubeseditvene načine, verzne oblike, sporočilnost, kompozicijske lastnosti itd.) in še marsikaj. Za raziskovanje inproučevanje potrebujemo natančen tloris, popis proučevanega predmeta. To nam omogoča bibliograŽfija, brez katere je preglednost našega dela manjša, poleg tega nas bibliografski popis opozori na prenekatero evolucijsko značilnost, na premore med literarnimi deli, spreminjanje koncepta pri nastajanju opusa, pogostost določenega pojava ipd.
Glede bibliografske podlage je bila moja vzornica Marja Borsnik. Iz bibliografij je izpeljevala monografske zasnove o Antonu Askercu, Franu Celestinu in Ivanu Tavcarju. Sestavila je Askercevo ...bibliografijo in jo objavila v 4. zvezku Casopisa za zgodovino in narodopisje leta 1935. Do tistega casa je bila to najpopolnejsa slovenska osebna bibliografija. Pripravila si je podrobno vsebinsko-podatkovno mrezo, na podlagi katere je raziskovala pesnikovo zivljenje in delo in iz cesar je nastala obsezna monografija Askerc: Zivljenje in delo (1939). Na podoben nacin je z bibliografijo Kazalo Celestinovega objavljenega dela (str. 317-326) zasnovala tudi monografijo Fran Celestin (1951), ki je izsla kot prvi zvezek zbirke Slavisticna knjiznica. Tretji avtor, ki mu je z bibliografijo tlakovala pot, je bil Ivan Tavcar, toda napisala je le prvi del monografije o njem z naslovom Ivan Tavcar: Leposlovni ustvarjalec, I: 1863-1893 (1973, tiskano 1974); bibliografija Kronoloski pregled prve polovice Tavcarjevih leposlovno- prosvetnih spisov (1863-1893) je objavljena na koncu knjige, str. 539-548. Nekoliko drugacno metodologijo je Borsnikova izbrala (morda zaradi okoliscin) pri Stanku Majcnu in njegovih dveh knjigah Izbranega dela (1967). Kot navdusen ucenec Antona Slodnjaka in Marje Borsnikove sem se v studentskih letih 1955-1956 lotil sestavljanja svoje prve bibliografije, in sicer o pripovedniku Ivu Sorliju, ki je takrat zivel v Kranju in prebival v pritlicnem stanovanju v Arnskovi hisi v Tomsicevi ulici. Seznanila sva se in veckrat sem ga obiskal. V meni je zorela morebitna studija, razprava ali vsaj clanek o tem zanimivem sodobniku moderne in njegovem pripovednistvu. Pisatelj mi je pomagal s podatki, spomini in nepoznanimi dejstvi o svojem delu. Del bibliografije - morda bi lahko rekli objektivni del - sem oblikoval s pozornim brskanjem po Ljubljanskem zvonu, Slovanu in drugi periodiki njegovega casa. A najdragocenejsa je bila priloznost, da sem podatke preverjal pri pisatelju in ga spraseval, kje je vse objavljal in pod katerimi imeni (psevdonimi, kriptonimi). Tu se je izkazala poglavitna koristnost neposrednega stika z avtorjem in bibliografija je bila blizu temu, da zajame vse ali vsaj veliko vecino objavljenega. Pri svojih letih je imel pisatelj svez spomin, zlasti se je to pokazalo, ko sva ugotavljala, kdo vse je pisal o njegovih knjigah, tako da sem zlahka dopolnjeval rubriko Ocene pod samostojnimi publikacijami. Pri tretjem delu z naslovom Prevodi mi je blagohotno priskocil na pomoc France Dobrovoljc in zadeva je bila pripravljena za tisk in za mojo studijsko obravnavo. Pisatelj je leta 1957 praznoval 80-letnico rojstva in revija Gorenjska (urednik je bil Milos Mikeln), ki se je zelela oddolziti Sorliju kot slovenskemu pisatelju in kranjskemu obcanu, je mojo bibliografijo objavila z opombo: »Pisatelj dr. Ivo Sorli je izpolnil 19. aprila t. l. osemdeset let. Vec kot eno desetletje je prezivel v Kranju kot notar in pozneje kot upokojenec (danes zivi v Ogulinu). Nasa revija se ga ob tem visokem jubileju spominja s tem, da priobcuje bibliografijo njegovih del.« Bibliografske mreze, ki sem si jo pripravil, nisem izrabil vse do leta 2000, ko sem v Kranjskem zborniku objavil obseznejso razpravo Kratko pripovednistvo Iva Sorlija, toda celosten pogled na njegovo pripovednistvo me se caka. Literarnovedne razprave, ki temeljijo na izcrpnih bibliografskih popisih, v slovenski literarni vedi niso ravno standardne. Zgled takega pristopa je Gregor Kocijan (1983, 1988, 1996, 1999, 2012) z analizami kratke pripovedne proze. Za skoraj stoletno obdobje od 1850 do 1941 je popisal okrog 13.000 naslovov kratke proze. V prvi knjigi je bila bibliografija sklepni, pomozni del monografije, potem pa se je osamosvojila v samostojno publikacijo, ki ji je cez leta (nazadnje je med bibliografijo in sintezo minilo 13 let) sledila sinteticna obravnava. Druga polovica zadnjega bibliografsko obvladanega obdobja (1930-1941) na sintezo se caka. Izjave o kratki prozi in njene definicije, oblikovane na podlagi kompletne produkcije, so veljavnejse in verodostojnejse od predhodnih, saj se ne omejujejo le na imena t. i. vidnejsih ustvarjalcev. Enakovredna obravnava mnozice besedil pogosto razkrije skonstruirani znacaj literarnozgodovinskih oznak, ki bi zelele posameznemu modelu pripisati vodilni ali osrednji pomen. Teznja po drugacnosti je v kratki prozi stalno prisotna in doloca tudi njeno poimenovanje: precej avtorjev je namesto standardnih imen (crtica, novela, povest itd.) v podnaslov zapisalo enkratne vrstne oznake. V moderni je bil odstotek vrstno nepoimenovanih kratkih pripovedi 65 %, med vojnama pa ze 84 %. Bibliografije kratke pripovedne proze po 1945 se ni, vendar bo pot do nje preko Cobissa domnevno lazja, kot je bila v preteklih desetletjih. Upanje za njeno kvantitativno analizo vzbuja prestevalni pristop, ki ga v zvezi s sodobno kratko prozo prakticira Alenka Zbogar (2013). Bibliografske podatke s pridom izkoriscajo bibliometricne raziskave literarnovednega podrocja v okviru bibliotekarstva, vcasih pa tudi na slovenistiki (Jamborovic idr. 1999, Miran Hladnik 2000, Mocnik 2005, Dukic 2009 in 2011, Perko 2010, Maja Perinovic 2012). Novost so bibliografije, ki se pred ocmi uporabnikov sproti dopolnjujejo na spletu. Taka sta bibliografija za raziskovalni projekt Prostor slovenske literarne kulture 2011-2013, ki ga vodi Marko Juvan (projekt tudi sicer temelji na zbirkah biografskih, geografskih in bibliografskih podatkov in jih soustvarja) in 2000 naslovov obsezni Seznam digitaliziranega leposlovja (Hladnik in Simonic 2012) s povezavami na polna besedila. Vecinoma gre za besedila pri projektu Slovenska leposlovna klasika na Wikiviru (2007-), ki se je ukvarjal s korigiranjem strojno prebranih besedil z dLiba, portala Internet Archive in drugih spletnih lokacij in ga je pet let zapored financiralo Ministrstvo za kulturo, vkljuceni pa so vanj tudi teksti iz drugih zbirk spletno dostopnega leposlovja: eZISS, AHLib oz. Digitalna knjiznica IMP, Zbirka slovenskih leposlovnih besedil, Beseda, Nova beseda itd. Stare bibliografije imamo za zdaj zgolj v obliki digitalnih posnetkov, po katerih ni mogoce iskati: Franc Simonic, Slovenska bibliografija (1550-1900), Janko Slebinger, Slovenska bibliografija za l. 1907-1912 in Niko Kuret, Slovenska knjiga: Seznam po stanju v prodaji dne 30. junija 1939.
