Namen: Kulturna dediščina velja kot skupna presečna množica t.i. dediščinskih ustanov, knjižnic, arhivov in muzejev (KAM). Tematika povezovanja teh ustanov je v tujini že dolgo aktualna tema, ki jo ...spodbujajo različne družbene spremembe, pa tudi upravno – finančne tendence in odločitve kulturnih politik. Pri nas ta tema še ni raziskana, zato v prispevku želimo predvsem predstaviti mnenja odgovornih oseb, ugotoviti zatečeno stanje, kakšne so zaznane potrebe in kakšna priporočila bi lahko podali.
Metodologija /pristop: izvedli smo raziskavo, h kateri so bila povabljena vodstva vseh treh vrst ustanov od januarja do aprila 2022 v obliki polstrukturiranega poglobljenega intervjuja. Teoretično smo raziskavo umestili v širši sociološki model javne sfere, ki omogoča razumevanje sprememb ali odpora do sprememb KAM kot javnega prostora in ožje v teorijo organizacijskega učenja predvsem z vidika učenja med organizacijami na način absorbcijske sposobnosti ter sistemskega mišljenja ter jo opremili s tipologijo stopenj sodelovanja na lestvici kolaboracijskega kontinuuma. Raziskave se je udeležilo 19 od 26 povabljenih oseb.
Rezultati: Intervjuvanci imajo večinoma pozitivno mnenje o sodelovanju lastne ustanove z ostalima dvema disciplinama in izpostavljajo pozitivne učinke tovrstnih sodelovanj tudi v bodoče. Raziskava pokaže, da sodelovanja KAM potekajo na relativno površinski ravni in ostajajo na začetnih stopnjah sodelovalnega kontinuuma. Skozi pogovore se izpostavljajo določene sistemske in konkretne ovire ter še neizkoriščene priložnosti.
Omejitve raziskave: raziskava predstavlja začetni impulz v relativno novi raziskovalni temi, ki posledično odpira številna nova vprašanja vsaj na področju izobraževanja kadrov, digitalnih vsebin in obdelave gradiv, česar se v pričujoči raziskavi ne lotevamo.
Izvirnost / uporabnost raziskave: v našem okolju je možnost KAM sodelovanj še relativno neznana, niti ni naklonjenosti vladnih politik v obliki morebitnih spodbud denimo za povezovalne projekte, ki bi iniciativam poglobljene dediščinske dejavnosti na nivoju skupne KAM omogočala pridobitev dodatnih sredstev ali nudila drugo ustrezno obliko podpore.
ABSTRACTAmong the set goals of improving book consumption in Slovenia the National Culture Program 2004-2007 also includes encouraging the development of network of bookshops and ‘quality’ bookshops, ...that will be evenly distributed across Slovenia. The program suggests them to be formed within the framework of already existing public cultural institutions. Book consumption in Slovenia has been characterised by poorly developed retail book market and well developed network of public libraries with a high number of book lendings that serves as a substitute for the paperback market as it is known in bigger language communities abroad. Along with surveying the possibilities of directing the libraries towards book marketing (as well), the paper also examines the historical development of commercial publishing companies / bookshops / libraries, existing in Europe in 18th and 19th century and in some places existing side by side with public libraries until the middle of 20th century. The paper shows that the present ratio between bookshops and libraries on some big book markets is different than in Slovenia, as libraries are loosing patrons as a consequence of the growth of big bookshop chains. A characteristic feature of book consumption in Slovenia can be seen in the use of the internet in libraries as well as bookshops. The ‘merging’ of the marketing segment and book lending is to a smaller extent already under way abroad, where large online bookshops encourage libraries by means of provision to act as the mediator in the sale of books. In this way, a library can turn into a bookshop with the help of connections via ISBN numbers, without having to jeopardise their original mission.
ABSTRACTThe use of books in Slovenia is marked with an insufficient bookstore network andwith a well developed network of public libraries with a large number of loans that supplements a market of ...cheap paperback books, which is known in large language communities abroad. The resolution on National Program for Culture among the set goals for the improvement of use of books in Slovenia states also encouragement to develop bookstore network, equally divided across the entire Slovenian cultural area, with which the formation of bookstore corners in the framework of already existing public cultural institutions is proposed. From 2003, Ministry of Culture is supporting the good bookstores, but the endeavors haven’t reached the set goals yet. This contribution brings theoretical presumptions of principal thinking on the possibility of directing the libraries in the direction of marketing the books and the findings of a survey conducted among the directors of Slovenian general libraries. The findings show the predominant directors’ opinion on principal usefulness of potential sale of booksin libraries, especially for the users. Almost a half of the managers of all Slovenian public libraries in principle support the introduction of book sale in their library if proper conditions would have been set. However, they do not expect any financial benefit from this service.
