Among many literary terms found in the Lexicon Latinum (1742) by Andrija Jambrešić and Franjo Sušnik (auctor and scriptor — book writer; impressio — printing; libellus — booklet; typographeum — print ...house; typographia — to know how to set and print letters etc.) we can also find the term libellarium — bookcase, bookshelf, for keeping different letters and papers. This descriptive definition of libellarium sums up all the three areas this journal is dedicated to — the history of the writting, the history of books, and the history of memory institutions, which is the reason why this term was selected as the name of the journal.The main aims of Libellarium are motivating and promoting the research of the history of the written word, books and heritage institutions. The Croatian written and printed heritage offers infinite possibilities of research using the most current research methodology, which has not been applied in earlier research. The editorial board of Libellarium therefore invites research papers that will throw more light on the Croatian written and printed heritage, as well as papers that will promote research in line with the prevailing and the most current research paradigms. Such a blend of source and methodology is supposed to improve research methods, increase the interest in investigating the history of the written word, books and heritage institutions, and eventually result in their establishment as modern scientific disciplines in Croatian scholarship.This especially refers to the history of books, which has, in the past 50 years (starting with the pioneering book by Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin L’Apparition du livre published in 1958) evolved as a discrete scientific discipline with a developed research methodology that leans on the achievements of the history of literature, history in the narrow sense, cultural anthropology, sociology, librarianship, and many other sciences. There is only a handful of research papers from Croatia published in the past few years which follow, but also critically examine, the authors such as Robert Darnton, Roger Chartier, Paul Saenger, and other prominent scholars, as the modern research methodology has still not been sufficiently applied in humanities and social sciences research in Croatia. The editorial board of Libellarium wishes, on the one hand, to motivate modern research such as the interaction between the book and the reader, preparation of the manuscript or the printed text for the reader, appropriation methods, etc., and on the other, motivate the examination of the whole corpus of original sources for the history of (especially Croatian) books, as well as the interplay of social, cultural, intelectual, economic, legal and political circumstances that provided the conditions for the production, distribution and appropriation of texts, i.e. work that would establish firm foundations for future research.In line with this orientation, the first issue of Libellarium brings papers devoted to two issues. The papers by Aleksandar Stipčević, Željko Vegh and Slavko Harni present some of the possible sources for the history of books: private library inventories, records of canonical visitations and bibliographies. The papers by Jelena Lakuš, Maja Krtalić, Zorka Renić and Tatjana Kreštan examine the social circumstances of reading, librarianship and periodical publishing: preconditions for reading in Dalmatian reading societies in the early 19th century, the possibilities of publishers’ advertisements in newspapers from Osijek in the late 19th century, and the context of publishing local weekly journal (Tjednik bjelovarsko-križevački) in the late 19th and early 20th century. The paper by Andy White on the modern digital environment and the return of the age-old idea of a universal library may seem to be different from the two prevailing strands in other papers in this issue, but it also focuses on the examination of the general social and technological framework that accentuates this idea in certain historical periods.In addition to publishing research papers, Libellarium will also publish reprints of sources for the history of books. In this issue, following the paper by Slavko Harni, we bring the bibliography Književnost bosanska by Ivan Franjo Jukić.Finally, following the tradition of research journals, Libellarium will also publish reviews of important works on the history of the written word, books and heritage institutions.

Ciljevi su rada analizirati suodnose suvremenog društva i nakladnika koji tvore okvir mogućnosti nakladničkog posredovanja knjiških sadržaja. Riječ je o naslijeđenom obilju knjiga koje se neprekidno ...povećava, o svjetonazorskoj cenzuri koja svjedoči o projekcijama društvenih vrijednosti u naslijeđeno knjiško obilje, o ulozi IT tvrtki koje su pokrenule revoluciju u distribuciji knjige, ali su prouzročile nove probleme u području autorskih prava i, naposljetku, o samom nakladniku koji je i dalje ključni jamac kvalitete objavljenog sadržaja. Rad se temelji na sadržajnoj analizi suvremene literature s područja nakladničkih studija, novinskih tekstova i komentara te statističkih izvješća. Inovativni doprinos rada ponajprije čini razrada svjetonazorske cenzure iz teorijske perspektive istraživanja čitateljskih navika, potom razrada pozitivnih i negativnih posljedica uključivanja IT tvrtki u proizvodnju i distribuciju knjiga i isticanje vrijednosti tradicionalne uloge nakladnika bez koje autorska kreativnost ostaje nevidljiva, ne-objavljena, doslovce ne-javna.
This paper aims to analyse the relationship between contemporary society and the publishing industry that provides a framework of possibilities of book content mediation. Four aspects are considered: the plenitude of books; censorship imposed by society or associations onto these books; the role of IT companies that started a revolution in content distribution but at the same time jeopardised intellectual property rights and, finally; the position of the publisher as the remaining sole patron of content quality. The paper is based on the content analysis of recent academic research in publishing studies as well as insights into contemporary statistics and media reports. The paper contributes to book and media research by exploring censorship imposed by certain social groups based on modern research into reading habits, observations of the positive and negative impacts of IT companies on the publishing industry and the status of authors and intellectual property and, lastly, emphasizing the role of publishers as content managers, since without them the creativity of authors remains non-public, literally invisible.
Introduction: The point of departure for this paper is the twofold analogy (analogy of content, analogy of medium) between printed and electronic books, the aim being to draw attention to the usual ...perception of their capacities and relationships, to provide a rather detailed analysis of the outcome and sustainability of such analogies and ultimately to indicate the drawbacks involved. Method: The contextual analysis of contents of the key themes is employed; in the articulation of the conclusions, analytic and synthetic approaches are used. Results: The definitions of the e-book are not consensual or sustainable, rather reflect the current developmental phase of the phenomenon. The emphasis is placed upon changes, and continuity is ignored, and it is not seen that the possibility of analogies derives from a long historical development. While the analogy of content is sustainable, for it implies the reproduction of the same discourses in different media, analogy of medium is not, for the interactive capacities permitted by the printed and the electronic medium are different. Conclusions: The e-book discourse has to be expanded by understandings drawn from cognate areas such as book history, publishing studies and in general by those from the extremely useful insights employed in the cultural-historical approach, for all the media functioning in any given period coexist and affect each other.
This paper analyses book dedications in a specific genre, religious writing, in a linguistically small and peripheral region of the Habsburg Empire, endeavouring thereby to open up new comparative ...perspectives in the understanding of the system of patronage. After a review of the most frequent problems encompassed by recent research, the specific features of the concrete original research corpus are elaborated, with an emphasis on problems hitherto less investigated: the correlation of the dedication and other paratextual parts of the book; the practice of dedicating works to saints of the Catholic Church, which relativises the understanding of the dedication as a form of the exchange of authorial work for material benefits; and the functionalisation of the name of the patron, which enables the creation of the concept of the patron function. The analysis supports the understanding of patronage as a dynamic system that rested upon the human interactions possible in the given and specific spatial and temporal contexts.

Cilj. Cilj je rada istražiti i predstaviti temeljna obilježja hrvatskog nakladništva tijekom 1990-ih godina s posebnim osvrtom na ondašnje državno-političke promjene i ekonomske izazove te ih ...usporediti s trendovima na razvijenim svjetskim nakladničkim tržištima. Metodologija. U radu je analizirana dostupna relevantna literatura, dostupna izvorna građa te su provedeni intervjui s nakladnicima i knjižarima aktivnima u to doba. Izvorna građa obuhvaća dokumentaciju Državnog zavoda za statistiku i Izvješća o obavljenoj reviziji pretvorbe i privatizacije pri Državnom uredu za reviziju. Rezultati. Usporedba hrvatskog s razvijenim inozemnim nakladničkim tržištima u navedenom razdoblju ukazuje na goleme razlike. Hrvatski nakladnici u to doba prolaze kroz izazove pretvorbe i privatizacije, a globalni nakladnički izazovi 1990-ih, poput digitalizacije poslovanja, padaju u drugi plan. Prema mišljenjima intervjuiranih nakladnika i knjižara, neriješeni problemi iz tog razdoblja (pr. urušavanje knjižarske mreže) uvelike utječu i na današnje nakladničko tržište. Analiza dokumenata i provedenih intervjua usto je ukazala na smanjenje opsega nakladničke djelatnosti i istaknula druge probleme promatranog razdoblja (pr. uvođenje PDV-a na knjigu, pad kupovne moći i sl.). Ograničenja. Ograničenja proizlaze iz mogućnosti analize izvornih materijala, koji daju tek okvirnu sliku o stanju u ondašnjem hrvatskom nakladništvu. Vrijednost. Problematika stvaranja hrvatskog nakladništva i knjižarstva slabo je istražena, stoga je rad u mnogim aspektima inovativan nudeći spoznaje koje mogu potaknuti daljnje istraživanje tog problema. Članak se temelji na istraživanju provedenom za potrebe doktorskog rada „Poslovanje nakladnika u kriznim razdobljima: Hrvatsko nakladništvo od 1990. do 2020.“ pod vodstvom prof. dr. sc. Zorana Velagića. Disertacija je obranjena 18. 9. 2023. na Sveučilištu u Zadru.
The aim of this paper is to investigate and present concepts of the author and his/her copyright work in copyright legislation that entered into force in Croatia from 1846 to 2007. 17 legal documents ...(acts, corrigenda, amendments) were investigated using the content analysis method. The analysis of the results gives an insight into various cultural and sociological dimensions of authorship in the given time-frame. Special attention was paid to definitions of the author and his/her copyright work, examples of copyright works and exceptions related to the duration of copyright for different kinds of copyright works. As there had been no systematic overview of such legal documents in the available literature, they were briefly described in the first part of the paper, highlighting the important articles that stress the role of authors and their copyright work. In the analysis and summary we provide a systematic overview of the main concepts, with a special review of copyright laws in relation to new technologies and artistic forms: it is their relationship that testifies to the complexity of the term 'copyright work'. The paper shows that the basic perception of the author, his/her copyright works and their relations in the analysed copyright legislation has not changed significantly during this period of time. All legal documents refer to the examples of copyright work, and in 1957 a definition of copyright work was included, according to which copyright work is every spiritual (later referred to as intellectual) creation. The concept of the author is strongly linked with the concept of author's copyright work. Various examples of copyright works allow us to see the difference between works that are permanent (e.g. literary works, music works, art works) and works that are yet to be protected by copyright thanks to the development of technology and new features of artistic expression (e.g. photography, movies, computer programs). The process of getting copyright is reflected in articles that regulate the duration of copyright.
This paper gives an outline of e-book business in Croatia, another European small language market, based on surveys of seven mayor e-book distributors conducted in February 2013 and February 2014. ...The research included collecting web catalogues by various e-book distributors and an interview with their representatives, asking them to confirm the established number of e-books. After data collection, researchers analysed and presented the exact number of unique e-book titles, publisher’s participation, types of e-book formats and their prices. The findings show that there are 1.654 unique e-book titles by 55 publishers currently available on seven main platforms, the most popular e-book format is EPUB (55%), while the average retail price is EUR 5,86.
Cilj. Ciljevi su rada istražiti i analizirati podatke o nabavnoj politici visokoškolskih knjižnica s obzirom na e-knjige, o zadovoljstvu knjižničara u poslovanju s bazama i dobavljačima e-knjiga, o ...problemima s kojima se pritom susreću te o utjecaju pandemije bolesti COVID-19 na nabavu i korištenje e-knjiga. Dodatni je cilj pojasniti razloge spore integracije e-knjiga u zbirke hrvatskih visokoškolskih knjižnica.
Pristup / metodologija. Za istraživanje je korišten upitnik izrađen u aplikaciji LimeSurvey koji je distribuiran na elektronske adrese voditelja hrvatskih visokoškolskih knjižnica. Korišteni upitnik osmišljen je u sklopu projekta kojim su istraživači sa Sveučilišta u Boråsu i Göteborgu istraživali utjecaj e-knjige na švedsko nakladništvo, knjižarstvo i knjižničarstvo. Nakon Švedske, upitnik je primijenjen u Litvi i naposljetku u Hrvatskoj. Rezultati su kvantitativno analizirani, dok je pri njihovu tumačenju korištena komparativna metoda kako bi se usporedili rezultati provedenog istraživanja s rezultatima predstavljenima u literaturi.
Rezultati. Temeljna spoznaja proistekla iz provedenog istraživanja jest da hrvatske visokoškolske knjižnice samostalno ne nabavljaju e-knjige, osim u jednom slučaju, ali da imaju iskustvo njihova korištenja, bilo kroz pretplate na baze podataka, bilo kroz korištenje naslova dostupnih u otvorenom pristupu. Nasuprot tome, trajna kupnja e-knjiga za zbirku dominantan je ili uvelike zastupljen model na usporedivim tržištima, stoga su u zaključku analizirani mogući uzroci takve razlike.
Ograničenja. Jedino ograničenje proizlazi iz spoznaje da samo jedna knjižnica samostalno nabavlja e-knjige od nakladnika. Stoga rezultati koji se odnose na politiku nabave građe nisu reprezentativni.
Originalnost / vrijednost. Ovo je prvi rad koji detaljnije istražuje i pokušava pojasniti razmjere integracije e-knjiga u zbirke hrvatskih visokoškolskih knjižnica. Među važnijim su doprinosima naputci za model idealnog sustava posudbe e-knjiga koji proizlazi iz preporuka samih knjižničara (npr. dostupnost građe na jedinstvenoj platformi, uklanjanje DRM ograničenja i slično) i završne preporuke za funkcionalniji sustav nabave i organizacije poslovanja s e-knjigama koje proizlaze iz analize dostupne recentne literature i stanja na usporedivim tržištima.
Different models of scientific communication are becoming more universal and the opportunities of publishing are more numerous and sophisticated. This study analyzed the category "Food Science & ...Technology" in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database to determine how many journals are currently in it, how many journals are in several scientific categories, how many journals are published by commercial and by non-commercial publishers, what are the publishing models of each journal, journal impact factor (IF) and quartile - Q. The analysis of the publishing models and quartiles in which the journal is located showed that IF and the reputation of the journal are more important to scientists for publishing the results than the publishing policy. The interdisciplinarity of the field was determined through different WoS categories because the journals were included in 25 other categories in addition to the “Food Science & Technology” category.
