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 purpose of the article is to present the experience of foreign countries using the example of corporate cataloging in the organizational model of unifying libraries in the common library and ...information system COBISS and to analyze the characteristics and trends of the development of the corporate electronic catalog of this region. The methodological base of the research is based on the application of a complex of general scientific methods, including analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis, and generalization. Scientific novelty. The organizational and functional aspects of corporate cataloging in the region of the Western Balkans, which were practically not covered in the Ukrainian librarianship literature, were considered and analyzed. Conclusions.The COBISS library and information system made it possible to unify the libraries of neighboring countries through the management of corporate cataloging, ordering and maintenance of common databases, and the use of a single toolkit in user service. After joining corporate cataloging, 25% of new records are created by library specialists when working with local electronic catalogs of individual libraries, and 75% of records arecopied, which indicates the efficiency of the system, significant saving of time and financial resources. Catalogers and scientists pay considerable attention to quality control of entered bibliographic records. Acquaintance with experience in the field of corporate cataloging of other countries can be useful when developing the concept and implementation of these processes in the network of Ukrainian libraries.
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.

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.
