In 1901, the Slovenian newspapers Slovenec and Slovenski narod uniformly reported on the fight for the Slovenian university, although they represented two different political options and were too many times biased in their reporting on current issues. At times, they were even very offensive towards the leaders of the opposition party. The most controversial thing in the fight for the local university was the desire of Italians to establish an Italian university in Trieste. Slovenian students and intellectuals who claimed that Trieste was not even an Italian city and, therefore, did not need its own university expressed strong opposition against such establishment. On the other hand, they backed up the establishment of the University of Ljubljana stating that over two million Slovenes and Croats lived in the monarchy, whereas the number of Italians did not even exceed 730,000. On 8 November 1901 in Vienna, Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian students sent a memorandum, which outlined the reasons why the university in Ljubljana should be established, to the Rector of the University of Vienna. During the period of the Habsburg Monarchy, the Slovenes, however, failed to get their university. Only after the First World War and the collapse of the Danubian Monarchy, the university was finally established on 23 July 1919.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1945, the Decree on Mandatory Delivery of Printed Matters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Decree on the National Library of Federal Bosnia and Herzegovina were passed, which laid the legal foundations for creating a Bibliography of Bosniaca. Later in B&H, following the foundation of the B&H Library Association in 1955, the first B&H librarianship journal, the Bulletin of the B&H Library Association and the National Library of the People's Republic of B&H was launched, where the journal was first renamed to Librarianship: Journal of the B&H Library Association and then to Librarianship: Yearbook of the B&H Library Association.
The paper reviews, with some historical distance, the circumstances leading to the VMS operating system becoming the basis for developing and implementing the COBISS national shared bibliographic system.
Musicology is in danger of becoming an "orchid-like profession" with no significant role in understanding the spirit of the time because it has remained too concerned with the glorification of the 19th century’s Eurocentric composers. What we need is comparative musicology to capture all the complexity of music – the phenomenon that is deeply implanted in our consciousness and is present in many areas of human life, such as cults, politics, medical treatment, work and law.
Through a brief summary of the history and structure of Bulgarian librarianship, the paper reveals how the library community has been gradually integrated into the international COBISS.Net network. Presented are the very beginnings of the librarianship and its subsequent expansion in the independent Bulgaria.
Imperial and Royal Marine Library (K. u. K. MarineBibliothek) was founded in 1802 in Venice. In 1848, the Library was first moved to Trieste and then in 1865 to Pula where it remained in operation until 1918. Under the Italian government, part of the library’s collection was taken to Italy; under the German occupation, however, the library’s collection was first moved to the present-day Bohemia and then in 1949 to Vienna.
The history of culture is a unique anticipation of future information society, from which it is evident that a sudden, revolutionary leap into a new civilization is improbable and is only wishful thinking on the part of those left behind.
