A number of factors, such as the development of information technologies, the exponent growth of knowledge, globalisation as a world-wide process and university reform, rapidly transformed contemporary academic libraries and made them become information centres that enable access to a broad spectrum of knowledge resources and information objects. As such the libraries with their highly qualified and specialised staff have become partners in learning and scientific research processes of the academic community. At the turn of 21st century, in most unfavourable material and staff conditions libraries at the University of Montenegro soon started to understand what their role in these changed conditions was. At their own initiative and without any interest and support of the academic community, they took their first steps towards ensuring basic human and technical resources in order to transform into modern library and information centres. The reorganisation of the University and staff changes put an end to all this. Libraries have once again found themselves in a marginal position, and the system continues to decentralise and disintegrate.

      Ksenija Rivo, Maja Žumer

        Foreign research reports low use of mobile devices for reading e-texts among students, so we investigated mobile reading behaviour among UL students. Since the results of the online survey showed that low use of mobile devices for reading e-texts is also characteristic of UL students, we wanted to investigate in more detail the reasons and barriers to the use of mobile devices for reading e-texts.

        Professional self-confidence in reading literacy promotion

        Sabina Fras Popović

          Participation in professional events in the fields of reading literacy and reading culture has a positive impact on boosting professional self-confidence. The available data reflects the accessibility of professional events for the promotion of reading literacy and reading culture in Slovenia. Practitioners attend such training, but at the same time, they doubt their competence to encourage and plan the development of reading literacy and reading culture.

            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.

            Kristina Feldvari, Izabel Zdravčević, Martina Glumac

              Teaching and learning how to organize information effectively is a complex process both for educators and students. Cataloguing, which is defined as the process of organizing information by making bibliographic records, is the established procedure for achieving the goal mentioned. Learning the process of cataloguing can be difficult for students because they must become familiar with a large amount of new and complex contents.

                Eva Kodrič-Dačić

                  The amendments to the Librarianship Act in 2015 redefined the status of school libraries and assigned new tasks associated with the monitoring of the activities and development of school libraries to the National and University Library (NUL). The statistical monitoring of activities performed by school libraries, the designing of the school library development strategy, the concept of three-year development plans and the development of regulations on the conditions to be met by school libraries in the field of education are among the new activities of the Library System Development Centre, NUL.
