Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem Library Association

Abstract

The Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem Library Association is professional regional association that gathers librarians from all types of libraries in four counties: Osijek-Baranja, Vukovar-Srijem, Požega-Slavonia, and a part of Virovitica-Podravina. Since its foundation in 1975, the Association has been continuously working on the development of the profession and the gathering, encouragement and protection of its members. Professional activity was organized through professional and scientific conferences, lectures, round table discussions and workshops, as well as through regular gatherings at assemblies and co-operation with the Croatian Library Association. The Association also publishes a professional journal Knjižničarstvo (Librarianship), and in 2006 it established the Charter of Marija Malbaša awarded to the prominent members of the Association.
