Donated Collection of Academician Berislav M. Berić

Abstract

The paper presents a biography and a professional library in the fields of medicine and obstetrics of Berislav M. Berić, which the Matica Srpska Library received as a donation in 2006. Berislav M. Berić was a respectable specialist physician in the field of gynecology and obstetrics and a university professor from Novi Sad who authored several textbooks and monographs published in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. He dealt with the issues of women's health, human reproduction and family planning, and published numerous scientific papers. Donated collection of Prof. Berić contains a large number of foreign editions that make this collection extremely valuable, as they are very often the only copies of these publications in our country, also indicating the professional interests of the owner of this collection. These are primarily professional publications such as textbooks, practicums, medical lexicons and dictionaries, as well as the collections of papers, press releases and summaries from professional meetings held in the country and abroad.
