The Univerzitetska biblioteka "Svetozar Markovic" ( Serbian - Cyrillic Универзитетска библиотека "Светозар Марковић" ) is the central library within the system of the University of Belgrade Libraries. It is named after Svetozar Marković , a 19th century political activist. It is the second largest library in Belgrade after the Serbian National Library .
It is a Carnegie library built with the financial resources of businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie . Belgrade was one of the first three European cities to have a Carnegie library, the others being Reims and Leuven . This university library is the only Carnegie library in Central and Eastern Europe.
Belgrade University Library is the largest university library in this country and has 1.5 million books. It is the central library of the University of Belgrade, but also serves as the basis for all other Serbian university libraries. The library is also known as the National Library because of the large Serbian collection, and it also contains a large number of international scientific collections.
The library was founded in 1921 and is the successor to the Belgrade University Library from 1844. It has been housed in the current building since 1926.
education
Until 2002, the Department of Science Information and Education trained individual users, but since that year the department has started organized user training in the form of group training, presentations, readings, interactive workshops, etc. The first group training was organized within the TEMPUS project and the target group was University librarians from the Organization of the Serbian Academic Library Association . Numerous workshops and readings on topics that were tailored to the interests and needs of the users were held within the library association. Since 2014 there has been an accredited course “Information formation in libraries: commercial and non-commercial electronic information sources”. These workshops contribute to the assessment of the librarians and thus to a further development of the entire subject.
Interlibrary loan
The tendencies in the development of modern library science are that the future user of a library in the country becomes the user of all public libraries in the world at the same time. Thanks to interlibrary loan, which has to follow the latest trends in the modern information society and which is relying more and more on the electronic form of communication, the process of getting the necessary and correct information has been shortened considerably. This makes you lose the feeling that the sources of the information you need are far away.
The purpose of interlibrary loan is primarily to meet users' needs and requests for information and sources from various fields of art, science and culture. It is of the utmost importance to understand the needs of the users and to adapt them to the dynamics of the information service. A change in expectations, requirements and general types of users also influenced distance lending in the university library, which nowadays is a link between classical and digital lending, thus representing the two-sided nature of modern libraries.
