1 DIGITALNA KNJIŽNICA IN SLOVENSKI VISOKOŠOLSKI PROSTOR Blaž Lesnik Brina Jerič Tanja Curhalek Martina Kerec Oddano: 06.01.2001 – Sprejeto: 14.05.2001 Strokovni članek UDK 02:004.738.52(497.4) Izvleček Digitalna knjižnica je termin za knjižnico sedanjosti in prihodnosti, ki je postala izziv tradicionalnim oblikam knjižničnega dela. Avtorje zanima predvsem slovenski digitalni prostor visokošolskih ustanov. V raziskavi so bile pregledane digitalne zbirke večine fakultet Univerze v Ljubljani ter na osnovi ankete pridobljeni podatki o uporabnikovih (študentovih) potrebah in seznanjenosti z digitalno knjižnico. Z ugotovitvami raziskave se pričakuje pozitiven vpliv digitalnih knjižnic na študij, iz rezultatov ankete pa spodbuda bibliotekarski stroki za nadaljnja raziskovanja. Anketa je bila izvedena konec leta 1999 na Filozofski fakulteti v Ljubljani (FF), v njej pa je sodelovalo 275 študentov FF. Rezultati so pokazali, da je študentom bibliotekarstva pojem digitalne knjižnice bližji in da ga pravilneje razumejo kot ostali študenti. Večina anketiranih študentov uporablja osebni računalnik pogosto in z veseljem. 71,1% študentov bibliotekarstva pozna izraz digitalna knjižnica, medtem ko je le-ta poznan samo 43,8% ostalih študentov. Večina anketiranih se je odločila za pravilno opredelitev pojma digitalne knjižnice (digitalna knjižnica je zbirka medsebojno povezanih sistemov in virov, dostopnih preko mreže), pri tem pa je po mnenju avtorjev šlo predvsem za ugibanje. V skladu z rezultati raziskave avtorji članka menijo, da se bo nadaljnji razvoj tudi v Sloveniji usmeril k izboljšavi izgradnje in k širši uporabi digitalnih knjižnic.

Authors are interested mostly in the digital space of Slovene academic instutions. In the research, the digital collections of most of the University of Ljubljana faculties are examined. A questionnaire was used to obtain information about the users' (students') needs and their acquaintance with the concept of the digital library. Two things were expected: the research was aimed at finding the positive effect of digital libraries on studies, and the questionnaire as an incentive in the library profession for further research. The questionnaire was made in the end of 1999 at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana (FF). It included 275 students of FF. The results showed that the students of librarianship had a better understanding of the term digital library than the students of other courses. A personal computer is used frequently and with pleasure by most questioned students. The term digital library is known to 71,1% of the students of librarianship, and only to 43,8% of others. Most of the students chose the correct definition of the digital library (the digital library is a collection of disparate systems and resources, accessible on the net), but that was, by the authors' opinion, mostly a lucky guess. According to the findings of the research, the authors believe that future development will improve and accelerate a wider use of digital libraries, in Slovenia as well.
