Sažetak
Basic problem of developing academic and university library collections: their lack of connections within the university library system, collections that have not been evaluated and whose informational level at which they support curricula at the university is not known. Therefore, there is the need for qualitative collection evaluation which highlights the current disadvantages, benefits and strengths, as well as the defect in collection development.
This paper is presentation of Croatian Conspectus model which Z. Majstorović elaborated in her PhD thesis the base of which was RLG Conspectus model (from IFLA Guidelines).
The contribution of the Croatian Conspectus Model is in the qualitative evaluation of the collections: standardization in indicating the existing strengths and the future intentions in the creation of collections – better collection development, allowing librarians training through the evaluation process, helping in the development of connections with the academic and research staff at universities, and the results of the collection evaluation can be used at academic institutions for gaining accreditation by a foreign body.
