Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to point out the fact that the reliability of information searched in online catalogs, databases and other sources of information by librarians participating in the „Ask Librarians“ project, in the Zagreb City Libraries, depends on quality of subject cataloguing and subject expert who designs subject headings. The paper presents statistics on the number of answered questions from the beginning of the „Ask librarians project" from 2004. to 2020. when there was a general closure of libraries (lockdown) caused by the pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2. The paper also presents a comparison of the syntax of complex subject headings in the Zagreb City Libraries and the National and University Library in Zagreb. A specific example describes the difference between searching for information through the Internet search engine Google and the subject headings as sources of information that are noted and classified by librarians in order to gather all relevant sources of information. According to the number of annually answered questions, there is a noticeable decrease in the answered questions in the „Ask librarians" project from 2010. until today. This can be attributed to the fact that a large number of questions have already been answered as well as the ability for users to browse and search the „Answered Questions” database (archive) and the „Links Database” that they search by categories. The result of the search by the subject headings is more clear and systematic than the result obtained by searching through the Internet search engine Google.
