Sažetak
The City and University Library Osijek’s print collection, in terms of content and format, is a part of the diverse Local collection. All the visual resources are stored, digitize and catalogised (both analog and digital format). Apart from monographic resources and serial publications, Local collection is composed of
small print and graphics (cartographic and visual resources such as graphics, photographs, posters and postcards).
Digitization of the print collection provides foundation for further acquisition and organization of valuable graphic and cartographic resources of local value as well as for developing and maintaining collaboration with other libraries and other cultural institutions. The main objective of this process is a comprehensive display of graphic creativity stored in the fund of local collections and the popularization and preservation of the rare material.
The paper highlights the importance of including this type of material in information institutions and it highlights the importance of identification, organization, preservation and presentation of the graphic resources. The paper lays the foundation for further research on the methods of graphic techniques identification, which is one of the first starting points for collecting metadata both for the subject and content analysis as well as the organization of digital collections.
The paper provides an insight into Osijek City and University Library Osijek’s print collection, methods of presenting graphic materials to the general public and its value in the community.
