Abstract
Influenced by the information and communication technology, the library card filing cabinets in museum libraries are being replaced by OPAC and WebPAC. The Internet has become a new medium for wider presentation of museum libraries and their holdings.
Following this tendency, the library of the Museum of Slavonia decided to make its unique local history collection of books accessible to the wider public through a web catalogue. The bibliography of the collection is published in the first volume of Maria Malbaša’s Osječka bibliografija (Osijek Bibliography). One of essential goals of the online catalogue of the Essekiana collection is to present its local history books to the community and raise awareness of the value of the books kept in the biggest museum library in Croatia.
The Museum of Slavonia is the only museum of a general type in Croatia that made its local history collection available thorough an online catalogue published on the museum web site.
