What is so special in a special library?
Ivana Faletar
Abstract
Human Rights Center Library is special in many ways – firstly because of the collection, but also because all services are free of charge for all users. HRC’s library is different from other libraries because it is financed mostly through projects on national and international level. Due to continuous engagement of volunteers and cooperation with various NGOs, institutions and other libraries and as a response to users’ expressed and future needs, new services have been developed. They were also designed to help users engage and take on a more active role in the society.
Finally, this paper will give an overview of past activities and an analysis of users, concluding with the strategic plan.
