Abstract
In 2009 the City Library of Rijeka has implemented the integrated library system ZaKi, in order to merge and coordinate all the work procedures and services: acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, searching, producing statistical reports, etc. From 2010 till today, as part of its duties of the Central Commission for Libraries in the county, the Library has been working intensely on the project of developing a unique public and school library system of the Primorsko-goranska County. The project has been approved by the Primorsko-goranska County and is annually cofinanced as a part of the County public needs program. The Library coordinates and provides professional support to two parallel processes: the first is the informatization of library work and services in school libraries through implementing the ZaKi system and the data migration from the old program, and the second is the implementation of the ZaKi system into all County public libraries. Starting with the common integrated program as the basis, the aim of this project is to create a county library system, that is, a functionally connected network of public and school libraries, in order to achieve efficient functioning of each individual library and the system as a whole. The paper describes the methodology and the chronology of carrying out the above-described project.
