Sažetak
The goal of this paper is to present the results of a research on practice and methods of library materials preservation in Croatian school libraries. The research was conducted in June 2013 on the sample of 92 school libraries. The results have shown that most libraries are highly motivated to provide continuous care and preserve the library materials, but the biggest problems lay in practical carrying out of these activities due to the lack of financial means and expert knowledge. The library materials preservation is an integral part of managing all libraries, and the school ones, too, but the scope and the methods of preservation should be in accordance with the specific characteristics of school libraries. The goal of preservation activities in school libraries is to ensure long-term use of library materials in accordance with the need of supporting school curriculum. Besides, school libraries have a very important role in organizing and preserving the so-called heritage collections, which are created as a result of the pupils’ work in curricular and extracurricular activities, whether they are on paper or some sort of digital format. Carrying out the library materials preservation activities through a number of direct and indirect measures school libraries ensure future use of their holdings, but at the same time send a message to their users and raises awareness of the importance of preserving the individual and collective heritage.
