Sažetak
The legacies of private libraries of distinguished people are often witnesses of cultural history of a city, a region or a wider area in which it was made. When organizing and processing the legacy, it is necessary to preserve the wholesomeness and distinctiveness of the collection, to highlight it’s native and heritage value. One of the possibilities is the notation of data about the history of the volume, provenance, in the catalog description. The aim is to research how the physical traces of the previous owner of books in the book catalogs are noted, and is it possible for the library catalog to gather data on the collection and to keep notes of it’s previous owners. The paper examines research on the use of data regarding provenance in the catalog records for the special collection, on the practical examples in the City and University Library in Osijek, on the legacies of Rudolfo Franjin Magjer and Viktor D. Sonnenfeld. The possibilities of processing the legacies, which belong to the integrated librarian CROLIST system, are examined. The importance of catalog description in discovering information on former owners of the collection and the importance of the uniqueness of the collection, gathered in the library catalog will be demonstrated. Physical traces of former owners in books, aside from shelves, are gathered in the catalog as well, and that has provided the users with much help in research. Through such a way of processing, the accessibility to catalog records in the local database is made possible, the accessibility to the data is improved, the management within the institution is also improved, the creation of specialized donor bibliographies is enabled, and the inclusion of dana regarding heritage fund is also made possible, on a European, as well as global level.
