Sažetak
The Law on Libraries and The Ordinance on Library Commissions regulate Central Library Commission with the purpose of ensuring continual and systematic development and advancement for the entire Croatian library system. National and University library in Zagreb as well as the other university libraries in Croatia receive no additional funding for their activities within the Commission but they do their best to fulfill the legal obligation, including: professional training and development of library staff, professional advice for the libraries; coordination and improvement of library services (Article 31, Law on Libraries). Libraries within the Commission’s domain are parts of their parent institutions (thus have no legal personality) and for that reason they face various difficulties: their institutions are funded through different ministries, in majority of institutions libraries are not registered in the Court Register of the Republic of Croatia (they are not mentioned in their parent institutions’ statutes), standards that govern these libraries are outdated, professional advancement is difficult or impossible, the amount of non-traditional library work is increasing and taking precedence over traditional library work. It is important to mention that the traditional library work for which the librarians now have less time (especially the solo librarians) is also a subject to the financial legislative and may be subjected to the National Audit, meaning that they may face repercussions if the that work is not properly done.
