Monitoringo tyrimai – baltarusiškų ir užsienio periodikos bei tęstinių leidinių formavimo pagrindas Baltarusijos nacionalinės mokslų akademijos centrinėje mokslinėje Jakubo Kolaso bibliotekoje

Abstract

The Jakub Kolas Central Science Library of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus has a vast experience in the research of the library holdings. Research of library objects can be effective only when it is comprehensive and constandy supervised. Monitoring allows to systematically supervise library work, to analyze library procedures and operations, to be alert to their changes, to predict their development and to forestall any negative tendencies. Library monitoring differs from the usual library research. Monitoring is both a standard evaluation of objects and situations and a flow of information which is processed by a standard set of indicators. Starting 1990, the Department of Scientific Organization of Main Stock has been implementing a yearly monitoring of the composition and the usage of the collection of Belarusian and foreign periodicals and serials. The article discusses the methods of monitoring and the achieved results.
