Retrospective Coversion and Retrospective Cataloging with Special Reference to Experience of the University Library "Svetozar Marković" in Belgrade

Abstract

A great deal of significant national and special
collections in libraries, as well as cultural legacy
of particular nation would remain hidden from
potential users unless respective data were converted
to electronic form or made accessible
through the Internet. It is necessary to process
such special collections, archival materials, old
and rare books and include them accessible online.
Development of IT society and science
development compels the requirement of end
users for accessibility to all important research
subjects, wherever they are seated whether in the
office, the library or at home.
