ZKD FORUM – PLATFORMA ZA EDUKACIJU, OSNAŽIVANJE I POVEZIVANJE KNJIŽNIČARA. (Serbian)

The Zagreb Library Association (ZLA) was founded almost 50 years ago and currently has more than 500 members. Activities of the ZLA varied over the years with an additional challenge – to be interesting to all, or at least to the majority of the members, and to connect members working in different types of libraries. The practice has shown that librarians lack a place where they can discuss the problems they face in their daily work, a place where they can follow professional trends, and enhance their professional knowledge. Since continuous professional development is one of the ZLA goals, the ZLA Forum was launched in 2019 as a special program for informal education and topics from the field of information sciences but also from other professions. The ZLA Forum has been originally conceived and launched by the ZLA and is continuously held in the form of lectures and/or workshops throughout the year. The ZLA Forum is intended for the entire library community, it is free for participants. Since it is in virtual form, members of other regional associations are increasingly involved in the ZLA Forum, as well as librarians from neighboring countries. It is also important to note that the ZLA Forum is organized by the members of the Zagreb Library Association. The ZLA Forum is constantly adapting and has undergone all forms, from physical and virtual to hybrid. The importance of the ZLA Forum is its adaptability and accessibility to all librarians, regardless of whether they are members of the ZLA or not. That was recognized by the Ljerka Markić-Čučuković Foundation, and the ZLA received an award for the year 2019, in the category in which the award is given to a library, institution, association, and individual who promote the library profession and librarianship in general. Twenty-eight ZLA Forums have been held since 2019, with 140 lecturers or panelists and 1700 participants. Through the ZLA Forum, librarians connect more with each other, and share and transfer knowledge, skills, and experience, thereby improving operations in their libraries. The ZLA Forum has significantly influenced Croatian librarianship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zagrebačko knjižničarsko društvo (ZKD) djeluje gotovo 50 godina i trenutno ima više od 500 članova. Tijekom godina mijenjale su se aktivnosti Društva, a pri njihovu osmišljavanju dodatan izazov bio je povezivanje velikog broja članova koji rade u različitim vrstama knjižnica. U praksi se pokazalo da knjižničarima nedostaje mjesto na kojem bi mogli raspraviti probleme s kojima se susreću u svakodnevnom radu, mjesto na kojem bi mogli pratiti trendove u struci kao i nadopunjavati svoja stručna znanja. Potreba za stalnim stručnim usavršavanjem jedan je od ciljeva ZKD-a, stoga je 2019. godine pokrenut program ZKD forum koji kroz neformalni oblik edukacije obrađuje teme iz područja informacijskih znanosti, ali i drugih struka primjerice, pedagogije, marketinga i sl. ZKD forum izvorno je osmislio i pokrenuo ZKD, a kontinuirano se u formi predavanja i/ili radionica 8 puta godišnje održava kroz kalendarsku godinu. ZKD forum je usmjeren cijeloj knjižničarskoj zajednici, besplatan je za sudionike, a od kad je u virtualnom obliku sve više su uključeni i članovi drugih regionalnih društava. Također, uspostavljena je i međunarodna suradnja sa susjednim državama. Važno je i istaknuti da ZKD forum organiziraju sami članovi Zagrebačkoga knjižničarskog društva. ZKD forum se prilagođavao i prošao je sve oblike, od fizičkog, virtualnog do hibridnog. Važnost ZKD foruma, njegovu prilagodljivost i dostupnost svim knjižničarima bez obzira jesu li članovi ZKD-a, ili ne, prepoznala je i Zaklada dr. Ljerke Markić-Čučuković te je ZKD dobio nagradu za 2019. godinu, u kategoriji u kojoj se nagrada dodjeljuje knjižnici, ustanovi, udruzi i pojedincu koji promiču knjižničarsku struku i knjižničarstvo općenito. Od 2019. do 2022. godine održano je 28 foruma, bilo je 140 predavača/ sudionika panela i 1.700 sudionika. Kroz ZKD forum knjižničari su više međusobno povezali, podijelili i prenijeli znanje, vještine i iskustvo te time unaprijedili poslovanje u svojim matičnim knjižnicama, a ZKD forum je ostavio značajan trag u knjižničarstvu Hrvatske.
