Uporaba splošne knjižnice in knjižničnega gradiva v času pandemije covida-19: študija primera

Habermut, Tajda (avtor), Merčun, Tanja (mentor)

Namen magistrskega dela je bil dobiti vpogled v vpliv pandemije covida-19 na uporabo splošne knjižnice in knjižničnega gradiva v Knjižnici Ksaverja Meška Slovenj Gradec. V raziskavi smo zajeli obdobje pandemije od marca 2020 do maja 2021. Opravljenih je bilo pet intervjujev s knjižničarkami in trinajst intervjujev z uporabniki omenjene knjižnice, pripravljena pa je bila tudi analiza statističnih podatkov o uporabi knjižnice in njenih storitev. Analiza statističnih podatkov je primerjala podatke za prvo leto pandemije s podatki za leto pred pandemijo in za drugo leto pandemije. Analiza zbranih podatkov je pokazala, da se je obisk knjižnice v prvem letu pandemije zmanjšal pri vseh kategorijah uporabnikov, na uporabo knjižnice pa je v prvem letu pandemije vplival tudi strah pred okužbo. Intervjuvanci so zaradi spremenjenega dostopa do gradiva v obravnavanem obdobju pogosteje uporabljali COBISS+ in mCOBISS. Starejši uporabniki so pogrešali pogovore o knjigah, glede izvajanja prireditev in dejavnosti pa so bili intervjuvanci mnenja, da bi lahko knjižnica v času pandemije še več dogodkov nadomestila prek Zooma in družbenih omrežij.

Izvleček

The aim of the master's thesis was to gain insight into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of the public library and library materials in the Ksaver Meško Library Slovenj Gradec. The study covered the period of the pandemic from March 2020 to May 2021. Five interviews were conducted with librarians and thirteen interviews with users of the library. An analysis of statistical data on the use of the library and its services was also prepared to compare data for the first year of the pandemic with data for the year before the pandemic and for the second year of the pandemic. The analysis of collected data showed that visits to the library decreased for all categories of users, and that the use of the library in the first year of the pandemic was affected by the fear of infection. Interviewees used COBISS+ and mCOBISS more often during the period under review due to the changed access to the material. Older users missed conversations about books, and regarding the implementation of events and activities, the interviewees were of the opinion that the library could have hosted even more events during the pandemic through Zoom and social networks.
