Uporabniki in uporaba domoznanske zbirke na primeru Knjižnice Domžale : magistrsko delo

Zavrl, Barbara (author), Merčun, Tanja (mentor)

Domoznanska dejavnost predstavlja pomemben vidik delovanja splošnih knjižnic, saj omogoča dostop do informacij o lokalnem okolju. Za učinkovito načrtovanje teh storitev je ključno poznavanje uporabnikov in njihovih potreb. Namen magistrske naloge je bil preučiti uporabnike in uporabo domoznanske zbirke Knjižnice Domžale: kdo so uporabniki, katero gradivo uporabljajo, s kakšnim namenom ter kakšne predloge imajo za izboljšanje domoznanske dejavnosti. Raziskava, izvedena med novembrom 2023 in majem 2025, je vključevala anketo med 109 uporabniki knjižnice, intervjuje z uporabniki in neuporabniki domoznanske zbirke ter analizo statističnih podatkov o izposoji gradiva iz domoznanske zbirke. Rezultati so pokazali, da je najpogosteje uporabljeno gradivo domoznanskih avtorjev, zbirko pa uporablja raznolika skupina uporabnikov za različne namene: prosti čas, raziskovanje, delo, šolske naloge in študij. Z intervjuji smo dobili vpogled v načine uporabe zbirke, udeleženci pa so podali tudi različne predloge za izboljšanje domoznanske dejavnosti, med katerimi izstopa večja promocija v širši lokalni skupnosti. Na podlagi anket in intervjujev smo oblikovali pet profilov tipičnih uporabnikov (person). Ugotovitve raziskave omogočajo vpogled v značilnosti uporabnikov domoznanske zbirke Knjižnice Domžale ter dajejo izhodišča za nadaljnji razvoj in načrtovanje storitev na področju domoznanske dejavnosti.

• Title: Users and Use of Local History Collection in the Case of the Domžale Library

Abstract

Local history programs are an important aspect of the work of public libraries, as they provide access to information about the local environment. However, effective planning of these services requires a thorough understanding of users and their needs. The purpose of this master's thesis was to study the users and use of the local history collection of the Domžale Library: who the users are, what materials they use, for what purpose, and what suggestions they have for improving local history activities. The research, conducted between November 2023 and May 2025, included a survey of 109 library users, interviews with users and non-users of the local history collection, and an analysis of statistical data on the borrowing of materials from the local history collection. The results showed that the most frequently used materials are those by local history authors, and that the collection is used by a diverse group of users for various purposes: leisure, research, work, school and student assignments. The interviews provided an insight into how the collection is used, and the participants also made various suggestions for improving local history activities, among which greater promotion in the wider local community stands out. Based on the surveys and interviews, we created five profiles of typical users (personas). The findings of the research provide insight into the characteristics of users of the Domžale Library's local history collection and provide a starting point for further development and planning of services in the field of local history activities.
