The Historical Journey of the Library of the Institute of Archaeology in Belgrade through the Work of Librarian
Summary
This paper discusses the historical development of the Library of the Institute of Archaeology in Belgrade through the
work of its librarians. The Library is a specialized research library designed for researchers at the Institute. It is one of
the largest special libraries in the region, with literature in the fields of archaeology, history, art history, architecture,
anthropology, and other related sciences. From its foundation to the present day, Library’s work and development
have been marked by its employees. The paper describes the formation and work tasks of the Library in the first part
and the transition from a card catalogue to a local electronic catalogue in the second part. A new development in the
Library’s work is establishing the RAI repository and the ongoing transition from WINISIS to the COBISS catalogue.
