Résumé / Abstract

Comparing the traditional and modern functions and duties of the public library, the present conditions, structure and development of the library collections in public libraries are discussed. Based on the contrary approaches to the public library as the traditional keepers of the national identity and culture and the modern understanding of their role as open libraries, securing a possibly broad availability of publications, as stated in the London declaration of 1982 and in the IFLA programmes, the different approaches to building of the public libraries' collections are pointed out. To give a description of the present conditions, the traditional barriers are analysed: the public libraries' status and position in the society, legal statement, relationship between the public libraries and school libraries, relationship between the publishers and public libraries and the financing to the public libraries. In addition, the new problems are also analysed; the consequences of the war and the war damages, the library materials relating to the democratic changes in the Republic Croatia, the publishing crisis, etc. At the end of the article a need for a collections' renewal, changes in the collection policies in the public libraries are discussed. These changes shoulf be made according to the new fuctions and assignents of the public libraries as open public learning centres, corresponding to the modern requests of users as well in the matter of different subjects and kinds of materials and according to the needs of special users: children, hadicapped persons, older people, users in hospitals and prisons and the members of national minorities
