The first half-century of the Croatian Library Association as a book publisher : series, editors in chief and editorial boards

Provedeno je istraživanje kako bi se dao pregled nizova, glavnih urednika i uredničkih odbora nizova knjiga koje je Hrvatsko knjižničarsko društvo objavilo od 1966. do 2016. godine. Analizirane su promjene naziva nizova, promjene glavnih urednika i uredničkih odbora te korištena terminologija u izvještajima glavnih urednika i u drugim dokumentima HKD-a. Cilj je rada raščistiti terminološke nedoumice, prikazati profiliranje nizova te napraviti popis svih članova uredničkih odbora i glavnih urednika po godinama i nizovima koje su uređivali. Podaci su prikupljeni izravnim uvidom u podatke objavljene u publikacijama te analizom sadržaja skupštinskih izvještaja glavnih urednika i drugih dokumenata.The paper gives an overview of series, editors in chief and editorial boards of all the series published by the Croatian Library Association from 1966 to 2016. Changes of book serial titles are analyzed, as well as names of editors in chief and members of editorial boards. Terminology used in the editors’ annual reports and other Association’s documents is also analyzed. The aim of the paper is to clarify the terminological dilemmas and inconsistencies, present the development and profiling of the series, and create a list of all members of the editorial boards and editors in chief with the corresponding data on the periods and series they served as editors. The data were collected using the method of content analysis of the editors’ annual reports and other Association’s documents, and analyzing the data printed in the books. Based on the results, conclusions have been made about the role and importance of publishing activities of the Croatian Library Association and some suggestions have been offered for the future changes in editorial and publishing practices
