Rad postavlja teorijsko konceptualni okvir u kojem definira osnovne pojmove te objašnjava teoriju i praksu queera. Nadalje, donosi pregled literature o dosadašnjim istraživanjima iz ovog područja te podastire zakonske i stručne okvire putem kojih se jača tolerancija u društvu kroz prizmu izgradnje zbirki u narodnim knjižnicama. Korištene metode su metoda usporedbe (checklist method) na osnovi core literature sastavljene od srane eksparata iz ovog područja i intervju s voditeljicama Odjela za nabavu u knjižnici. Rezultati pokazuju da je zastupljenost nedostatna.This study deals with the representation of queer literature in public libraries and the goal is to examine the extent to queer literature represented in the collections of the Public Library in Zadar, Public Library Marko Marulić in Split and the Public Library Juraj Šižgorić in Šibenik .
