Sažetak
This paper deals with a topic analysis of papers presented at the Bobcatsss conferences from 2015 to 2020. The corpus for this research was gathered from conference proceedings and includes only paper presentations and excludes posters, workshops, pecha-kucha, etc. Sample consists of 232 collected papers. Content analysis was done by using a classification scheme for library & information sciences compiled by Muˇcnjak and Zrni ´c (2018) (adapted from Järvelin and Vakkari (1990)). Content analysis. i.e. indexing was applied only on titles and was done by both authors individually. After the indexing of all 232 titles, results were gathered in topical clusters, created using a proposed classification scheme. The aim of the paper is to explore the distribution of the topics presented at the Bobcatsss conference and compare them against the topics gathered around this years’ main theme: digital transformation. This analysis will explore in more details all papers found dealing with digital content, digitalization, information and communication technology, etc. In order to see if and how BOBCATSSS papers correspond to trends recognized in other relevant conferences in past five years in the field of library & information sciences, this paper will give a brief overview of main themes of most relevant conferences in the LIS field (e.g. IFLA WLIC, ALA Annual Conference, ASIS&T Annual Meeting, etc.) Research questions are as followed: 1. Which areas are most represented within the papers presented at the BOBCATSSS conferences from 2015 till 2020? ; 2. How are topics in the area of digital transformation represented in BOBCATSSS conferences from 2015 till 2020? 3. Is BOBCATSSS following trends in relevant topics in the field of library & information sciences?
