Sažetak
The role of the research libraries is to support research activities of their parent institution by providing patrons with relevant information. Furthermore, research libraries are involved in the evaluation process of the institution, LIS projects, activities regarding development of new services, promotion of new trends, and user education as well. As no library can provide access to all the materials or manage all activities alone, there is a long history of collaboration between libraries. The information society has emphasized the necessity of collaboration, and it is even more important when the research is dedicated to a particular scientific discipline like aquatic and marine science. Therefore, in the late ‘80s, European aquatic and marine science libraries and information centres gathered together in Plymouth, where The European Association of Aquatic Sciences Libraries and Information Centres (EURASLIC) was founded as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas relevant to aquatic sciences in Europe. The following activities are among EURASLIC main goals: undertaking joint projects and improvement of the flow, exchange, and dissemination of aquatic information. Valuable collections available at EURASLIC libraries are at disposal to the whole community. Although it seems that everything is available online, interlibrary loan is still one of the most significant activities, enabling libraries to provide requested material free of charge to the patrons. EURASLIC libraries are also involved in depositing records in AquaDocs repository and are very active as input centers by providing data for ASFA, including newly launched system OpenASFA. EURASLIC publishes several publications, among them are Newsletter, Conference Proceedings, and Leaflet that is available in five languages and regularly updated. The regular conferences of the association are held biannually at different members’ institutions and different countries. EURASLIC conferences provide a sense of community, being usually the starting point for sharing ideas. Above all, they connect members through time and distance by forming everlasting friendships. Good cooperation is established with other similar associations and organizations.
