Sažetak
The way in which the librarians understand the concept of a "library neutrality" can have an important impact on the availability of diverse works in a library. In this article, two concepts with opposite understandings of a "library neutrality" will be presented: passive library neutrality and active library neutrality. The main purpose of this article is to draw attention to the issue of "library neutrality" in developing, maintaining and promoting of diverse library collections and to give incentive for the research of various aspects of that topic. Important inspiration for considerations in this article came from the article written by prof. Buckland: Five Grand Challenges for Library Research. Therefore, relevant parts of that article will be presented. The last six years prof. Aparac-Jelušić was mentor of the author of this article and in that role she had a beneficial influence regarding the author's development of interest for various research topics including the topic presented in this article. Some remarks about that will be given as an introduction.
