Sažetak
This poster will present two methodological approaches to the appraisal of library film collections. First methodological approach is the appraisal of the library film collection diversity. Poster will draw attention to the possibility and need of using UNESCO methodology in appraising library film collections. Important reason for use of this methodology is that most important part of the libraries mission, acknowledged in their statutes, is to offer diverse cultural works to the users. But if we look for example at the library film collections in Croatia we will notice imbalance in favor of the recent Hollywood films. If libraries want to satisfy various (potential) users’ needs and interests they need to take care of the collection diversity for each type of the media that they collect. For that reason UNESCO methodology can be valuable to appraise diversity of their collections. Second methodological approach that will be presented is the appraisal of the library film collections by comparing library film collection with film canons or lists of the important films. In this work we will present canon definition and types, their relevance for appraising library film collections and we will give example of study in which this methodological approach was used. Methodology of “canonical comparison” enable appraisal of library film collection with regard to value or importance of films that are in the collection. However, because of the subjective aspect of value perception, attention will be drawn to the possibility and need of using various, sometimes mutually opposed canons, to appraise library film collection.
