Nabavna politika priporočenega študijskega gradiva v Centralni medicinski knjižnici v študijskih letih 2017/2018 in 2022/2023.

Purpose: Collection development is considered one of the key processes by which libraries fulfil their mission. We were interested in the extent to which, in the academic years 2017/2018 and 2022/2023, the Central Medical Library of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana (CMK) took into account the course syllabi for the compulsory subjects when purchasing teaching materials, and what the availability and percentage of coverage of the prescribed teaching materials were in the aforementioned academic years. Methodology/approach: In both academic years, we analysed the course syllabi recommendations by the academic staff for the compulsory subjects in the two programs of the Integrated Master's Course at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana. We analysed the CMK catalogue, where we checked how many units of the prescribed study material it contained, and calculated the percentage of availability and target coverage. Results: In the two studied academic years, on average, 82% of the titles of the prescribed study material were available, while the CMK provided the target coverage in only 23% of cases on average. We did not find significant changes in availability and coverage between the two years compared, although on average more than a third of the study literature was prescribed anew in 2022/2023. Originality/practical implications: The results of our analysis on the case of CMK show that it is reasonable to include the coverage and availability of the prescribed teaching materials among the criteria for the selection of library materials, and thus to improve the library's collection.

Namen: Nabavna politika knjižnic je eden izmed temeljnih procesov, s katerimi knjižnice uresničujejo svoje poslanstvo. Zanimalo nas je, v kolikšni meri je Centralna medicinska knjižnica (CMK) v študijskih letih 2017/2018 in 2022/2023 pri nabavi študijskega gradiva upoštevala priporočila nosilcev obveznih predmetov ter kakšne so bile razpoložljivosti in deleži ciljne pokritosti priporočenega študijskega gradiva v omenjenih študijskih letih. Metodologija/pristop: V obeh omenjenih študijskih letih smo pregledali priporočila nosilcev osnovnih predmetov na obeh programih enovitega magistrskega študija Medicinske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani (UL MF) in knjižnični katalog CMK, v katerem smo preverili, koliko enot priporočenega študijskega gradiva je vseboval, ter izračunali deleže razpoložljivosti in ciljne pokritosti. Rezultati: V obeh preučevanih študijskih letih je bilo v povprečju na voljo 82 % naslovov priporočenega študijskega gradiva, ciljno pokritost pa je CMK v povprečju zagotavljala le v 23 % primerov. Bistvenih sprememb v razpoložljivosti in pokritosti med primerjanima letoma nismo ugotovili, čeprav je bila povprečno več kot tretjina študijskega gradiva v študijskem letu 2022/2023 priporočena na novo. Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Rezultati naše analize na primeru CMK kažejo, da je med merila za nabavo knjižničnega gradiva smiselno uvrstiti tudi pokritost in razpoložljivost naslovov priporočenega študijskega gradiva ter tako izboljšati nabavno politiko knjižnice.
