The importance of preserving graphic collections in libraries: Graphic collection of the City and University Library Osijek

Grafička zbirka Gradske i sveučilišne knjižnice Osijek dio je, kako sadržajem, tako i formatom šarolike Zavičajne zbirke unutar koje se pohranjuju, digitaliziraju te katalogiziraju (u analognom i digitalnom formatu), osim omeđenih i serijskih publikacija, sitni tisak, audio-vizualna građa, note i grafike (kartografska građa, grafike, fotografije, plakati i razglednice). Digitalizacija grafičke zbirke polazište je za daljnje prikupljanje i organizaciju vrijednih grafika, kartografske građe i sitnog tiska zavičajne vrijednosti te za umrežavanje s ostalim knjižnicama kao i drugim informacijskim ustanovama s ciljem cjelovitog prikaza grafičkog stvaralaštva pohranjenog u fundusu zavičajnih zbirki te popularizaciju i zaštitu ove vrijedne vrste građe. U radu je istaknut značaj ove vrste građe u informacijskih ustanovama, kao i važnost njene identifikacije, organizacije, očuvanja i prezentacije. Rad predstavlja osnovu za daljnja istraživanja o metodama identifikacije i zastupljenosti pojedinih grafičkih tehnika koje su jedno od prvih polazišta za prikupljanje metapodataka, kako za formalnu i sadržajnu obradu građe, tako i za organizaciju digitalnih zbirki. Rad donosi uvid u stanje grafičke zbirke Gradske i sveučilišne knjižnice Osijek, metode predstavljanja grafičke građe široj javnosti i njezinu vrijednost u zajednici.The City and University Library Osijek’s print collection, in terms of content and format, is a part of the diverse Local collection. All the visual resources are stored, digitize and catalogised (both analog and digital format). Apart from monographic resources and serial publications, Local collection is composed of small print and graphics (cartographic and visual resources such as graphics, photographs, posters and postcards). Digitization of the print collection provides foundation for further acquisition and organization of valuable graphic and cartographic resources of local value as well as for developing and maintaining collaboration with other libraries and other cultural institutions. The main objective of this process is a comprehensive display of graphic creativity stored in the fund of local collections and the popularization and preservation of the rare material. The paper highlights the importance of including this type of material in information institutions and it highlights the importance of identification, organization, preservation and presentation of the graphic resources. The paper lays the foundation for further research on the methods of graphic techniques identification, which is one of the first starting points for collecting metadata both for the subject and content analysis as well as the organization of digital collections. The paper provides an insight into Osijek City and University Library Osijek’s print collection, methods of presenting graphic materials to the general public and its value in the community

Arbitrarily primed PCR to type Vibrio spp. pathogenic for shrimp.

International audienceA molecular typing study on Vibrio strains implicated in shrimp disease outbreaks in New Caledonia and Japan was conducted by using AP-PCR (arbitrarily primed PCR). It allowed rapid identification of isolates at the genospecies level and studies of infraspecific population structures of epidemiological interest. Clusters identified within the species Vibrio penaeicida were related to their area of origin, allowing discrimination between Japanese and New Caledonian isolates, as well as between those from two different bays in New Caledonia separated by only 50 km. Other subclusters of New Caledonian V. penaeicida isolates could be identified, but it was not possible to link those differences to accurate epidemiological features. This contribution of AP-PCR to the study of vibriosis in penaeid shrimps demonstrates its high discriminating power and the relevance of the epidemiological information provided. This approach would contribute to better knowledge of the ecology of Vibrio spp. and their implication in shrimp disease in aquaculture
