Implementation of good practice

Publications on gender equality developed by Social Innovation Fund were added to e-catalogue of Kaunas County Public Library (http://katalogas.kvb.lt:8880/, http://193.219.170.81:8880/). This is one of the largest libraries in Central Lithuania. Employees from Cataloguing department of the library prepared the bibliographical record of all publications having ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and added to the e-catalogue of the respective library. Today all those publications are available for the clients of the library to be ordered upon their requests.

The client can search any publication in e-catalogue by entering the name of the author, title of publication or any keyword, ISBN or choosing other criteria:

These publications can be also accessed by clients of Lithuanian National Martynas Mazvydas Library as it was obligatory for the publishing company to submit one copy of the publication to this library.

Social Innovation Fund’s publications catalogued within the libraries became accessible for wider group of interested users. Remark: more than one copy of each publication should be included into the e-catalogue of each library as one copy is reserved as archival and can be used by library clients only in the premises of the library.

At the moment 7 Social Innovation Fund’s publications on Gender Equality are available at Kaunas County Public Library:

Libraries where publications that are kept and made available for their clients are great dissemination tool especially taking into account that the library staffs is very competent and help their clients to find and use any publication they are looking for.
