M T 125 ORGANIZACIJA ZNANJA 2012, LETN. 17, ZV. 3 seminarjev in predavanj. Narodna knjižnica "Radislav Nikčević" v Jagodini je prepoznala možnost, da tudi vaške knjižnice prevzamejo aktivno vlogo pri oblikovanju sprememb v lokalni skupnosti. Potreba po modernizaciji kmetijske proizvodnje je ustvarila potrebo po posodobitvi vaških knjižnic. Narodna knjižnica "Radislav Nikčević" v Jagodini je v letu 2010 po vzoru sodobnih knjižnic razvila koncept sodobne vaške knjižnice in revitalizirala štiri vaške knjižnice v jagodinski občini s sredstvi neprofitne organizacije EIFL (Electronic Information for Library), ki podpira inovativne zamisli knjižničarjev v državah v razvoju. Posodobili so notranjost vaških knjižnic, kupili aktualne knjige, revije in literaturo s področja kmetijstva, uvedli Internet, poleg delavnic za otroke in literarnih večerov pa so v skladu s potrebami in interesi kmetovalcev organizirali tudi predavanja s področja kmetijstva. Za knjižničarje in kmetovalce organizirajo še usposabljanja s področja informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije. Cilj projekta AgroLib-Ja (Agricultural Libraries in Jagodina) je promocija vaških knjižnic kot informacijskih in komunikacijskih centrov lokalne skupnosti, ki poleg tradicionalnih knjižničnih storitev ponujajo kmetovalcem še pomoč, da hitro in učinkovito pridejo do želenih informacij o subvencijah in državnih projektih, do časopisov in olajšav v kmetijski proizvodnji ter da lahko preko spletne strani www.agrolib.rs/pijaca (trg AgroLib) kupujejo in prodajajo izdelke. Končni cilj projekta je izboljšati socialno-ekonomski položaj kmetovalcev. Po letu dni financiranja projekta AgroLib-Ja s sredstvi EIFL je Ministrstvo za kulturo in informiranje Republike Srbije prepoznalo pomen oživljanja vaških knjižnic in tako nadaljuje financiranje posameznih dejavnosti projekta. Ta prispevek želi prikazati, da je inovativen koncept dela v vaških knjižnicah dober model za izobraževanje in povezovanje kmetovalcev ter za agroživilsko industrijo in trženje. Prav tako si prizadeva prikazati, da lahko inovativni koncept dela v vaških knjižnicah, prilagojen potrebam lokalnih skupnosti, uporabljajo tudi druge knjižnice po svetu, kar bodo po enem letu pokazali knjižničarji iz Latvije, Litve in Makedonije, ki so projekt AgroLib-Ja prilagodili svojim potrebam in ga uresničujejo v svojih knjižnicah.

It also points out that these libraries do not keep pace with the development of library and information activities in Serbia and that among their users, similar to those in public libraries in cities, there is only a small number of farmers. Based on data from surveys and questionnaires to investigate the farming population of the village municipality Jagodina (Serbia), it was established that agricultural producers needed to undergo drastic changes. In Serbian villages, the majority of farmers do not have computers or Internet access, and due to poor economic situation they do not have the possibility to get any professional training, or to visit fairs, seminars and lectures. Public library "Radislav Nikčević" from Jagodina recognised the opportunity for a village library to play an active role in making a difference to the local community. The need for modernisation of agricultural production created a need to modernise libraries in a rural area. Influenced by the model of a modern library, the Public Library "Radislav Nikčević" in Jagodina created in 2010 the concept of a modern village library and revitalised four village libraries in the municipality of Jagodina thanks to the funding provided by the non-governmental organisation EIFL (Electronic Information for Library) which supports innovative ideas of librarians in the developing countries. The interior of these libraries was modernised, current and recently published general literature and literature on agriculture purchased, and the Internet set up. Workshops for children and literary evenings were organised, and, depending on the needs and interests of the farming population, organised as well were lectures on agriculture. In addition, ICT training was organised for both village librarians and farmers. The aim of the Agrolib-Ja (Agricultural Libraries in Jagodina) project was to promote village libraries as the information and communication centre of the local community, which, beside traditional library services, also quickly and efficiently provide assistance to farmers to get to the desired information on subsidies and state projects, as well as to newspapers and incentives on agricultural production. The www.agrolib.rs/pijaca (AgroLib Market) Website enables these farmers to buy and sell products online. The ultimate goal of the project, however, was to improve the social and economic status of farmers.
