Abstract
Gruppo Interuniversitario per il Monitoraggio dei sistemi bibliotecari
di Ateneo (GIM) to organizacja międzyuczelniana, która od 2000 roku przeprowadza
regularne badania funkcjonalności włoskich bibliotek akademickich. Grupę
tworzą przedstawiciele 16 znaczących uczelni. Wyniki badań publikowane na stronie
internetowej organizacji stanowią swoistą bazę danych na temat funkcjonowania
współczesnych bibliotek akademickich we Włoszech oraz tendencji rozwojowych
włoskiego bibliotekarstwa, są też interesujące pod względem porównawczym. Celem
artykułu jest zreferowanie działalności grupy GIM na przestrzeni kilkunastu
lat, przedstawienie najważniejszych założeń projektu, prezentacja stosowanych metod
badawczych oraz ukazanie, w jaki sposób podejmowane inicjatywy wpisują się
w szerszy kontekst badań funkcjonalności bibliotek podejmowanych w całej Europie,
również w Polsce.
Gruppo Interuniversitario per il Monitoraggio dei sistemi bibliotecari di Ateneo (GIM) is an Italian intercollegiate organization that, since 2000, has been involved in conducting regular statistical studies related to the functionality and operability of Italian academic and research libraries. The group is composed of representatives from 16 outstanding Italian universities: Alma mater studiorum di Bologna, Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università degli studi dell’Insubria, Università degli studi di Ferrara, Università degli studi di Firenze, Università degli studi di Milano, Università degli studi di Milano Bicocca, Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Università degli studi di Padova, Università degli studi di Parma, Università degli studi di Pavia, Università degli studi di Perugia, Università degli studi di Sassari, Università degli studi di Siena and Università degli studi di Trento. The results of their studies are prepared in a report available on the internet web page of the GIM. The results are constantly validated in a database on the operation of present-day Italian academic libraries and thus deliver interesting data useful to formulate sustainable development objectives. The database provides comparative studies that make it possible to establish what the current developmental tendencies in the provision of library services are in the country and to indicate possible solutions to be taken in order to introduce further improvement in the field. This article attempts to provide an overview of the activity of the organization for the past several years and to present the most important premises of the project. Additionally, the article discusses the research methods used in Italy and shows how the initiatives undertaken currently fit in into a broader context of studies on the functionality of libraries in other countries in Europe, including Poland.
