Read the new issue of NSK’s journal, “The Voice of NSK”
The 22nd issue of the official journal of the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK), The Voice of NSK, brings an overview of the Library’s programmes, projects and achievements in 2025 as a major cultural and research institution in Croatia. Available in both print and electronic formats, with summaries in English, it has been published as part of the celebration of NSK Day 2026.
The highlight of the issue is the project aimed at the implementation of the Alma library services platform and the Primo VE discovery service and the related setting up of the Bukinet cloud-based platform. The issue details this historic undertaking and one of the vital segments of the digital transformation of the Croatian national library system which NSK has been tasked with as part of the e-Universities project, now linking together NSK and 82 other Croatian academic libraries in a unified network.
Its modern, interoperable and sustainable infrastructure represents the basis for further developing library services and providing stronger learning and research support.
Major publishing undertakings, cooperation initiatives, conferences, projects, exhibitions…
The publication of the Incunabula Croatica monograph, documenting the findings of the decades of extensive research into Croatia’s earliest printed books and their relevance in the context of European cultural heritage, is also given prominence in the issue as one of the Library’s significant accomplishments in 2025.
Also, the journal’s latest issue also brings an interview with a Fellow of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Anica Nazor, Croatia’s first lady when it comes to philology and early Slavic and Croatian languages, their literatures and related cultures.
In addition to presenting NSK’s activities last year related to open science, international cooperation initiatives and the participation of its staff in European professional networks, the issue also looks back at the Library’s major 2025 events, conferences and programmes focusing on the preservation and interpretation of Croatian heritage, of which its programmes organised as part of the national celebration of 1,100 years of the Kingdom of Croatia, the Marginalia, in the focus exhibition and the From Pittsburgh with love: Music and written heritage of Croatian emigrants project particularly stand out.
