LARGEST DIGITAL MEDIA<br />
DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE AT LIBRARIES ACROSS SERBIA<br />
September 2007 – The Digital Press Reading Room is a project by Media Documentation Ebart, supported by the<br />
<strong>Telenor</strong> Foundation, within which electronic press documentation has been made available <strong>for</strong> free use at the<br />
largest libraries of Serbia. This documentation, interestingly named Current Archive, contains around 1.5 million<br />
newspaper articles starting with at the beginning of 2003, and up 48 hours ago, due to copyrights regulations. The<br />
archive consists of daily and weekly newspapers that are published nationally, as well as the most important local<br />
papers. You can access the Archive through the Ebart website www.arhiv.rs. It is classified in 12 clear displays, is fully<br />
searchable, and is updated daily with around 1,000 articles.<br />
The Reading Room project, which was launched in August 2007, covers 20 central libraries in Serbia – Užice,<br />
Sombor, Subotica, Kikinda, Zrenjanin, Sremska Mitrovica, Pančevo, Šabac, Valjevo, Jagodina, Smederevo, Niš,<br />
Kragujevac, Kruševac, Čačak, Kraljevo, Vranje, Leskovac, Zaječar and Bor. The aim of Ebart and the <strong>Telenor</strong><br />
Foundation was to make such a public service available to the largest possible population. Pursuing such an idea,<br />
in September <strong>2008</strong>, the <strong>Telenor</strong> Foundation extended financial assistance <strong>for</strong> the project <strong>for</strong> another six months,<br />
and Ebart decided to grant members of the public free access to TV news programs from the six top-rated television<br />
stations through its Video Archive during this period.<br />
In early 2005 Ebart launched a program of free access to the electronic press archive <strong>for</strong> libraries in Serbia, in<br />
cooperation with the National Library of Serbia, with the support of the Serbian Ministry of Culture. With the<br />
assistance of the <strong>Telenor</strong> Foundation this program was successfully continued in 2007, and talks are under way with<br />
representatives of the Ministry of Culture and Secretariat <strong>for</strong> Culture of Vojvodina to further expand it.<br />
