| Abstract: | The Matica Srpska, a society for cultural promotion, was founded in 1826 in Budapest. In the society, a gallery, a publishing house, a library, and a museum were formed. The Matica Srpska Library (MSL) was moved to Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, in 1864. The Library is one of eight Yugoslav national libraries serving as depository libraries. MSL is well known for its valuable collection of old and rare books and newspapers. Since Yugoslavia does not have a national agricultural library, the Yugoslav part of the international AGRIS database is produced in the MSL. MSL contributes to JUBIB, a Yugoslav bibliographic database. |
