Sažetak
Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati mobilnost djelatnica Gradske knjižnice Marka Marulića Split u Finskoj, u sklopu Erasmus+ projekta pod nazivom „Poboljšanje digitalnih kompetencija u obrazovanju odraslih unutar rada narodnih knjižnica“ te poslovanje narodnih knjižnica u Finskoj – točnije, knjižnica na području gradova Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Tampere i Vantaa. Poseban je naglasak na predstavljanju rada najnovije knjižnice Oodi u Helsinkiju, koja je bila svojevrstan poklon stanovnicima Finske za 100. obljetnicu neovisnosti njihove države.
Pristup/metodologija. U radu se ukratko opisuje proces prijave djelatnica Gradske knjižnice Marka Marulića Split na Erasmus+ projekt, odabir aktivnosti u sklopu Erasmus+ programa te jedinstvene metode mobilnosti na koju su se djelatnice odlučile – metode job shadowinga, odnosno metode učenja promatranjem. Također, daje se uvid u specifičan način rada narodnih knjižnica u Finskoj, naročito onih koje su dio tzv. HELMET sustava. Prilikom mobilnosti nije korištena formalna metoda intervjua, već su odgovori dobiveni iz neposrednih razgovora s predstavnicima pojedinih knjižnica te se sukladno tome mogu smatrati pouzdanim informacijama. Interpretacija odgovora učinjena je usporedbom iskustva rada u Gradskoj knjižnici Marka Marulića Split i u knjižnicama na području gradova Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Tampere i Vanta, koje su posjećene tijekom mobilnosti.
Rezultati. Radom se želi pobliže upoznati hrvatsku knjižničarsku zajednicu s organizacijom knjižničnog poslovanja u Finskoj, uslugama koje njihove knjižnice nude svojim korisnicima te tzv. makerspaceom – zajedničkom stvaraonicom.
Praktična primjena. Uvidom u organizaciju i poslovanje narodnih knjižnica u Finskoj, hrvatske narodne knjižnice mogu unaprijediti vlastito poslovanje i usluge koje nude svojim korisnicima. Također, u zaključku rada navodi se i koje se usluge iz finskih narodnih knjižnica planiraju implementirati u rad Gradske knjižnice Marka Marulića Split.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad pridonosi diseminaciji informacija o mobilnostima knjižničnih djelatnika sufinanciranima sredstvima Europske unije te razmjeni primjera dobre prakse s kolegama u struci. Također, djelatnike narodnih knjižnica u Hrvatskoj upoznaje s principom rada u finskim narodnim knjižnicama te im nudi mogućnost implementacije i unaprjeđenja vlastitih usluga po uzoru na princip rada knjižnica u Finskoj.

Summary
Purpose. The goal of this work is to present the mobility of the employees of the City Library Marko Marulić Split in Finland, within the framework of the Erasmus+ project “Enhancing Digital Competencies in Adult Education within the Work of Public Libraries.” This includes monitoring the work of public libraries in Finland, specifically in the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Tampere, and Vantaa. Special emphasis is on presenting the work of the latest library – Oodi in Helsinki, which was a unique gift to the residents of Finland on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of their state’s independence.
Approach/methodology. This article briefly describes the process of application by employees of the City Library Marko Marulić Split for the Erasmus+ project, the selection of activities within the Erasmus+ program and the unique method chosen by the employees – the method of job shadowing or learning through observation. Additionally, it provides insight into the specific working methods of public libraries in Finland, especially those that are part of the HELMET system. During the mobility, a formal interview method was not used; instead, the answers were obtained through direct conversations with representatives of individual libraries, and accordingly, they can be considered reliable information. The interpretation of the answers was made by comparing the work experience at the City Library Marko Marulić Split with the libraries in the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Tampere, and Vantaa, which were visited during the mobility.
The results. The main goal of this work is to raise awareness within the Croatian library community about the job shadowing method and to provide them with a closer insight into the organization of library work in Finland. Additionally, the aim is to familiarize them with the services offered by Finnish libraries and the concept of a makerspace – a shared creative space that is gradually being implemented into the operational system of all types of libraries in Croatia.
Practical Application. By gaining insight into the organization and operations of public libraries in Finland, Croatian public libraries can enhance their own performances and improve the services they offer to their users. Additionally, the conclusion of the article outlines the services from Finnish public libraries that are planned to be implemented in the City Library Marko Marulić Split.
Originality/Value. This work contributes to the dissemination of information about EU-funded mobility for library staff and the exchange of good practice examples with colleagues in the field. Additionally, it introduces the staff of public libraries in Croatia with the working principles of Finnish public libraries, offering them the opportunity to implement and improve their own services based on the working principles of libraries in Finland.
