How the Literature Acquired the Role of a School of Librarianship — the Case of Kosova: A Study of Works That Contributed to the Development of the Librarianship Profession

ABSTRACT This article conveys an attempt to sketch the development of librarianship in Kosova over the past two decades through detailed scrutiny of the three major activities established by the National Library of Kosova in order to support education in the field of librarianship: Library Week in Kosova, the BIBLIOletra journal and the National Conference of Librarianship. Given that for more than half a century Kosova still lacks a specialized school for librarianship, these mediums, as well as the literature that sprang from them, proved to be a watershed for the development of librarianship in Kosova.
