Abstract

The Municipal Library and Information Centre of Gödöllő uses non-traditional, marketing-oriented library solutions to increase reader activity and utilisation of information resources. The present study examines the effects of the implemented shop concept on library circulation statistics, with a special focus on acquisitions in 2022. The statistical analyses show that thematic groupings and highlights have significantly contributed to higher utilisation of library resources and increased reader satisfaction.
