WEB SITE KAO SREDSTVO PREDSTAVLJANJA ARHIVA U JAVNOSTI
WEB SITE AS A MEDIUM FOR PRESENTATION ARCHIVES IN PUBLIC

Summary/Abstract: Archives in Bosnia and Herzegovina (at least one of them) under- stand the importance of opening to the public and communication with the public. Internet in the field of archivistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina is still the "new-old" media. New is because all archives are not applied for the pur- pose of their presentation, so for them it remains new and its old because in fact it no longer represents a novelty in the field of communications. Web pages provide basic information about the role, importance, the function of archives, their organization and activities, but there is still room for more fully informing the public. Technical possibilities of creating web pages are not fully used. Re- sults are not particularly original solutions, mostly it is a simple, graphical unimaginative pages. Browsers that exist on some web sites do not always provide the requested information (the text does not match the specific term or period). No pages allow the search and use of available funds electronically (by registered users who pre-paid membership fees or any other form of monetary compensation). The Internet is a medium suitable for permanent data actualization; with the Internet you can always be in touch with newest events and timely inform the public - the advantage that is not being used by all the archives: pages are not updated, information is outdated, news can not be called news anymore because the date is from several years ago, for individual events is is not surely known if they occurred, or they will happen in the future. Capabilities of presenting the Archive via Web page are infinite, the refinement and application of new technological solutions is a process that will allow these institutions to fully adapt to the trend of modern business.
