LITHUANIAN LIBRARIES in 2012 2,633 Libraries, Or by 61 Library LITHUANIAN LIBRARIES IN 2012 2,633 libraries, or by 61 library less than in 2011, submitted data to the Lithuanian Integral Library Information System (LIBIS) statistical module. At the end of the last year, the number of physical units in the total Lithuanian library stock amounted to 106,782,659, or by 905.8 thousand more than in 2011. During the year, the number of registered users in country libraries was 1,360,942, or by 37,557 less than in the previous year. The number of visits decreased by 933.2 thousand; the total number of visits at the end of the year comprised 25,428,375. The number of loans keeps decreasing every year. In 2012 it was 34,985,168 physical units, or by 859.9 thousand physical units less than in 2011. Since 2008 the number of loans decreased by more than 6.3 million physical units, in average by 1.27 million physical units annually. Decreasing of the main indicators is determined by various factors – first of all, year by year shrinking library network, increasing emigration of potential users, general decrease of number of inhabitants in the country, increasing number of part- time workers in the libraries, or number of libraries without employees. Part-time workers make up 24.6 percent of the whole number of professional librarians. Traditional library activities are being changed by computerization of the libraries, new technologies and possibilities emerging, online access to information resources. At the end of the year, 93.8 percent of libraries had computers, 92.4 percent had internet access. 14,874 computers were available to library users, among them 14,441 with internet access; more by 828 and 1.359 respectively than in 2011.

The number of downloads of electronic documents during the year was 9 million 281.7 thousand (against 5 million 48.3 thousand in 2011). Such significant increase was caused by the number of downloads of electronic documents in Vilnius city public libraries – in 2012 it was over 3 million, while in 2011 this number was not accounted. At the end of the year, the number of library employees was 7,367 (the number of staff 6,837.97), professional librarians among them 6,130 (the number of staff 5,590.26), or by 52 less than in 2011. The number of full time workers among professional librarians was 4,627 (75.5 percent), part time workers – 1,507. 3,211 (52.4 percent) of them had education in librarianship or information sciences (among them, with higher education in librarianship – 31.8 percent, with high education in librarianship – 20.6 percent). Other librarians – 2,919 in total – who gained professional skills working in the library were professionals in other fields. Among them, 1,879 (or 30.7 percent of the whole number of professional librarians) had higher education, 621 (or 10.1 percent) – high education, 419 (or 6.8 percent) – other (secondary, unfinished higher) education.

It analyzes the representations of four ethnic groups in 2000 and 2001: Roma, Jews, Russians and Poles. The paper also explores how the topics of ethnicity and homosexuality have been presented in the mass media as well as the regimes of representation that the Lithuanian media uses in the coverage of ethnic and sexual minorities. The chapter concludes with policy oriented recommen- dations aimed at promoting more objective popular media representations of minor- ity groups. 1. Introduction The media plays a large part in the formation of positive and negative images and self-images of minorities. According to B. S. Greenberg, “[R]esearchers have found that communication about minorities is value laden and that audiences internalize these values in a number of ways” (Greenberg 1986, pp.165-188). Therefore, it is important to ask what minority and majority audiences learn about themselves and each other from the media. How are ethnic and sexual minorities portrayed in the mass media?
