- The objective of this paper is to present the first development period of the bibliographic activities in the National and University Library in Zagreb and point particularly to some so far unknown facts connected with this development. Some organisational and other questions during the presidency of the first Library director Ivan Kostrenčić are first discussed, followed by a review of activities of Kostrenčić's successor Velimir Deželić. It was established that during the whole period between 1875 and 1918 the Library professionals took into account the necessity of elaboration and publication of the Croatian national bibliography but that the necessary financial and personnel prerequisites for this activity were not extant in the Library at that time. Therefore the Library had to restrict its activities to priority tasks, such as library catalogues for users. Some details about an unsuccessful trial of the production of a Croatian bibliography at the end of the 19th century are presented as well as the creation of the first cataloguing rules in 1913 and plans of V. Deželić for further development of bibliographic activities in the Library after the end of the First World War.
