In 2020, Slavic Reference Services (University of Illinois) in collaboration with IFLA National Library Section started a webinar titled Meet the National Libraries. The aim of the webinar is to emphasize the role and importance of national libraries.

The National Library of Serbia participated in the webinar on Thursday, January 19, and presented its most important features: catalogues, collections, services to users and librarians, preservation, digitization, projects, etc.

The webinar started with the short video featuring dr Vladimir Pištalo, Director of NLS who talked about the past, present and the future of the library. Video was created and edited by Nikola Vukanović (librarian).

The video was followed by three presentations:
