THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION OF ŠIAULIAI CITY MUNICIPALITY PUBLIC LIBRARY AND JELGAVA CITY LIBRARY FROM THE EMPLOYEES' STANDPOINT.

The comparative analysis of both institutions showed different ways of intercultural communication in libraries: ŠL cooperates with volunteers from abroad, JCL collaborates with trade unions of national minorities. Differences in intercultural communication are found in this case - different work style and language. Both libraries have been found to work together in joint project activities. Libraries did not have major conflicts in the process of intercultural cooperation, the biggest obstacle (difficulty) was the linguistic barrier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
