Tytus Laskiewicz in the service of the book. From the history of the libraries of the Lviv University of Technology and the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice

Summary/Abstract: Tytus Laskiewicz (1884-1964) was the head of the library of the Lvov University of Technology. His contribution to the transfer of its collections to a new building and the organisation of library work there was exceptional. He published 4 catalogues presenting its collections. He performed the same function at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, where he built the book collection from scratch, dealt with the development of the collection and made it accessible. His duties also involved building issues. Furthermore, Laskiewicz collaborated with the local library community. For his accomplishments in the field of librarianship, he was awarded the Gold Cross of Merit and the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta. The article was developed mainly on the basis of source documents, including materials previously unknown by the scientific community, such as Kronika Biblioteki c.k.Szkoły Politechnicznej we Lwowie (in the collection of the Stefanyk Library in Lviv).
