Summary/Abstract: The procedure of depositing the library of the Bielany Camaldolese monastery in the Jagiellonian Library was rather complicated. Firstly, it required creating essential software and adjusting the final storage area in the library. Secondly, single items had to be removed from the shelves, cleaned, identified and correlated with corresponding records in the digital database. After that, the collection underwent massive disinfection and was transported to the main building of the Jagiellonian Library, where all the books were arranged on the shelves, in the original order. The last phase of this project involved electronic cataloguing in the Virtua library management system.
