Summary/Abstract: The websites of 80 libraries belonging to the Federation of the Church Libraries ‘Fides’ have been analysed in search of information about their bibliographic projects. The examples present the experience of the institutions in the development of information tools and the protection of the theological heritage acquired over the years. Selected bibliographical databases were characterized, divided into subject bibliographies and bibliographies of issues, bibliographies of serial publications and journal contents, and personal and collective bibliographies. It was established that the most important bibliographic product of the libraries associated under ‘Fides’ is the Electronic Bibliography of Theological Sciences, co-created with the National Library of Poland in Warsaw. The libraries under study, on the other hand, most often developed bibliographies of journal contents, which were partly absorbed by the subject bibliography, and less frequently by other subject bibliographies and bibliographies of journal contents issues and collective bibliographies.
