Coffee and cacao have been used since ancient times. Scientists suppose that coffee originated from Ethiopia. Genus Coffea has almost 103 species, from which only 3 species are most frequently used in the preparation of coffee Coffea canephora Pierre ex A.Froehner or Coffea robusta L. Linden, Coffea liberica Hiern, and Coffea arabica L. The most known bioactive compound from coffee is caffeine. The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao L.) is originated from Central and South America. Genus Theobroma contains 22 species, from which only 1 species presents interest in the production of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). The most known bioactive compound from cacao is theobromine. These plants have medicinal properties (antibacterial, antiviral, against neurodegenerative diseases) and contraindication (children under 3 years, lactation, allergies). Seeds of these plants are used to produce coffee and cacao. The waste is used in animal feeding, pharmacology, food industry as flavouring agents. These plants also present a big interest for biotechnology, because scientists try to obtain species that will be more resistant to climatic changes, diseases, and will become more productive. In conclusion, coffee and cacao have become a part of our lives. Many people depend on the cacao and coffee industry, also due to the complex chemical composition and medicinal proprieties, the species referred to above can be used in the development of new drugs

On April 19-20, 2021, an international scientific conference was held in Wrocław to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the establishment of an academic centre for the education of librarians at the University of Wrocław at the higher level, whose estimable traditions are continued today by the Institute of Library and Information Science. The report on this event contains the characteristics of the event. Individual conference speeches were discussed, juxtaposing them in thematic blocks in terms of contents: readership; editing; sources of information about a book; libraries; bibliology; publishing traffic. Attention was paid to the basic hypotheses and research theses contained in the papers. In the discussion of foreign papers, the polonica present in them were emphasized. The efficiency of the organizer was highlighted, who, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, was forced to conduct the conference remotely. He took full advantage of all the possibilities offered by this formula, especially of the chat, thanks to which it was possible to comment on the presented papers, ask questions to the speakers and exchange views between the participants. It is also worth noting that the conference was accompanied by an international exhibition of ex libris under the slogan: “Institute of Library and Information Science of the University of Wrocław.”

Izborna skupština DHK HB zakazana za 28. studenoga 2020. nije održana zbog strogih epidemioloških mjera nadležnih služba, a nakon Odluke proširene sjednice Upravnoga odbora Društva. Sjednica je bila zakazana unatoč već poznatim mjerama zbog jednostavnoga razloga što je postojala dvojba u vezi sa strogim restriktivnim mjerama Ministarstva pravde F BiH, koje su se provodile posljednjih godina ukoliko se ne bi striktno poštovale odredbe statuta društava te su u tim slučajevima udruge (kao što je naše Društvo) brisane iz evidencije Ministarstva (gdje je i DHK HB registrirano). Budući da je odgovor Ministarstva bio neodređen, morali smo Skupštinu zakazati i prema mogućnostima održati, no na Proširenoj sjednici smo odlučili kako je već navedeno. Nakon mjesec dana smo dobili usmena uvjeravanja da nas ne će brisati iz Registra. I prema dosadašnjim informacijama nismo brisani. Nisu bile, u vezi s tim, utemeljene, a još manje opravdane primjedbe koje su se širile društvenim mrežama da u rukovodstvu Društva netko „nešto muti“ i tomu slično.
