![„Książki dla młodzieży […] powinny przedstawiać […] czuły mechanizm walki klasowej”. Szczecińskie Plenum Zarządu Głównego Związku Literatów Polskich, sierpień 1951 r.](/api/image/getissuecoverimage?id=picture_2016_31346.jpg)
The article is an attempt at showing the situation of literature for children and youth during the first years after the conclusion of World War II. Based on the materials from the Szczecin Plenum of the Principal Board of Polish Writers, which was held in August 1951, the views of the political leadership on the literature for youth were outlined. These tendencies, with certain changes and varying intensity, continued throughout the Polish People’s Republic period.

In January 1930, the first issue of a new political weekly connected with the conservative camp “Na Dobie” was published. The paper was run by Adolf Dziaczkowski – the former responsible editor of “Dzień Polski”, who in mid-December 1929 had left the editorial staff of the Warsaw conservative daily after his conflict with the members of the Stronnictwo Prawicy Narodowej [National Right Party] being in charge of the journal, opposing their loyalist policy towards Józef Piłsudski's post-May rule. The new paper had an ambition to represent all the political circles whose interest were tied to agricultural activity. Therefore, in spite of his conservative provenance, the weekly's editor took up – in vain – action towards building a new political formation “Agricultural Party”. Apart from that, the publicists focused their attention on commenting current political events. In their opinions they concentrated on criticizing the so called “colonels” – the Marshals' closest adherents, at the same time supporting the center part of the Bezpartyjny Blok Współpracy z Rządem [Nonpartisan Block of Cooperation with the Government] gathered around professor Kazimierz Bartel, who was Prime Minister five times in the years 1926–1930. “Na Dobie”, however, did not manage to win a regular group of readers and associates, which would allow the journal to survive on the press market. Between 5th January and 13th April 1930, only fifteen issues were published. The weekly probably collapsed due to financial causes, which is indicated by its falling circulation starting with the seventh issue.

The services provided by libraries should be put at the disposal of users for all their fields of interest. Technology and its electronic processing constituent have passed over the critical level and determine libraries to create systems for access to information and to be efficient. Among these, the OPAC system occupies a central position compared to all the other interest axes. Today, the OPAC system functionalities should be at a real standard level and overpass it by innovating its functions requested, on one hand, by the public who uses highly advanced technologically mobile devices, and, on the other hand, by librarians, when solving the information tasks in an objective manner and develop their own services. The standard functionalities as well as the extended ones belonging to a new generation OPAC system presented in the article represent a necessary benchmark for the librarians interested in developing their own automated library system, as well as by the orientation and development of services, taking into consideration their public and how this public influences and it is influenced by technology and communications, in general.

In the community of scholars scholarly periodicals perform various functions, inter alia they create a space for communication in the said community, they are the first outlet where results of research may be published or they are helpful in the evaluation of scholarly literature. Serial publications may also furnish inspiration for the flourishing of scholarship itself. After the Arianta database we assume that in Poland 84 library science and scholarly information periodicals are published. One of such titles is “Nowa Biblioteka. Usługi, Technologie Informacyjne i Media” (until 2014 known as “Nowa Biblioteka. Zeszyty Monograficzne Koła Naukowego Bibliotekoznawców Uniwersytetu Śląskiego”). Until the end of 2015 the periodical of the Student Association of Library Scientists of the University of Silesia in Katowice was the only periodical of student library science associations on the citation index list of periodicals of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education – Part B. Bytaking these reasons into account one performed a bibliometrical analysis of the periodical.The study material involved all publications featured in the periodical since its establishment in 2015.

In his groundbreaking book The Image of the City (1960), the American researcher Kevin Lynch, creator of the theory of mental maps, explores the urban dwellers’ mental images and the ways in which these images correspond to the material forms perceived in urban spaces. Bukowiecki argues that in the case of a city such as Warsaw, where the dramatic events of the twentieth century have completely reshaped the urban fabric, we must broaden the scope of our analyses of images of the city to include the social image of objects that are immaterial, imperceptible, or spectral. This approach to reading the city, which has much in common with grounded theory and which has been applied by architecture critics, literary scholars and ethnologists dealing with the space of Warsaw, can be described as an exercise in the haunted spatial imagination.

The article discusses the principles of collecting collections for public libraries for children and youth and school libraries. The qualitative analysis was based on the list of titles of books that were planned to buy 44 school libraries in 2014 as part of the government subsidy. The collected material is divided into the following categories: school reading, literature classics for children, poetry, fairy tales, books for children, Grzegorz Kasdepke's books, literature for children, literature, fantasy, educational books, history and biographies, and others. Most often libraries planned to buy school books, educational books (dictionaries, encyclopedias). From the literature, it was usually planned to buy fantasy books, novels for girls and works by authors such as Paweł Beręsewicz, Marcin Pałasz, Barbara Gawryluk, Renata Piątkowska, Małgorzata Strzałkowska. It was also planned to buy books that were screened and advertised in youth magazines. The analysis shows that the collections of school libraries and public libraries for children and youth respond to the reading needs of this group of recipients.

In the last few years on the book market there are more and more philosophical books intended for children, or at least ‘philosophising’. A large part of the publication of this type are picturebooks, using an image as the main carrier of information. In this article we will try to answer the question whether the adoption of such a convention – it is constructing content based not only on the text, but also as a significant image (sometimes made by the same person) can be helpful with these ‘unspeakable’ concepts. How authors and illustrators are trying to present the most general and the most difficult is-sues? Whether the use of the image would be helpful in this case, or what ‘unspeakable’ is also unillustrateable’?

One of the first projects of the Science Archive at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the “Digital Archive Marin Drinov” (http://www.math.bas.bg/digi/drinov/archiv.html). It was realized in cooperation with the department of Applied Information Technologies in the Humanities at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The project began back in 2006 with the scanning of 24 archival units (176 facsimiles of manuscripts, 14 printings and 15 black and white photos) from fond № 104K of the Science Archive. It is worth mentioning that the digitalization of a personal archival fond is the first of its kind in Bulgaria with respect to the technological, methodological, and classification merits of the digitalized information. The future plans of the team that undertook this project are closely related to the systematic updating of published information, in terms of quantity and thematic content, with documents reflecting the life and work of M. Drinov which are kept in the fonds of the Science Archive. This project is still viable in 2014, a year marking the 145th anniversary of the Bulgarian Literary Society (now the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.)

Creation of conditions to motivate students, teachers and scientists from different countries by including them in a network is one of the goals of the International project “Methods and Information technologies in educations” (MITE). Crowd sourcing for a research project is an interesting form for the purpose. The project began in 2018 and was directed to the elaboration of an open electronic encyclopedia of plane curves. A website “We write by ourselves” was created to support the project. Scientists were the moderators of the encyclopedia topics. They formulated problems in articles-matrices. The participants in the project tried to solve the problems and wrote articles too. They were grouped in teams consisted of students from three countries – Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Russia. Their mentors were school teachers. The present article describes the technical and methodological work of those who helped students to obtain results.
