The authors plead on the redefinition and expansion of the role of libraries in university institutions through the development of innovative services, inclusive offering bibliometric services. Bibliometric evolved from a sub-discipline of biblioteconomy and science information to an instrument of evaluation and comparative analysis of visibility of production of scientific and academic research activities. The article deals with the Republican Scientific Agricultural Library experience concerning the provision of services based on bibliometric data involving : status of scientific journals (indexed in databases or ISI); bibliometric analyses of publications of researchers; setting Hirsch index of authors; assistance researchers regarding personalizing the scientific production the database Sco-pus, etc.

Malyabecchi Antonio; famous Florence’s librarian; in his private life was very eccentric. By the other hand he became the central figure of literary life in Florence. Antonio’s memory was miraculous. Magliabecchi knew not only all the volumes in his own library or in Cosimo III de’ Medici’s private library; but could also tell the page and paragraph in which any passage occurred. Scholarships corresponded with him. Magliabecchi was ready to give a friendly answer to questions. So; he was an unacknowledged collaborator on many publications

Open access to scientific content means removal of cost barriers and most of the restrictions on copyright laws. It can have a gratis dimension, where the elimination of the cost is the only manifestation of openness and usage is limited to fair use. It may also take the form of access known as libre, which, through the introduction of a license system, appoints possibilities of usage beyond fair use. The article investigates the situation of Polish research periodicals registered in the Directory of Open Access Journal for the application of license recommended in DOAJ and by Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Republic of Poland. The aim was to answer a question which model of openness – gratis or libre – is closer to Polish journal publishers.

In the era of digitalisation, the role of a modern library has significantly changed. It ceased to be just a place where reader can borrow a book or use the reading room as currently libraries are becoming meeting places for young people within the group work, special events venues, and provide access to new technologies that facilitate making use of the library collection. Authors of the monograph entitled “Library of standards: space, resources, services” discuss in their book the stages of creation and organisation of a modern library. They use their own years of experience and depict changes they were a part of in recent years.

Not everyone can write a computer program, it seems obvious. However, should people who do not have a technical education know the basic principles of how computer software works? Well, why not? This seemingly difficult task has been taken up by the author of Jak działa oprogramowanie? Tajemnice komputerowych mechanizmów szyfrowania, obrazowania, wyszukiwania i innych powszechnie używanych technologii. Based on simple examples known from everyday life, he decided to explain mechanisms of the most popular and interesting computer software.

There shouldn’t be any doubt that globalization not only affects economies, but also other areas of scholarly interest, such as the research environment. Within research, multi-disciplinary approaches are now being utilized on a grand scale. As a result, the joint evolution of scale and multi-disciplinarity seems to direct modern research from the ‘potholing’ towards the ‘sky-diving’ approach. In this context, many countries where the research tradition was affected by isolation are trying to catch up fast and compete within the global research ecosystem. However, some of the research domains have a longer tradition and developed their own rules, which are rapidly adopted by other fields, in order to equal the visibility of their predecessors. The positivist approach, consisting of statistically analyzing data resulting from experiments, which are, in turn, designed to test hypotheses derived from empirical observations or theoretical reasoning based on a literature review, has left an important fingerprint on current research practices. It also appears to be related to the pressure of publishing research, translated into the ‘publish or perish’ adage, and more recently, to the use of scientometric approaches to assess the value of articles, based on their citations. These new trends, along with an emerging competition between the scientometric giants, Thomson-Reuters and Scopus, facilitated the evolution of ‘predatory journals’, but also engendered a propensity towards designing hybrids between science and economy or between science and social networking. At the same time, the pressure resulted into individual unethical behaviors; some authors are no longer interested in delivering their results to the appropriate audience, but are looking instead for those means that could facilitate their academic or research promotion. Consequently, some journals are also attempting to meet these needs. The global race for research competitiveness, measured in terms of scientific yield and citations, primarily affects fields where articles and citations are not the traditional outputs, such as the humanities and social sciences in general and planning-related disciplines in particular. When discussing planning, it has to be stressed out that research has a merely societal value and is not aimed at developing products that can foster economic growth or delivering scientific articles that profoundly change the theoretical perspectives. Simply put, research in planning aims at increasing the safety and welfare of people. As a consequence, planning research topics have shifted from providing scientific grounds to regional development policies, to addressing research quality and social responsibility or producing research guidelines. This article looks at the particular case of Romanian planning research based on SCImago data, in an attempt to assess whether this field is able to meet these global challenges, especially after the consistent, albeit uneven, in terms of goal and pace, application of new research policies designed after joining the European Union, which were aimed at increasing its article output and its international visibility. The findings indicate that the numerical growth of articles and publications is spectacular in Romania for most fields, and even more so within the humanities, the social sciences and planning. However, the question remains whether this impressive growth is supported by an increase in quality. We have therefore left aside matters such as the globalization of authors, topics or citations. These aspects require a more in-depth research effort.

The mediatisation of political communication indicates two main functions of the mass media: they report on events from the world of politics and create the images of political actors in the eyes of the public. I attempt to answer the question: can one talk about respecting the basic principles of journalistic ethics (the truth and the objectivity principles) in the times of the mediatisation of the public sphere? The theme of the article applies to terrorism, which is a form of political communication, having its own special expression. The activities of terrorist organisations influence the actions of the leaders of political life, citizens and the mass media. The research material consisted of Polish opinion-making weeklies Newsweek Polska and Polityka and national dailies in their printed versions: Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita. The time frame covered a period from 1 November 2015 to 11 December 2015. The topic of the article was treated as a case study.

In contemporary internet-dominated everyday life, ever more often one faces communications which utilise both verbal (words) and iconic (images) codes. In the article, I analyse two types of said communications: advertisements and memes. Both advertising content and memes belong to journalistic discourse. Therefore, one can analyse them using the same methods as verbal opinion texts, which require one to specify the situational background, the specific situation, the persuasive/ propaganda aim, and to standardise arguments. At the same time, memes are included in comical discourse, to analyse which it is necessary to be able to juxtapose the actual image with the presented image.
