World of great working possibilities with all the types of digital information in all sciences and arts is being opened by computerization in the sphere of knowledge. Current information and communication systems receive, information processing and transmit information in the form of digital signals. Communication process of information into digital information system is named digitization. Information and communication systems dispose of digital information saved in electronic data bases. Systems of identifiers allow targeted information retrieval. DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is one of the most popular identifiers. It's used for identification of digital objects.

Chapbooks as a very specific genre of printed materials are a unique type of a society‘s material memory, one that is currently under threat due both to its physical medium and its ephemeral nature and bibliographic uniqueness. The Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, as one of the bodies tasked with the preservation of the nation‘s cultural heritage in the area of popular culture, has undertaken to process and make publicly available its collection of chapbooks by first publishing them as books and then by digitizing them and cataloguing them in a publicly accessible online database using the MARC 21 format.

The exceptional contribution of Felix Kanitz to Bulgarian scientific and cultural development is an occasion to present to Bulgarian and European public his artistic and documentary heritage, to turn again our attention to the personality and the significant achievements of the great explorer of the Balkans in the 60s and 70s of the nineteenth century. Kanitz`s imagery and literary heritage belong to the most valuable elements of our material and spiritual culture. In the prospect of association of our society to the European community Kanitz`s works should be understandably promoted in the scientific space so as to point out Felix Kanitz`s cultural contributions to Bulgaria and to better identify his relationship with both the national Bulgarian identity and the Balkans and European nations. The artistic works and literary heritage of F. Kanitz which have been preserved until today are valuable elements of the common European material and spiritual culture. The time has come for them to be presented correctly in the scientific world and through the new communication technologies to become available for the public. The Scientific Archive and the Central Library of BAS have a mutual project for specifying and broadening the knowledge about the life and work of Kanitz, and for digitalizing and publishing pages of his private archives. This is a responsible researchers` task which has an important significance for affiliating the Bulgarian culture into European cultural environment.

This article attempts to answer the question whether the websites of large Polish libraries apply principles of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The study was conducted in four areas, including as follows: 1. study of key words (key word research, key word usage & key word density); 2. analysis of the on-page factors (content & technology); 3. analysis of off-page factors (backlinks & social media); 4. analysis of metrics reputation (brand & confidence metrics). The first area of research is based on the data generated from Google Adwords for the year 2014 (7.411.387 queries, 801 phrases); for subsequent areas material was provided by technical analysis of 13 most visited websites of libraries located in four major academic cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw). In the article the author examined in detail key words/ phrases, by which users search for local academic libraries, and also examined how the selected libraries’ websites implement SEO guidelines. The point of reference in the diagnosis of current factors were correlation reports of companies: Searchmetrics (SEO Ranking Factors and Rank Correlations 2014, 2015) and MOZ (Search Engine Ranking Factor 2015). Empirical research was based on data as of February 2015.

Evaluation, which is an important part of the design process of a digital library, is essential in the process of improving the functionality of the library and recognition of users needs. The article presents an analysis of Polish and foreign literature, published mainly between 2000 and 2012, on evaluation of digital libraries, including the concepts of selections of digital library’s elements for evaluation, and also on criteria and methods of evaluation. The user- and system-centered approach to digital library evaluation were described. Among the presented evaluation methods, the user interface usability evaluation was highlighted as a popular and frequently used method, especially in researches conducted abroad. Additionally, user interface usability evaluation methods and holistic model of digital library evaluation were presented. The literature analysis includes researches conducted by Saracevic, Blandford, Borgman, Buchanan and Salako, Chowdhury and Chowdhury, Fuhr, Hang, Jeng, Kelly, Kochang, Janiak and Krakowska, Xie, Tsakonas, Kapidakis and Papatheodorou.

Like other institutions of this type in the old Polish period, the City Council of Lviv, the primary authority in the city, gathered its own book collection. It consisted of books as well as other bibliological documents, initially handwritten, then copied by using the typographic technique. Acquisition of essential books stemmed from the practical needs of the office as they served as reference collection. It included primarily legal books but also historical, astronomical, scientific and others. Apart from purchasing on the book market, books were rewritten on demand of the councilors. The collection also included books that were donated or dedicated to the city. The Council, which fulfilled the legislative, administrative and to some extent also the judiciary function, was also one of the few cultural centers in the city and a cultural patron. It can be assumed that at the end of the 17th century, apart from handwritten archival manuscripts, the library possessed over 100 books. It is hard to estimate the overall number of prints and other bibliological documents that passed through the Council over the time.

Ze Staszkiem spotkałem się u początków swej uniwersyteckiej edukacji w pierwszych dniach września 1952 roku w tzw. Gołębniku. Nie był liczny nasz rocznik – niespełna 100 osób rekrutujących się z całej Polski. Choć dominowały osoby – rzecz zrozumiała – z Krakowa, Małopolski, Podkarpacia. Na ćwiczeniach, seminariach w jednej ławie siedzieliśmy ze Staszkiem. Od pierwszych tygodni należał do grona tych, o których zwykło się mówić: primus inter pares. Imponował nam swoim oczytaniem, on wszystko wiedział wcześniej. Kiedy poznawaliśmy gmach Biblioteki Jagiellońskiej i sztukę posługiwania się katalogami, Staszek był tam już zadomowiony i zaprzyjaźniony z bibliotekarz d rozblio ami.
