It is well-known that after 1989, libraries have changed their politics concerning the access to special collections - ancient books, manuscripts, maps, images etc. - that became easier to search and study. This could be possible first, because of the attempts of promoting the ancient values, and second, because of the changes that took place in the educational and scientific fields (the growing number of researchers, historians, writers, students etc., whose interest in research and scientific writing has lately increased). According to this bases, there are some directions that might be identified: a) finding of supplementary means of enriching the collections and communicate them to the readers, because it is well known that the quality of information offered to the public depends on the librarian’ s knowledge about the collection he is working with. We must also consider up to date electronic possibilities, that enable us to create digital library (data bases containing digitized documents, images etc.); b) making the most of local patrimony, that requests, first of all, the creation of a data base, containing all the information we may collect about our county: books, articles, maps, images, correspondence, official papers etc.; c) the involving of the readers, that must be determined to come to library and like it; and that requests the laying out of a special place for talking and making the best of our time.

Cataloguing is a specific branch of the bibliographical processing documents, that establishes the rules of creating the necessary instruments for finding the documents in a library collection. The use of collocation „management of organizing library’s collection” is due to the complexity of cataloguing - that refers to following of some rigorous rules and it is based on strictly description rules, established both on national and international level. According to effectual standards, each recording is made of three distinctive elements: 1. the properly bibliographical description - that includes the particular elements of each document; 2. the establishing of those specified elements that will be the main entrances: headings for alphabetic catalogues and classification index; 3. topographic quota, that will indicate the place of documents in library’ depository. Thus, one of the most important jobs a librarian that works on processing documents must do refers to the bibliographical description. We have to clarify a very important aspect from the very beginning: there is no synonymy between the two terms: cataloguing and bibliographical description; it is more like subordinate relation, because each bibliographical description is part of a catalographic registration. Cataloguing registrations are more complex, more extensive as compared bibliographical description and they include some supplementary elements, such as: main and secondary headings, books quota and classification index; each element may be used as a criteria for searching and for the bibliographical card organization. The main headings thus become entrance elements for the systematicalphabetic catalogue and also for the intern catalogue, while classification index is used for an easier searching for books, according to their content. But it is obvious that the use of on-line catalogues makes easier the searching, according to many criteria. Each record of a document contains the following documents: a. heading; b. description; c. access elements; d. codification elements. Cataloguing is only a small part of the process that takes place in a library, more precisely at the cataloguing department. But this domain is so vast, that could hardly be comprised in just one study; in fact, we might consider each stage of the cataloguing process may be the subject for an independent study. Our analysis was not intended to identify each methodological stage of cataloguing; our intention was to present some delicate aspects of this process and we have emphased some of them: • bibliographical description of current monographies; • description in automation system. The examples offered by this study have proved that the management of organizing collections, that also includes cataloguing and bibliographical description, is a complex process that must be treated with responsability, because by a proper administration of the documents recently bought by the library, librarians concure to a higher quality of services.

After border agreements being signed between Poland and German Federal Republic in 1970, pope Paul VI established a permanent Church administration in Western Pomerania and Ziemia Lubuska. On that time there was establisted Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) diocese. Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) diocese archive was erected thanks to the third diocesan bishop in year 2003. It is manager according to an approved status and an internal statute. To the archive there are passed files from the bishop curia, parishes, institutions and private persons. Its current content consists of file and non-file documents - photographs. Nowadays it makes 18,200 artifacts. Photographis files are not yet processed according to current archive standards. Up to now there had been made some handy lists and there were made some attempts to identify some people and events visible on those photos. Alhhough the not-yet-processed files some single photographs are available for the needs of local exhibitions or scholar works.

The concept of prosumption is commonly used to identify and analyse the specificities of activities on Web 2.0. This article provides the minimal and maximal definition of the concept by decomposing available conceptualisations. Including maximal number of mutually consistent attributes, it amounts to the definition of the ideal type of prosumption. The paper critically assesses the existing classifications of prosumption, and proposes a new, more systematic typology. It is designed on the basis of three conceptual dimensions: 1) the nature of the prosumptive activities in collaborative terms (individual/collaborative); 2) the primary reason for engaging in a prosumptive activity (prosumption in order to create/prosumption in order to use); 3) the level of training required from the prosumer (conditionally divided into “specialist” and “amateur”). The eight types formulated cover essentially the whole spectrum of prosumptive activities and direct to the more detailed empirical studies of motivations and intensity of engagement in prosumption.

The article is devoted to the problem of the relation of personal and communal libraries in the Old Believers communities on the example of the book collection of a skete on Ilyushkin Island of the Novgorod district, an inventory of which was found in the funds of the Novgorod Museum-Reserve. The initiator of the revival of the skete at the end of 19th century monk Cyprian (Sozonov) was directly involved in the formation of this library. His personal views and passions found expression in the selection of skete books. This becomes especially obvious thanks to the comparison of the description of the book collection with the composition of the author’s miscellany, which was written by the sket superior, as well as the newly revealed documents covering his activities. In a sense, the library of the monastery can be considered an expression of a full-fledged cultural program, predetermined by the religious views of Cyprian. In its basis, in addition to the characteristic traditional orientation towards worship and monastic activity, it also reveals a polemical attitude and historicism. In addition to the sources related to the bookishness of the skete on Ilyushkin Island, documents are introduced into the scientific circulation, covering its history and the socio-cultural context in which the analyzed book collection of the skete was formed.

Under the conditions of global competition, businesses must have competitive advantages in order to survive. For this, businesses need to keep their production processes under control, automate them, and make humanmachine interaction safe and efficient. It has become almost inevitable for businesses today to reduce production errors, reduce maintenance-repair costs, eliminate unnecessary activities and apply the lean production approach. Technological innovations such as additive manufacturing, the internet of things, cloud computing, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence in recent years has led to the emergence of cyber-physical systems. In this paper, a literature summary of the articles on SCI-expanded and SCI on cyber-physical production systems between 2015 to 2021 years is presented in order to guide the scientists and technical personnel of the enterprises who want to work on these systems that will be the basis of the future production systems. It was seen that there were more conceptual studies at the beginning, but a rapid increase in applied studies. In addition, important studies that address the difficulties faced by businesses in the digital transformation process and draw attention to cyber security are also striking.

Bibliographic control is one of the few internationally highly standardized activities. The generally accepted IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) has influenced the modification of numerous other standards in the field of bibliographic control. In this context, also on UNIMARC and ISBD. Moreover, at the IFLA WLIC 2022 Congress, the working group for the revision of international cataloguing principles announced that it was analyzing the introduction of the term “work with entities”. In the COBISS system, developments in the field of bibliographic control and standards related to it are closely monitored. The transition to the new millennium shed a new light on the organization of bibliographic information, placing in the focus of interest authority data as the basic building block of a new approach to managing the sources of the bibliographic universe. Therefore, first of all, the state of authority data in the COBISS.net network should be analyzed, which can serve as a starting point for development and cooperation between the member countries of the COBISS.net network also on this field.

At the beginning of the 20th century, international indexing and cross-referencing type-systems were developed for folklore archiving and research that later advanced to international standards in tradition archives, but they were not compatible with the general archival rules and practices. At present, during the digital age of 21st century, a need to participate in creating interoperable archival standards has emerged. Archival and cultural theories have proceeded from the postmodern era towards the requirements of the digital network society. This paradigm shift calls for measures for creating new standards and rules for the archival world, and a new understanding of the word context in the archival terminology. Furthermore, an integration of the archives, museums and libraries in developing search portals and solutions of Linked Open Data is at stake right now. In the digital age the keywords for the collecting institutions include: network, context, interoperability, and integration.

The influence institutional mandates have on the activity and results of describing archives could be risky for the value of descriptive authenticity. Different understandings of archival terminology, descriptive processes, and context models certainly influence the concept of authenticity in regard to archival description within a collection holding institution. If one will ask for authenticity matters, a model of archival description will not be sufficient in order to give insights into the factors description and its results are influenced by. Therefore, the basis of this investigation shall be the draft of a conceptual model consisting of models regarding objects of description, subjects of describing, toolkit for describing and perception. As conference proceedings, this essay highlights certain points and parts. One question is the role of “Records in Contexts Conceptual Model” (RiC-CM) as a new standard which enables priorizations of relationships, and whether it can help to put standardization and authenticity efforts closer together.

Thesis/aim: The author of this article aimed to diagnose the reasons why the most important international magazines in the field of Library & Information Science (LIS) took relatively low positions on the Polish ministerial list (2019), and to present their list obtained according to the author's original method. Research methods: To select journals, bibliometric methods such as citation analysis, index analysis, and correlation testing were used. Results: The first part of the article presents the genesis of the ministerial list, before examining the technique of its creation and the mapping between LIS and citation indexes. The author found that journals belonging to many disciplines influenced the creation of the list. In the second part, the article’s author presents a new method of creating such a list, a method based on the assumption that affiliation to a discipline is determined by a journal’s usage in that discipline. The research material consisted of 77 journals selected from Web of Science and Scopus. As a result of the calculations, the collection was divided into three groups: a) basic journals for LIS (26 titles); (b) journals from associated disciplines formally belonging to the LIS (26); (c) multidisciplinary journals formally belonging to the LIS (25). Conclusions: The research revealed that only 33.8% of the journals assigned to LIS are actually cited by scientists who publish in LIS periodicals. The remaining titles are either usable by researchers from other disciplines (33.8%) or are multidisciplinary (32.4%). Among the 26 most important LIS journals, three (3) types of periodicals were distinguished: general journals (9 titles), periodicals devoted to scientific information (9), and profiled journals (8). The comparative analysis of the metrics shows that journals belonging to the core of the discipline (basic for LIS) achieve lower bibliometric indicators than other periodicals formally assigned to the LIS. The author concludes that the thematic lists of journals published by citation indexes are incoherent and should not be directly used for the evaluation of scientific disciplines.

Evaluating documentation is crucial for the process of creating sources for scientific studies. The paper discusses the clash between the needs of administration and the expectations of researchers regarding the assessment of documents’ archival value conducted by state archives. It demonstrates two approaches towards evaluating documentation resulting from its usefulness for scientific or practical applications, as well as difficulties concerning the selection of archival materials. It also proposes a role for archive supervisors in the evaluation process, which should balance the needs of science and those of administration.

Creating bibliographies (from the 17th century to modern times) is a way of describing books and other types of publications and classifying them according to certain standards, with the aim of providing sufficient information about a certain work. Since the end of the Second World War, with the increase in the number of publications on the territory of the newly formed state, there was a need to create a unique database of bibliographies of publications, in order to provide users with insight into the entire publishing activity of Yugoslavia. This work continued even after the independence of the Republic of Serbia, in the National Library of Serbia (NLS). In addition to creating bibliographies of monographic and serial publications, the NLS also creates bibliographies of articles and content from professional journals. The Department of Serial Publications, more precisely the Subject Analysis Subdepartment, is in charge of this work as a separate organizational unit. Within this department, in addition to the creation of bibliographies, bibliographies of articles from proceedings, CIP of articles (professional classification of articles from serial publications of articles), revision of the library collection, and translation of UDC (Universal Decimal Classification) tables are carried out.

The purpose of the research is to systematise and summarise known and new knowledge about analytical tools for modelling the activity of modern libraries in Ukraine. The research methodology is based on general scientific principles of comprehensive knowledge, complexity, systematicity, unity of theory and practice. The achievement of the set goal was facilitated by the use of general scientific (observation, analysis, synthesis, modelling, system approach, generalisation) and special (bibliographic, information diagnostics (express analysis), grouping) methods at the theoretical and empirical levels of research. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the systematization and generalisation of known (about models and modelling) and new knowledge (about the use of analytical modelling tools in the practical activities of Ukrainian libraries) from the point of view of the present and the perspectives of their development within the scope of one study. Conclusions. The place and role of the modern library in the global system of civilizational development is determined by its ability to be an information base for the development of human potential. That is, in today's changing world, the library is responsible for preserving, spreading and multiplying knowledge, comprehensive communication, providing a free, safe and comfortable space for learning and development, uniting communities and individual citizens. Researchers propose various models of modern library development: "Library – cultural and educational centre", "Library – scientific and information centre", "Library – public educational centre", "Library – digital hub", "Library – information and analytical centre" and others. It is clear that some models can be prioritised or combined. To build one or another effective model of the functioning and development of a modern library, appropriate analytical tools are involved in modelling: building a model canvas, brainstorming, visualisation, empathy map, SWOT analysis, and others. They help specialists generate innovative ideas, change the "rules of the game" to more effective ones, and practically transform the established form of library activity into a more perfect and modern one. Accordingly, during the implementation of the new model, document and information resources are updated, the level of communication is increased, the technological infrastructure is strengthened, the level of informatisation is increased, and the development of new competencies of specialists takes place.
