Since 2009, through participation in the Library Development Programme (LDP), public libraries in villages and urban-rural municipalities have been undertaking dynamic activities. In 2012, within the LDP, eleven young Polish librarians (including the author of the article) and library and information science students participated in the International Young Librarians Academy in Ventspils, Latvia. The article presents their experience and opinions (also librarians from Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and the USA attended the Academy). The author describes the conditions of participation in the project, the course of four-week training and the librarians’ experiences after returning home. It has been shown that going abroad, eshablishing contacts, exchanging experience and seeing new solutions have a significant impact on the professional activity of librarians.

In the years 1996–1999 the civil war raged in Kosovo, which at that time was part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Several years after the war, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was still giving judgments on crimes against humanity. In addition to the genocide during the war there was libricide – intentional destruction of books, as one of the elements associated with ethnic cleansing. Immediately after the war, actions supposed to reconstruct the lost heritage were taken, which required an enormous commitment of many people. In 2000, a report on the Kosovo Library, a general assessment and a short and medium‑term development plan were created. The document was written through the collaboration of UNESCO, Council of Europe and IFLA. The Kosova Library Mission was created, within which the long-term plan Kosova Library Project 2000+ was proposed. The plan assumes the creation of eleven different programmes related to reconstruction and improvement of the library network.

ISAD(G) is, by far, the most acknowledged standard for archives, that also comprise a data model, about the structure and relation between archival entities. Besides, there are also some other attempts to codify these complex relationships and also those of creators or functions. Also, there have been developed some data models for records management that might be interesting to be regarded and connected to archival models, as part of the same lifecycle of records. The present paper aims to give a brief presentation of these data models, with some critical remarks.

This paper aimed to identify a side of the archival activity often neglected in professional literature: the way an archival institution manage its own records and, most precisely, those records directly related with the administration of its holdings. Most IT solutions today, designed as support for archival activities, are more Archival Information Systems, implementing (mostly) professional standards for archival description, or Archival Management Softwares, monitoring a larger range of archival activities. There are although rare cases when a reliable and professional module of records management is available. With its rigorous registration/capture system, classification, access control, with its retention policies, such an application would be, in our opinion, at the utmost relevance for a proper archival management.

The purpose and goal of archival informational aids is to mediate between the archival material and its users, assisting the researchers in finding the needed information in the archival material itself. Our experiences so far on this subject in our Archives and direction and means in which the archivist should point their further activities to familiarize standardize models, forms and content of these crucial results of the archival work to the researchers. Today, when modern society is dominated by informational surroundings, it is noticeable that such surroundings are becoming a rising trend in our field of work as well. Such fact exposes The Archives to a complex task of adjusting as well as possible to given surroundings. This task is realized through the means of presentations and publishing of the informational aids. We strive to merge and adjust all the former results of archival work to the new technologies. Besides placing the new edition of The Archival Material Guide on our web site and series of Analytical descriptions, one of the projects we are working on is the online register research – E-research.

Started with an Internet expansion in early 1990-s, Open Access (OA) is defined by BOAI (2002) as follows: “By “Open Access”, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.” Open Access can be implemented as “green road”, when authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a version of the article for free public use in repositories, or as “golden road”, when authors publish immediate in an open access journal. “Gratis” Open Access is no-cost online access, “libre” Open Access is gratis open access with some additional usage rights. As the holders, managers and keepers of cultural heritage, archivist support Open Access by providing their resources on the Internet and publishing theirs articles in repositories and OA journals.

Dokładna analiza zapisów w Bibliografii polskiej Estreicherów przynosi czasem przykre niespodzianki, które nie osłabiają zachwytu dla dzieła. Skłaniają też do refleksji, że trzeba sporo zabiegów, by precyzyjnie przypisać utwory powstałe w I Rzeczypospolitej, zwane starymi drukami, konkretnej osobie. Nie wystarczą imię, nazwisko, miejsce urodzenia autora, miejsce wydania, gdyż z tej samej miejscowości może się wywodzić kilka osób o tym samym imieniu, tylko niekiedy można dla nich odnaleźć imię ojca. Czasami trzeba poddać analizie treść książek, poszerzyć wiadomości o ich autorze.
