A particularly important role in shaping the image of cultural institutions to the public certainly belongs to cultural policies of each institution. In this context, this paper will show cultural policy of archives and its impact on the formation of the overall image which archives have in the public and how to occupy its attention. In addition to the cultural politics of the archive, as a factor shaping the final image of an archive, the paper will discuss the organization of cultural and educational activities - what they are, or what they should be. Cultural and educational activities are an essential element in forming the cultural identity of each institution, so in this topic we should not ignore their synergy with the overall policy of the archive to the formation of public awareness of the role and importance of archives.

In her article Hanna Batorowska organizes terminology connected with the education of the users of broadly understood information and presents mutual relations between the terms that are interchangeably used in the Polish practice. The author analyzes the types of users’ information culture shaped by libraries of various organizational cultures. She also formulates conclusions concerning the influence of transformations in the understanding of the term “information culture” on the educational actions undertaken on the decision-making level that either bolster or hinder the development of the information literacy programme. She states that the economic and political aspects of realization of a particular project determine the preference of one of the definitions of information culture over other definitions that function in the literature. In conclusion the author states that it is mainly the government that is responsible for the development of the citizens’ information awareness and that it should recognize information literacy as the priority of educational policy and a component of the country’s information policy.

In the recent years, the Information Society Development Foundation (FRSI) addressed a new program at public libraries in rural communes of up to 20 000 residents – the Library Development Program. It is funded from a grant received by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One of the stages of the project is the proposal of updating the education of librarians working in these units, submitted by the Polish Bibliology Society – PTB (the Warsaw department). After signing the appropriate agreement with FRSI, the Society invited to cooperation 9 leading academic centres of education in scientific information and library science. The article presents the results of a survey commissioned by the Warsaw department of PTB at the Institute of Scientific Information and Library Science of the Pedagogical University of Krakow. The survey was conducted in March 2011 on a group of 85 undergraduate students and 115 postgraduate students. Analysis of the results shows that the vast majority of the respondents did not work in public libraries. Among the minority who did, most of the respondents had been employed for more than 3 years. Most of the people surveyed declared that they were considering work in a small commune library. The grounds for such a decision were mainly: a desire to get in closer touch with users, compliance of the performed work with the obtained education, and location close to home. Those who were not interested in undertaking such a job complained e.g. about the lack of professional and personal development, low probability of being employed or unsatisfactory payment. According to the students surveyed, the most important characteristic of a librarian working in a small commune library is the knowledge in the field of readership and modern library science. Valued capabilities of a librarian working in a small library are most of all: conducting documentation, obtaining funds for the library, managing the library and cultural and social animation activity. As many as 90% of the respondents believe that their so-far obtained academic education has prepared them to work in a small commune library. According to the students surveyed, the academic subjects that are most adequate for the educational needs of prospective small library workers are: librarianship and library automation (belonging to the broad field of librarianship) as well as readership. A small group of the students surveyed wrote their MA theses on small commune libraries. The features of internship considered the most important by the respondents are: acquisition and development of professional skills, broadening the knowledge acquired during the course of studies, and good work organization. Less than 30% of the students took their internship in a small commune library. Almost all of them believe that the internship was an essential component of their education. Some of the abilities that the students most often acquired or perfected during their internship are: conducting documentation, managing the library, managing the users, research on the users’ and local community’s needs. The analysed opinions allow the conclusion that the so-far obtained academic education by all means prepares the students of the Institute of Scientific Information and Library Science of the Pedagogical University of Krakow to work in commune public libraries.

Information culture and school libraries in local communities was the subject of a workshop for librarian-teachers which took place in March 2010 in Sucha Beskidzka. The main organizers of the workshop were the Institute of Scientific Information and Library Science of the Pedagogical University in Krakow, and W. Goetel Schools in Sucha Beskidzka. The aim of the meeting was consolidation of the librarian circles in the Suski poviat, and confrontation of the future librarians – students of the Institute – with teachers employed in the region in various types of libraries. The particularly highlighted topics were those of librarians' participation in didactic and educational projects, and of developing information culture in the local community. The Media Library of the Suski poviat, based in W. Goetel Schools, was presented as an example of best practice in school librarianship during the International Workshop Information Literacy Development in the School Sector, which took place in June 2011 in the Institute of Scientific Information and Library Science of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The workshop was a part of the international project EMPATIC (EMPowering Autonomous Learning Through Information Competencies).

Advis pour dresser une bibliothèque by Gabriel Naudé possesses features that make this work especially attractive for a “book anthropologist”. The author searches for holistic principles that would enable the understanding of the timeless values in the work of a librarian. He points to the psychological contents that motivate a book-lover – and every reader. The advice, instructions and statements presented by Naudé were neither easy nor simple for his contemporaries, but it is owing to Advis… that the profession of a librarian has become more of an art than a simple routine craft. According to Naudé, while buying books, a librarian should present cleverness and sagacity, in order not to squander money away but purchase the right items. Librarians must be educated in many fields and must know the methods of storing and repairing books, but – eventually – their professional success is determined by the curiosity of the world, the intuition, the hobbyist passion and the love of books, which cannot be grasped by the fixed framework of the job. Thus a librarian should try – as early as possible – to understand the psychological aspects of the collecting passion, and recognize the secrets, whims and preferences of the readers.

The clients of modern libraries have precisely defined needs, and the existence of libraries depends on the way in which those needs are satisfied. An unquestionable determinant of the library functioning is the adoption of a client-friendly orientation. Ignoring the demand for new forms of services, the quality of service and a different work-style of the modern information users will inevitably lead to the realization of the catastrophic scenarios of school and library development. A library is not an institution that merely serves gathering, storing and granting access to information; it is not a centre for transmitting and processing data. Such thinking, typical of informatics, devastates the ideology of library and entitles local authorities to make motions to close libraries and promote exclusively electronic forms of communication. Therefore the challenge to the modern libraries is to work out new forms and methods of cooperation with the information users of the post-modern era, and to harmonize those methods with the process of creating the organizational culture of a client-oriented library. However, it is not necessary to invent everything from scratch. Many interesting suggestions and solutions can be found in the work of libraries functioning in countries that possess longer and richer experience in this field.

Since the very beginning of the educational reform in Poland, the Polish Ministry for Na-tional Education, Parliamentary Commission for National Education, various NGO’s and companies working in the field of education and information technology have been promoting a project known as Interkl@sa [Interclass]. The project has been initiated by Grażyniszewska, Member of the Polish Parliament. One of its objectives is to introduce informa-tion technology to all educational activities at schools. Students should develop praskills and learn how to collect, process and use information. Thus, the project has been cre-ated in order to prepare children for independent life in the age of information; it promotes schools which transform into centres for implementing the idea of the information Society. The integral part of the project is to promote the so-called didactic information or media centres in Polish schools. The term media centre was used for the first time in the USA in 1969 to describe the modern school library defined as ‘the centre for studying at school, providing students and teachers with the full range of printed and audiovisual materials, the necessary equipment and services provided by librarians and media specialists’. Many models of such centres have been created. In one of the first models, let us call it the Information Centre, the main emphasis is put on enriching the collections of books with multimedia materials and educational software, which - just like books and other educational media collected in the school library - can be borrowed out or used in the reading-room or the computer-room. The second model, the Centre for Computerised Information, prefers to base the activities of the liel fulfils the expectations of the teachers who are starting to use information technologyin the classroom. The third model, the so-called Didactic Information Centre, is the most useful for the programme of general education. Such a centre has a planned ctic objectives of the school; its workers are obliged to run systematic training sessions, not only for students.

In the field of documentary culture, practically no research is carried out, but this concept should be of great importance for many employees of a given institution, and especially for those who create or put documents into circulation. not only for employees of accounting services. Accounts are kept in every institution that conducts business activity. Documents provide information that is recorded in these books. Accounting employees deal with the entries. Bookkeeping provides a lot of financial information that comes from entries in the books of accounts. The basis for these entries is a correct document, which constitutes an accounting document. We want to analyze accounting documents and the resulting entries in the accounting books. We will discuss the characteristics of a correct document that affect reliable and true information resulting from the books of accounts. We characterize the information needs in a unit running a business, based on the example of a university. We will look at what constitutes a documentary culture or its lack. Taking care of the correctness of the document from which the accounting information results often creates conflicts between the accounting services and other employees of the entity. That is why it is so important to understand what a document is for correct information and how easy it is to distort information by neglecting or even falsifying a document or document description.

The article outlines the main principles of the cooperation between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland in the field of protection and preservation of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It emphasizes that its activation was facilitated by the inclusion of the unique joint Ukrainian-Polish cross-border nomination of the Wooden churches of the Carpathian region of Ukraine and Poland (eight of them in each country) in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This was preceded by the painstaking joint work of Ukrainian and Polish scholars, religious figures, the public and managers, which lasted for over six years. Thus, sixteen wooden churches located on both sides of the border were selected from 44 “applicants”. The churches were built in the foothills of the Carpathians, in the western part of Ukraine, and in the northern and high mountain range of the Eastern Carpathians. The proposed church ensembles represent four regional schools of folk architecture: Hutsul, Lemkos, Galicia and Boykos. The Hutsul school is characteristic of only Ukrainian churches, the Lemkos school of Polish churches; Galician and Boykos are characteristic of two countries. The specified event made it necessary to comply with the requirements of international legislation in this field and the joint responsibility of Ukraine and Poland in the context of the protection and preservation of the UNESCO site both as a whole and its individual elements – wooden churches, which are extremely vulnerable, especially in view of the fire protection. In accordance with the recommendation of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, a joint management body was created – the Ukrainian-Polish International Restoration Council, which oversees the aforementioned issues. Currently, in the conditions of the Russian Federation’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland has proven itself to be the most reliable partner of our country in the protection of cultural heritage. The support of Poland both at the state level and at the level of civil society is extremely important for Ukraine, which defends the independence of not only its own state, but also makes maximum efforts to preserve world civilization. Without a doubt, the humanitarian component can be considered a peculiar core of Ukrainian-Polish cooperation.
