Questions of scope and effectiveness(1997) Górny, Mirosław; Jazdon, ArturReports the results of an inquiry directed at Polish academic, research and scientific libraries. An appraisal of the current IT infrastructure, degree of advances in automation in libraries, and utilization of the electronic sources has been carried out, based on the completed questionnaires received from the libraries in question. It has been recognized that the best developed IT infrastructure is to be found in the academic libraries and that they are well prepared for automation. The situation is much worse in the special libraries of the research and scientific institutes. Half of the libraries in the latter group are not engaged in any preparation for automation, mainly owing to a lack of financial resources. Also, they do not provide readers with access to sources in an electronic format. Points out that a relevant consistent programme for the implementation and utilization of IT in Polish libraries has not yet been prepared.Item Wybrane wskaźniki efektywności udostępniania zasobów drukowanych w polskich bibliotekach naukowych(Instytut Lingwistyki Uniwersytetu im.

The university libraries are generally more advanced in their efforts for automation and access to computer media. Special libraries serving the research institute are much less advanced in this field due to lack of adequate funding: half of them did not start preparation for introducing automated systems and did not introduce computer media in their collections and services. The authors stress that there exists no unified program of library automation for scientific libraries.Item Zasób dokumentów drukowanych polskich bibliotek naukowych i ich wykorzystanie w latach 1991-94(1997) Górny, Mirosław; Jazdon, ArturThe paper contains results of the questionnaire study targeted at estimation of printed materials resources and their use in Polish research libraries.
