Item Problems in the Management and Operation of Academic Libraries in Poland during the Transiton Period(1994) Jazdon, Arturlibraries in Poland proves that old organizational structures, procedures and habits should all go or be changed. To accelerate this change, changes in legal regulations and library legislation are necessary, and an increase in resources allocated to science and education unavoidable. Our ultimate goal is to maintain and develop the Library’s position as the University’s principal information provider in support of teaching and research and to enhance its standing as one of the leading academic research libraries in Poland. But, what is also very important, librarians themselves, especially senior staff and managerial staff in Polish libraries, should realize the new function of libraries and be aware of the expectations of their users and of the ways to meet them. These factors, combined with inevitable automation of library procedures, should result in the years to come in a complete change in the appearance of Polish libraries.Item Financial and personnel problems of research libraries in Poland(1995) Jazdon, ArturExplains how managers of Polish research libraries face many problems provoked by the changes which have taken place both in these institutions and in their surroundings on the one hand, and by the obsolete rules which their operations regulate. Among the most serious financial obstacles are the following: a prolonged delay in the confirmation of a library's budget; too many financial sources; financial dependence of the majority of the libraries; restrictions on self-governing, profit-oriented activities; and criteria for the allocation of funds. Among the problems connected with the personnel the following are at the top of the list: disproportional employment in the various types of libraries; inappropriate educational background; lack of certain types of qualified professional (e.g. information scientists, computer technicians); very low earnings; and the degraded status of the librarian, which discourages candidates from this profession. The management and the structure of the organization of the library are also outdated and there are too few competent professionals to make the necessary transformations efficiently. This article will introduce the reader to the main problems affecting the financial and personnel management of Polish research libraries at the academic level. In the complex arrangement of Polish libraries, the academic libraries form a significant part of the research libraries, and their book collections are unquestionably an essential component of the latter [1] in quantity as well as in quality. This is why these libraries cope with a variety of problems pertaining to the subject under discussion, which outnumber those faced by the smaller libraries at the professional research institutions.Item Zdobądź i... pozbądź się czyli uwag kilka o problemach zarządzania zbiorami w Polsce(1996) Jazdon, ArturItem WYKORZYSTANIE TECHNIKI INFORMATYCZNEJ W POLSKICH BIBLIOTEKACH NAUKOWYCH(1996) Górny, Mirosław; Jazdon, ArturThe paper contains an estimation of the library automation advancement, the quality of the computer infrastructure and the use of computer media in Polish scientific libraries on the basis of a questionnaire. 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 Virgil Gheorghiu – poetul Romaniei si al Lui Hristors(1996) Grażyńska, IulianaItem 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. The results are split with respect to the library type (academic/special) and specialization (chemistry, life sciences, technical sciences etc.). The data presented include overall volume of monographs and serials collections and the volume of yearly acquisitions. The percentage of foreign materials with English literature singled I out is also given. Additional information in this section includes data about acquisitions on the order of library users and acquisition processing time. The second group of the data includes circulation statistics, the number of unsatisfied requests, estimations of collections use, interlibrary loans statistics and collection pruning policies. In addition, there is an information about studies of users needs, easy access policies (e.g. Saturday and Sunday opening hours and loans on weekend days).Item The implementation of information technology projects in Polish research and academic libraries in the early 1990 s. 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. A. Mickiewicza, 1997) Górny, Mirosław; Jazdon, Artur; Nowak, PiotrThe paper includes the results of a poll rating the number and utilization of printed resources in Polish scientific libraries. The results, which have been presented by field groups (i.e.. chemical, biological, technical libraries, e tc . etc.) as well as by function groups (specialist and academic libraries), concern the number of resources including both books and journals. The authors provide the number o f foreign language collections and English language collections making a clear distinction between these two categories. The figures illustrating the annual increase of these sources have also been supplied. In addition, the article offers some data concerning the following problems: range of collecting materials which have been ordered at the readers' request, time of preparing new collections for use. number o f loans, number of orders that did not take effect, collection utilization rating, number of interlibrary loans as well as the extent of selecting collections. Finally, the poll reveals information on the number of libraries researching the readers’ needs, number of libraries offering their collections for use on Saturdays and Sundays, and number of libraries which provide special loan opportunities (e.g.. weekend loans).Item SPRAWOZDANIA I INFORMACJE. INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL “BALKANS BETWEEN EAST AND WEST” (8 - 27.06.1998, Ochryd, Republika Macedonii)(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 1998) Żyromski, Marek; Hatłas, JerzyItem Selected indicators of the range and use of printed resources in Polish academic libraries(1999) Górny, Mirosław; Jazdon, Artur; Nowak, PiotrReports the results of a survey rating the amount and degree of the utilisation of printed materials in Polish academic libraries. The results which are presented by type (for example chemical, biological, technical libraries etc.) as well as by function (research libraries and libraries of educational institutions), concern the number of materials, including both books and periodicals. The authors include the amount of material in English as well as in other foreign languages. Figures illustrating the annual increase of these materials are also included. In addition, the article offers data which cover a number of * issues, including the range of materials which were ordered at the request of users, the time of cataloguing, the number of loans, the number of unfilled orders, the extent of the utilisation of the collections, the number of interiibrary loans, as well as the relegation of outdated materials. Finally, the survey reveals information on the number of libraries which research into user needs, the number of libraries which are open on Saturdays and Sundays, and the number of libraries which provide special services such as weekend loans.Item Na marginesie wystawy ''Polacy w Rumunii - 60 rocznica''(2000) Grażyńska, IulianaItem Finanse bibliotek uniwersyteckich w Polsce - Problemy i propozycje(2000) Jazdon, ArturThe author turns the attention to the lack of an institution that could make proposals and decisions about funding of academic libraries. Simultaneously, there are no standards of libraiy performance for the purpose of library evaluation. Current scheme of university financing with the funds divided into departments complicates the problem of overall costs including central libraiy funding. Another disadvantages of the situation of the central university libraries include their organisational placement and rules of financing. The author proposes initiating of the state programs supporting particular projects and tasks, modifications of the policies of the Scientific Research Committee (KBN), more active search of funding (including KBN grants) and cost reductions in libraries.Item Normy, standardy, wskaźniki w zarządzaniu zbiorami(BIBLIOTEKA GŁÓWNA AKADEMII EKONOMICZNEJ W KRAKOWIE, 2001) Jazdon, ArturPreconditions that must be fulfilled while attempting to formulate indices concerning collections management are presented in the publication. Questions that should be answered are listed: how to make a calculation, how should the indices be constructed, is it possible to construct universal indices. An attempt was made to select a group of indices that could be calculated. The publication also presents a suggestion of introducing four basic indices and an explanation which purposes and whom the indices could be useful for in practice.Item O próbie wyznaczenia standardów dla polskich bibliotek naukowych(2003) Jazdon, Artur; Jazdon, KrystynaItem Badania potrzeb użytkowników Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Poznaniu (Cz.1)(2003) Spaleniak, Alicja; Szerksznis, ŻanetaArtykuł przedstawia wyniki badań użytkowników Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Poznaniu, które przeprowadziłyśmy n a przełomie maja i kwietnia 2002 roku w oparciu o program Libra Priority Search. Badania pozwoliły na ocenę poziomu zadowolenia klientów z usług oferowanych przez agendy Biblioteki, zarówno tych tradycyjnych dostępnych w czytelniach i wypożyczalniach, jak i usług elektronicznych dostępnych ze strony domowej Biblioteki, takich jak informacja katalogowa dostępna przez katalog online, dostęp do prenumerowanych czasopism elektronicznych i bazy danych, tj.: bibliografii dziedzinowych i narodowych. Miały one na celu rozpoznanie potrzeb czytelników, ustalenie słabych i mocnych stron biblioteki. Czy nasza oferta odpowiada oczekiwaniom otoczenia akademickiego i czy sposób oferowania, dystrybucji naszych usług jest odpowiedni? We wstępie omówiona została 3-częściowa ankieta, składająca się : z metryki , z listy 11 usług bibliotecznych, oraz z listy 22 potrzeb wyłonionych przez czytelnika. Umówiono również sposób przetwarzania danych danych przez oprogramowanie Libra. W części drugiej pt.: „Zadowoleni i niezadowoleni czytelnicy” omówiono poziom satysfakcji z usług oferowanych przez Bibliotekę Uniwersytecką oceniony w pięciostopniowej skali. W trzeciej części „Potrzeby ankietowanych czytelników” dokonano porównania preferencji czytelników ze względu na kierunek i lata studiów, częstotliwość korzystania, etc. Wyniki badań ankietowych prowadzonych w roku akademickim 2001/2002 odniesiono do raportu Instytutu Socjologii UAM wykonanego na zlecenie JM Rektora.Item KWESTIA BOGATYCH POCHÓWKÓW KOBIECYCH W ANTYCZNEJ TRACJI(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2004) Hatłas, JerzyThe article discusses the most important opinions of Bulgarian scholars on rich women burials in ancient Thracia. Analysis of subsequent sites, along with the newest archaeological discoveries (in particular, a burial from mound 47 at Smjadovo), makes possible to conclude that such burials really existed on the discussed territory, or at least on its part.Item Zarządzanie marką w bibliotece(Wydawnictwo Wyższej Szkoły Bankowej w Poznaniu, 2004) Jazdon, ArturItem O mnemotechnicznym przygotowaniu kazania o św. Stanisławie w “Opusculum de arte memorativa” Jana Szklarka(Instytut Badań Literackich, 2004) Wójcik, RafałItem Grobowce kopułowe w Tracji (V-III wiek p.n.e.)(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2005) Hatłas, JerzyThe article is aimed at presentation of the most important views on genesis and distribution of tholos tombs in ancient Thrace. There have been 34 such monuments discovered to date. They were not only the last-resting place for local aristocracy but played also a significant sacral role in the light of religious, mythological and eschatological beliefs of ancient Thracs.Item Bibliotekarz. Stereotyp czy wizerunek?(Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2005-06-03) Marcinkowski, PiotrObraz bibliotekarza w kinie i literaturze jest zróżnicowany, jednak zazwyczaj, niestety, odpowiada powszechnemu stereotypowi. Bibliotekarze postrzegani są jako postaci staroświeckie, nudne, zgryźliwe i bezbarwne. Aby to zmienić, należy przeprowadzić konsekwentną kampanię promowania pozytywnego wizerunku. Należy udowodnić, że budowanie społeczeństwa informacyjnego bez bibliotek i bibliotekarzy nie będzie możliwe.
