Abstract
Reports 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interiibrary loans, as well as the relegation of outdated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.
