Purpose/Thesis: The development of personal information management (PIM) suggests a new area of interest for library and information science (LIS) practitioners and researchers. Basing on the research the article investigates the application of technological solutions for PIM in LIS.Approach/Methods: In the presented research, the critical analysis of the literature was used to explain the relationship between PIM and LIS and to prepare an empirical study focused on the perception of the usefulness of PIM tools in the area of LIS practice and research. The empirical study was conducted with a mixed methodology encompassed both quantitative and qualitative methods.Results and conclusions: The analysis showed that the solutions offered by the LIS practitioners and researchers in the field of PIM have already been correctly defined. Some initiatives in the field of open access, digitization of collections, modernization of integrated library systems or the implementation of ICT in education are already being implemented. However, LIS practitioners and researchers are primarily perceived as offering high-quality, verified and truthful information accessible through applications, digital platforms and other modern technological solutions. Originality/Value: Presented results may inspire LIS practitioners and researchers to further development of the offer of their institutions.

Thesis/Objective – This paper presents the results of bibliometric analysis of the metadata of 16095 articles about academic libraries published be- tween 2000 and 2019, extracted from the Library, Information Science and Tech- nology Abstracts (LISTA) database. The aim of the authors of this paper was to find out about the growth of research on academic libraries and also about the authors’ choice of the place of publica- tion (journals with and without IF). Method – In order to achieve the set goals, the following research methods were used: bibliometric analysis, method of do- cument analysis, method of literature review, comparative method. Results – The study confirmed that the journals with IF, despite some doubt regarding the Im- pact Factor as such, enjoyed a growing interest of authors throughout the whole analysed period, while the number of articles published in journals without IF clearly decreased.

Wątki ideologiczne w ofercie wydawniczej Stowarzyszenia Bibliotekarzy Polskich do 1956 roku Reaktywacji Związku Bibliotekarzy Polskich w Krakowie w 1945 r.1 towarzyszyła pilna potrzeba wznowienia działań zmierzających do odbudowy polskiego bibliotekarstwa, regulacji najważniejszych spraw zawodowych, zabezpieczenia zbiorów bibliotecznych, a także opracowania pierwszych pozycji przygotowujących do wykonywania zawodu. Istotną rolę w tym zakresie odegrał Związek Bibliotekarzy i Archiwistów Polskich (w latach 1946-1953; od 1954 r.-Stowarzyszenie Bibliotekarzy Polskich), organizujący struktury terenowe oraz przygotowującyw trudnym dla wydawców okresie centralizacji ruchu wydawniczego w Polscepodstawowe publikacje warsztatowe pomocne w przygotowywaniu przyszłych adeptów zawodu. Równolegle z uruchomieniem działalności bibliotecznej w Polsce rozpoczęto starania związane z utworzeniem wyższych studiów bibliotekarskich. W 1945 r. kształcenie przyszłych bibliotekarzy rozpoczęto na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim, gdzie organizatorem studiów był prof.

The main objective of this article is to show the evolution of the LIS education in Poland, from the first forms of education programmes for librarians to the current situation. The author, using the method of document analysis and the deductive method, selected the most important dates, facts and factors that had an impact on the Polish LIS education. The study showed that in the field of LIS, the Polish educational market is strongly institutionalized and varies depending on the university.
