The growth of digitization initiatives in Poland is extremely robust, with new projects constantly coming to the fore and existing projects being radically expanded.\u00a0 Thus, this guide makes no pretense of total and absolute coverage of all electronic publications available on the Polish internet.\u00a0 It will undoubtedly need to be revisited in the future and updated as new sites come online.\u00a0 However, for the present day, it captures the major initiatives available, and hopefully will be of use to researchers seeking access to full-text items in Polish.<\/p>\n
Polish e-books and Polish electronic-format periodicals on the open Web<\/h3>\n
Locating Polish electronic books and periodicals on the internet is facilitated by two services provided by Nowy EBIB <\/em> ( Elektroniczny Biuletyn Informacyjny Bibliotekarzy<\/em>)<\/a>:<\/p>\n Within the site Biblioteki cyfrowe<\/em>, the information is grouped as follows:<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0National libraries Each grouping provides URLs to the appropriate locations.\u00a0 All the links are accompanied by brief annotations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within the site Open Access of particular interest is:<\/p>\n Here you can find the English language version <\/a><\/p>\n This site provides the most complete information on the digital holdings of Polish digital libraries and repositories linked within the PIONIER <\/a> network, and allows for access to these materials.<\/p>\n The materials collected by the library are created by a number of scholarly and public institutions, such as universities, libraries, archives, museums, and research centers.\u00a0 The scanned documents are of all types: monographs, periodicals, fine art works, maps, music, as well as artifacts of public and political life.<\/p>\n The FBC site is maintained by the Pozna\u0144skie Centrum Superkomputerowo-Sieciowe <\/a> affiliated with the Instytut Chemii Bioorganicznej PAN, and its development is conducted by Zesp\u00f3\u0142 Bibliotek Cyfrowych PCSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n The main goals of the above service are as follows: FBC provides the following services:<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Simple and complex searches within the existing and planned digital entities The data are made available free of charge and users are not required to contribute their digitized publication to the FBC repository.\u00a0 Federacja Bibliotek Cyfrowych fulfills the role of a service allowing to locate holdings of digitized publications distributed through out various Polish digital libraries, however it is not meant as a platform to publish these holdings.\u00a0 That is why IchB PAN PCSS (FBC\u2019s parent institution) relinquishes any responsibility <\/em> for the materials published in the digital libraries accessible trough FBC. The FBC service is based on the OWOC programming, as well as the exchange of metadata developed within the works of the project dLibra<\/a>.<\/p>\n Federacja Bibliotek Cyfrowych provides the following capabilities: Searching options: The function Search by description ( wyszukiwanie wg opisu <\/em> ) allows for searching bibliographic descriptions of digital publications which are: It is possible to search using an entire description or by its part (such author, title, keywords).\u00a0 The user is directed from the search results to the page where the item is stored. \u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Type of publication (already available, or planned) The form of search by identifier (wg identyfikatora) allows to locate a digital item on the basis of its unique OAI (Open Archives Initiative) identifier.\u00a0 The format of the identifier is as follows: For example:<\/p>\n oai:www.wbc.poznan.pl:8711 <\/a><\/p>\n Advanced search combines the ability of searching available and planned items, adding the possibility of constructing compound logical search strings based on Boolean operators.<\/p>\n Browsing <\/strong><\/p>\n This part of the site allows for browsing the following types of items: Digital libraries <\/strong><\/p>\n Within this section of the site we find, among others: In the listing of Polish digital libraries <\/em> we find alphabetically by name: Clicking on the name of a digital library directs the user to information about the library, including a link to its homepage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Periodicals <\/strong><\/p>\n Czasopisma polskie w wersji cyfrowej <\/a> \u2013 an alphabetical list of digital journals, Polish or connected with Poland, available in various Polish digital libraries. <\/strong><\/p>\n e-Kolekcja Czasopism Polskich <\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n The goal of the project is ensuring a broad access to the leading titles of the Polish press and Polish scholarly journals by their digitization.\u00a0 It is a joint undertaking of the Biblioteka Narodowa (BN) and Biblioteka Uniwersytecka (BUW) in Warsaw.<\/p>\n The project focuses on digitizing microform copies of periodicals, rather than the hard-copy originals. This is driven by the equipment available to BUW and the rich collection of periodical microforms of BN.\u00a0 The National Library has been preserving and completing runs of Polish periodicals on microfilm for over 40 years and has thus secured over 3000 complete runs of periodicals, not held by any other Polish institution.\u00a0 The digitization project is intended to provide access to this unique collection for patrons who do not have access to BN stacks.<\/p>\n The results can be viewed on the home pages of BUW and BN.\u00a0 The creators go to great lengths to assure the good quality of scans and simplicity and logical search format.\u00a0 The sites use tables of contents, which allow for broader searches (by year, volume, article).\u00a0 If all the parts of the citation are missing a simple search (year, volume) is available, but it is augmented by providing thumbnails of all pages of a particular periodical.<\/p>\n Until 2005 this project was conducted by and financed solely by BUW.\u00a0 In 2006 the project was joined by the libraries of Muzeum Sportu i Turystyki and those of Szko\u0142a G\u0142\u00f3wna Handlowa in Warsaw. On their initiative and financial support large runs of Przegl\u0105d Sportowy<\/strong>, Przegl\u0105d Gospodarczy <\/strong> and \u017bycie Gospodarcze <\/strong> were digitized.\u00a0 Also the following titles were digitized:<\/p>\n 1. Ateneum. [w zasobach e-bUW] – Warszawa: 1876-1898. Work on transferring the holdings (zasoby<\/strong>) e-KCzP to e-bUW.\u00a0 Titles and\/or years transferred from e-KCzP are clearly marked.\u00a0 Please note: there may be problems in using the collections of e-KCzP in the DjVu format when using Mozilla Firefox.\u00a0 In such cases the users should use other browsers.<\/p>\n Polish Press on the Internet <\/strong><\/p>\n Prasa w Internecie <\/a> is a joint project of Biblioteka Instytutu Literatury Polskiej and Instytut Kultury Polskiej UW.<\/p>\n This project of digitizing periodicals was at its inception in 2000 the first attempt in Poland to create a model for digital presentation of archival periodical holdings.\u00a0 Until then there had been no attempts to digitize 19th-century periodicals.<\/p>\n As the pilot attempts two journals were selected, Tygodnik Ilustrowany and Chimera.\u00a0 The choice was dictated by the overall quality of the journals, as well as their rich illustrative matter.<\/p>\n Also, both journals varied greatly in their format, so their choice allowed for testing of the available technology and the methods of presenting of old imprints in the digital medium.\u00a0 Tygodnik Ilustrowany was considerably larger in its format than Chimera, thus its scans produced files of much larger size, which affected the speed of the image transmission.\u00a0 This is of particular importance in Polish internet networks which often do not allow for high-speed download.\u00a0 The project creators experimented with various methods of compressing the files to overcome this problem.<\/p>\n In the case of Chimera the entire run of the periodical which appeared irregularly in the years 1901-1907 was digitized.\u00a0 This amounted to 10 volumes (30 issues, over 5, 500 pages).\u00a0 In the case of Tygodnik Ilustrowany, due to the challenges of the format, only the first 7 years (1859-1865) were included.<\/p>\n Both of these publications are quite rare and almost no libraries own the entire runs. Thus for the purposes of the project the holdings of the following libraries were used: Biblioteka Instytutu Literatury Polskiej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Instytut Kultury Polskiej Wydzia\u0142u Polonistyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Biblioteka Instytutu Bada\u0144 Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk, and Biblioteka G\u0142\u00f3wna Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.<\/p>\n The issues displayed on the site contain hypertext cross-references which greatly aid in navigation, and return to previously viewed images. Hypertext indexes of the contents of particular volumes are provided.\u00a0 In the case of Chimera there is also available a database showing the contents of the periodical.\u00a0 The database is constructed on the basis of the makwww software, a product of the Biblioteka Narodowa.\u00a0 The site provides points of access for color illustrations, both covers and lithographic inserts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wprost <\/a> \u2013 This periodical allows for free search of its archive starting with 1998.\u00a0 Full text access is unlimited, except for the latest four issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gazeta Wyborcza <\/a> \u2013 The popular \u201eWyborcza\u201d offers access to its archives going back to 1989.\u00a0 Through several options of electronic payment one can gain access to full text of articles for different periods of time.\u00a0 The range varies from one access of 5, 60, 200 minutes, to seven days.
