TeBiPol - Digital LIbrary of the Technical University of Lodz in comparison with other digital library initatives in Poland. Technical, formal and project aspects.

In the present paper the eBiPol - Digital Library of Technical University of Lodz (TUL) against the background of other such initiatives in the country, was described. The already implemented digital libraries in Poland, according to the proposed classification by other authors, divided into two categories: regional and institutional one, were briefly discussed. In addition, the character of publications provided by the digital libraries, was shown. The detailed characteristic of Digital Library of Technical University of Lodz (TUL) - eBiPol in terms of its technical, formal and framework sides, was presented too. The main objectives, which were set by the TUL Main Library, in order to make the subsequent phases of the eBiPol implementation coherent and evolutionary, were also summarized. Moreover, in the final part of the paper the future assumptions for digital libraries in Poland were taken into account.

The idea of the distributed digital libraries' network in Poland.

Digital libraries have become a big part of our reality despite many opinions to the contrary, e.g. "it does not concern us", "it will take a generation before digital libraries become a fact", etc. Undoubtedly, it will take much time, effort, research and financial means for the implementation of new technologies, however, it is high time that discussions about the very need for digital libraries ceased. It is necessary that concrete and decisive actions be taken toward creation of easily accessible digital resources, and that these activities become part of library statutes. The purpose of this article is to point out how the society, the libraries and general economy of the country can benefit from the development of such system.

Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library and standards.

The author presents the principles outlined in NISO's (National Information Standards Organization) document, entitled: "A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections" in the context of Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library. Certain conditions, as well as certain activities of project planning in the area of creation of digital resources were pointed out in these principles. It is an attempt at the comparison of American normative records with Polish professional practice. Apparently, a similar approach to metadata was used, as well as careful creation of precise and high-quality digital objects. A systematic and carefully planned data and collection management, as well as properly addressed software requirements also played an important role.
