Marzena Marcinek

Professional characteristics: I am a graduate of Cracow Technical University. I worked for the Main Library during my studies. After my graduation I started working for the Department for Scientific Information and have been working there for the last 15 years.
In 1996 I completed my post-diploma degree at the Jagiellonian University and followed up with year-long course at the International Centre for Information Management in Torun. I translated a few publications about libraries/library science from English to Polish, I participated in a number of interesting programs involving this subject.
I consider EBIB to be a very useful and helpful source of information for librarians, and its monthly issues create a very vibrant and interesting forum for the exchange of ideas within the library environment.
In private, I am a very happy and fulfilled wife and mother of three. I do believe that all joys and hardships of the family life have timeless values offering necessary distance to other aspects of life.
I wish all readers of EBIB optimistic approach to life and lots of sense of humour with a pinch of reflexion to fleeting time.....
