Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to compare the use of two systems: traditional and Harvard, as well as to indicate the preferences of one of them. The core of the publication is a list of types of footnotes from selected articles published in pages of variously profiled scientific journals in the humanities („Pamiętnik Literacki”, „Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne. Seria Literacka”, „Roczniki Humanistyczne”, „Ruch Literacki”, „Teksty Drugie”) and demonstrating that bibliographic descriptions in the traditional system still give take precedence. Reflections also included statements of Polish philology students of the University of Lodz (1st year full-time, first cycle) regarding the preferences of the footnote system (traditional or Harvard).
