In his groundbreaking book The Image of the City (1960), the American researcher Kevin Lynch, creator of the theory of mental maps, explores the urban dwellers’ mental images and the ways in which these images correspond to the material forms perceived in urban spaces. Bukowiecki argues that in the case of a city such as Warsaw, where the dramatic events of the twentieth century have completely reshaped the urban fabric, we must broaden the scope of our analyses of images of the city to include the social image of objects that are immaterial, imperceptible, or spectral. This approach to reading the city, which has much in common with grounded theory and which has been applied by architecture critics, literary scholars and ethnologists dealing with the space of Warsaw, can be described as an exercise in the haunted spatial imagination.

The article discusses the principles of collecting collections for public libraries for children and youth and school libraries. The qualitative analysis was based on the list of titles of books that were planned to buy 44 school libraries in 2014 as part of the government subsidy. The collected material is divided into the following categories: school reading, literature classics for children, poetry, fairy tales, books for children, Grzegorz Kasdepke's books, literature for children, literature, fantasy, educational books, history and biographies, and others. Most often libraries planned to buy school books, educational books (dictionaries, encyclopedias). From the literature, it was usually planned to buy fantasy books, novels for girls and works by authors such as Paweł Beręsewicz, Marcin Pałasz, Barbara Gawryluk, Renata Piątkowska, Małgorzata Strzałkowska. It was also planned to buy books that were screened and advertised in youth magazines. The analysis shows that the collections of school libraries and public libraries for children and youth respond to the reading needs of this group of recipients.

In the last few years on the book market there are more and more philosophical books intended for children, or at least ‘philosophising’. A large part of the publication of this type are picturebooks, using an image as the main carrier of information. In this article we will try to answer the question whether the adoption of such a convention – it is constructing content based not only on the text, but also as a significant image (sometimes made by the same person) can be helpful with these ‘unspeakable’ concepts. How authors and illustrators are trying to present the most general and the most difficult is-sues? Whether the use of the image would be helpful in this case, or what ‘unspeakable’ is also unillustrateable’?

The article represents an anthropological study of the "Celebrity Big Brother" aired on Nova TV from 15 September to 19 November 2014. Parts of it will be included in my thesis "Transformations of the value system of the Bulgarians in the transition period. Heroes and antiheroes. "The text considers the behavior of each participant in the program, and their value system. Described are the reasons why viewers prefer to vote for one or another occupant in the house of the reality format. In conclusion, the thesis is imposed that the fans of "Celebrity Big Brother" identify with the participants in the show, which in turn confirms that it is a scale model of the Bulgarian society.

One of the first projects of the Science Archive at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the “Digital Archive Marin Drinov” (http://www.math.bas.bg/digi/drinov/archiv.html). It was realized in cooperation with the department of Applied Information Technologies in the Humanities at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The project began back in 2006 with the scanning of 24 archival units (176 facsimiles of manuscripts, 14 printings and 15 black and white photos) from fond № 104K of the Science Archive. It is worth mentioning that the digitalization of a personal archival fond is the first of its kind in Bulgaria with respect to the technological, methodological, and classification merits of the digitalized information. The future plans of the team that undertook this project are closely related to the systematic updating of published information, in terms of quantity and thematic content, with documents reflecting the life and work of M. Drinov which are kept in the fonds of the Science Archive. This project is still viable in 2014, a year marking the 145th anniversary of the Bulgarian Literary Society (now the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.)

Creation of conditions to motivate students, teachers and scientists from different countries by including them in a network is one of the goals of the International project “Methods and Information technologies in educations” (MITE). Crowd sourcing for a research project is an interesting form for the purpose. The project began in 2018 and was directed to the elaboration of an open electronic encyclopedia of plane curves. A website “We write by ourselves” was created to support the project. Scientists were the moderators of the encyclopedia topics. They formulated problems in articles-matrices. The participants in the project tried to solve the problems and wrote articles too. They were grouped in teams consisted of students from three countries – Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Russia. Their mentors were school teachers. The present article describes the technical and methodological work of those who helped students to obtain results.
