Kto się boi Wikipedii?

Author(s): Krzysztof Gajewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02/2015

According to the opponents of Wikipedia it offers low-quality content and has led to a reduction in the level of literacy. However, studies show that Wikipedia is not inferior to Encyclopedia Britannica in terms of its substantive value, and in terms of content offers a much wider range. Meanwhile, Wikipedia outclasses Britannica in terms of social and geographical coverage because it can be accessed by those who never had a chance to touch a volume of Britannica. In a later section, we discuss the basic principles of the functioning of Wikipedia and its consequences, as well as problems, such as the high competencies necessary to properly use Wikipedia, the declining number of editors, the site’s gender gap and its geographical imbalance.

Long Term Preservation of Websites

Author(s): Alexander Herschung / Language(s): English Issue: VI/2016

The reason is that websites consist of a large number of file formats and require today’s hardware and software environment to work properly. PABLO is a software tool that processes websites and transforms them into a dramatically simplified form that is simple enough for digital archiving and exhaustive enough to preserve the websites content and appearance and allows users to browse the entire site like the original.

Tworzenie bibliotek jako działalność wspierająca wychowanie ku niepodległej Rzeczypospolitej

Author(s): Ryszard Skrzyniarz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries collectibles and collecting spread within Europe, and bibliophilia was quite common. At the end of the eighteenth century, and following the plundering of the Republic by foreign invaders, citizens began to strive for independence and many patriots worked to save the achievements of Polish culture. They created collections that became the treasuries of Polish culture. The collections were aimed at saving valuable items before their dispersal or destruction, including Polish literature e.g. documents, letters, diaries, and any records of scientific achievements. The collections also gave rise to numerous initiatives aimed at educating the Polish nation and fighting against national destruction. Throughout the nineteenth century until the First World War, libraries were created as institutions that were available not only to researchers, but gradually also to representatives of all social classes. It was a process that reflected, as in a mirror, the wider social changes taking place in Polish lands. Initially the founders of scientific libraries with a focus on the humanities came from the aristocracy and gentry, but from the mid-century, their ranks were joined by an increasing number of collectors from other professions, such as lawyers, politics, priests, teachers, and people of culture and art.

Model wykorzystania dziedzictwa kulinarnego w turystyce. Przykład Górnego Śląska

Author(s): Arkadiusz Ochmański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The term cultural heritage refers to the body of the heritage of societies produced in the process of historical development, passed from one generation to another. Its scope includes both material and non-material elements. Cuisine constitutes an important component of the second group. It is an indicator of the richness and variety of culinary heritage. Therefore it is no wonder that the state and self‑government authorities along with regional tourism organisations create initiatives whose purpose is to create an inventory of the local culinary resources and their use to promote local production in the food market, also as a value which generates the movement of tourists. Therefore it is worthwhile to observe the extent to which tourism based on the resources of culinary heritage develops. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate the model of using culinary heritage in tourism, prepared on the basis of research in subject literature and the analysis of the use of selected traditional products in Upper Silesia within the framework of the tourism-related offer of the region.

Poziomowanie linii spławnej na Kanale Augustowskim – analiza systemu śluz

Author(s): Karol Łopatecki,Adam Musiuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2025

The year 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the commencement of construction work on the Augustów Canal. This anniversary invites us to reflect on the current state of knowledge concerning the creation of one of the most interesting hydraulic engineering projects of the first half of the 19th c. This complex has survived to the present day and, as a historical monument, is considered one of the most valuable technical monuments in Poland. In this article, we would like to address several issues related to the process of geodetic determination of ground ordinates. In cartographic terms, we presented the types of maps that had the level drawing needed to determine the route of the canal and the heights of the surrounding lakes. They testify to the use of trigonometric levelling and are an important testimony to the cartographic and engineering skills involved in the process of route reconnaissance, planning and construction of the aforementioned canal.The research method was to collect period data on the drop heights (water level differences) occurring at each lock. After converting them into metric data, we compared them to the currently collected material. It turns out that the total drop from Dębowo sluice to Niemnowo sluice was 59.09 metres, which is more than three metres higher than today. These calculations show the efforts of the builders and engineers who connected the Narew River with the Nemunas along 174.2 km of the canal. These calculations also allow us to assess the value of the retrogressive method often used in historical research.
