- ItemBiblioteki Wydziału Prawa i Nauk Społeczno-Ekonomicznych KUL w okresie II Rzeczpospolitej(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2017) Nowakowska, MonikaDuring the interwar period at the Faculty of Law and Social-Economic Sciences of the Catholic University of Lublin, there were three main sectional libraries: legal, economic and social. In these libraries there were book collections, also referred to as libraries, assigned to a particular seminar. They were treated as research aid for employees and students. Initially, they were supervised by professors, who decided on the shape of the collection as well as the selection of library staff. Over time, there appeared a position of librarian who managed the collections of all the seminary libraries. In the 1930s librarians were assigned to each section separately; and they were responsible, among others, for cataloguing books and periodicals, making the collection available, providing research information, repairing damaged books, doing bookkeeping and arranging duty hours for scholarship holders. Seminar book collections increased as new books were bought and donated. The most important donations were books offered by the Main Library of the University of Lublin and Professor A. Szymański, a lecturer from the Faculty of Law and Social-Economic Sciences.
- ItemPlaton i Arystoteles – bibliofile(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2017) Warda, ElwiraThere is a wealth of information about the existence of libraries in antiquity. Historical sources indicate that already in the 6th century BC two Greek tyrants: Peisistratos of Athens and Polycrates of Samos had small collections. There had to be favourable conditions which allowed for establishing libraries. At the turn of the 4th century BC, sophists came to Athens and prepared citizens for public life. Then a new political structure was formed-democracy, which required education and knowledge from Athenians. There was the increased demand for such a model of education that would shape a human-citizen. At that time in Athens, numerous philosophical and rhetorical schools were founded. The creation of book collections was influenced by various factors. One of the book lovers was Plato, who founded his own school of philosophy, the Academy in Athens around 387 BC. We know that Plato collected and systematically enlarged his book collection, but it seems that his library was not too extensive. Aristotle of Stagira, the creator of the Athenian philosophical school, is considered to have been the first book collector. He held his collection in Lyceum, which was acquired by him around 335 BC.
