KNOWN, YET UNDISCOVERED. INTRODUCTION TO THE QUESTIONS OF MUSEUM LIBRARIES IN POLAND

Abstract

The phenomenon of a museum library in Poland is the only topic of the present paper. Addressed to the academics dealing with the issues related to museum organization or collection development, it is also, or maybe first of all, targeted at the higher-ranking management staff, since it does not only offer an introduction to the discussed issue, but also an attempt at mapping problematic questions along the relation: parent museum – museum library, as well as challenges connected with legal solutions and the museum librarian job.
