Definitions which are the most popular • Bibliography: a systematic list or enumeration of written works by a specific author or on a given subject, or that share one or more common characteristics (language, form, period, place of publication, etc.). Resource: ODLIS. OnlineDictionary for Library and Information Science, by Joan M. Reitz, [15/04/2014] http://www.abc-clio.com/ODLIS/odlis_b.aspx • Bibliographicmethodologyisthemethod of preparingthoselists
Bibliographicmethod • Creatingbibliographic descriptions, and aftertheir logical ordering composing lists (the creation of bibliographies) • Decomposeexisting inventories (with features of a bibliography) on individual units and their interpretation of what might be called an analysis of lists ofdocuments. • Bibliographiccitationanalysis
Stages of bibliographicalresearch • Cutting inventory / catalogon individual bibliographicdescriptions. • Completingthe missing elements using the bibliographies, directories, electronic databases atpresent.
Stages of bibliographicalresearch 3. Groupingof individual bibliographic records according to accepted criteria: authorship, chronology, territory, language, type of document, content or publisher. This stage is incorrectlycalled the statistical method used in the analysis of bookcollections. 4. Data interpretation.
Examples of historicalbookcollections from Włocławek • Franciscan-reformers monastery libraryestablished in 1625 in Włocławek and first catalog in 1655 • Seminarlibraryestablishedin 1569 and first catalogfrom 1825 • Privatelibrary of Bishop Kalisz-Kujawy Diocese Vincent TheophilusChosciak Popiel the state of 1880 year

The church and the monastery of franciscian-reformers in Włocławek
The library of franciscian-reformers in Włocławek • The creation of librarybegan in 1625 • Monkswereobligated to collectbooks form 1642 • The firstcatalogconsist of 590 manuscripts, prints and forbiddenbooks • At present a part of thiscollectionis in seminarlibrary in Włocławek, also we canfindsomeprints in Warszawa, Poznań and Gdańsk.
The value of private and intitutionalindexes • The indexesarevaluablesource of data whichpermit to examinereadinghabits as a socialprocess of gainingknowledgeabout the literaryoutput. • Theyrecord a selection of publicationsthataccuratelyreflect the choices and tastes of readers. • Otherindexedsources, reflectingreaders’ predilections, are: libraries of institutions, resources of bookshops, and corpusattainable in publishingfirms. Indexes, as an evidence of the most strictselection, are an outcome and reflection of readinginterests of individuals and socialgroupsinwhichtheyfunction.
In somecasesindexes of bookcollectionsprovideadditionalinformation on thehistory of reading. They: • May informusaboutunknowncopies and specifybibliograhic data; • Informuswhatfamouspersonsread and whatinfluencedthem; • Informusaboutpersonalcontacts and socialsurroundings of theowner of thecollection; • Show the approach, sentiment of the librarian to the book (special place in an index, ornamentation, form of the description, degree of book’sdamage); • Informusabouttheculture of theauthor of an index, aboutthelivingconditions of theowner of a book, aboutthehistory of a book; • Giveprices of books.
Certainly, every piece of informationtakenfrom an indexneeds a strictverificationwhichschould be based on theprinciple of thecriticaltreatment of sources.
Stages of usingbibliographicmethod to examoldinventories • To reach the desired inventories of selected persons, social groups, region. Some researchers recommend searchingin the records of notaries. • Analyzeinventory using the historical method. We need to answer the following questions: when inventory was made, who wrote it, for what purpose, whether a set is complete, etc.
3. Now we strat using the bibliographicmethod. The first step is the decomposition of inventoryon a single bibliographic descriptions. We need to knowpaleography for olderonesand neography for later, because sometimes they can be difficult to read. In some cases, we needusehistoricalmethod, typographicmethod. 4. We shouldcomplementeachbibliographicdescriptionusing: retrospectivenationalbibliography, universalbibliographies, catalogs of largelibraries, bibliogfrafiemędzynarodowe (retrospective). Evenif we have a date of printing, we shouldcheck the date of the firstedition.
5. Then we gatherallindividualbibliographicdescriptions in order which we chose for bibliography, but we usualyleave the order which was in previousinventory. 6. Supportingactionis to gatheradditionalinformationabout the person orinstitution, which was the owner of collection. We usebiographicalmethod to find out aboutoccupation, position, education, age, socialroots, interests and readingpreferencesormethod of system analyze to exam the numebr of stock, readers, number of readers, specjalizacja. 7. The lasttaskis to interpretate of data, which we gathered.

About NUKAT- http://centrum.nukat.edu.pl/ • NUKAT is a union database showing information on the holdings of Polish research and academic libraries – its content has been built since July 2002. • Each document description in NUKAT database ends with hyperlinked names of libraries holding this document – a click on the selected library name leads NUKAT user to the local database where the additional information on the document availability may be found. • At present we suggest taking the following search order: • NUKAT database, • KaRo distributed search tool, if NUKAT did not return any results, • online catalog of a given library, if KaRo did not return any results, • scanned card catalog a given library (available on its website) or the card catalog of a given library (available in the library building), if the library online catalog did not return any results, • foreign union catalogs and library online catalogs, if Polish catalogs did not return any results. • When the library catalogs did not return any results, the use of other search tools should be considered: journal contents databases, subject bibliographies, specialized search tools, full-text databases.
AboutKaRo - http://karo.umk.pl/Karo/ • KaRo is a distributed search tool collectinginformation form many Polish bibliographical catalogues. It should be considred as a complementary tool to the Polish unioncatalogue NUKAT.
