Powszechna Wystawa Krajowa, zorganizowana w Poznaniu w 1929 r. była największym wydarzeniem wystawienniczym w historii II Rzeczypospolitej. Mając za cel pokazanie dorobku niepodległej Polski, była przeglądem jej osiągnięć w zakresie przemysłu, polityki, kultury, rolnictwa. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie najważniejszych materiałów – katalogów, książek, fotografii, czasopism, które zostały wydane z okazji Wystawy, lub które o niej wspominają. Analiza wybranych publikacji pozwala zapoznać się szczegółowo z treściami prezentowanymi na poszczególnych ekspozycjach. Wiele publikacji miało również odgrywać rolę edukacyjną. Część z nich była opracowaniami historycznymi, a część stanowi dziś świadectwo o ówczesnej sytuacji społeczno-polityczno-kulturalnej w Polsce, dzięki czemu mogą być uznane jako źródła do badań historycznych z dzisiejszej perspektywy. Materials regarding the Polish General Exhibition in 1929 in the collection of the Greater Poland Digital Library The Polish General Exhibition organized in Poznań in 1929 was the biggest exhibition in the history of the Second Polish Republic. Its goal was to showcase the achievements of independent Poland, and present a review of its accomplishments in the areas of industry, politics, culture, and agriculture. The article aims at presenting the most important materials: catalogs, books, photographs, and magazines, which were published to celebrate the Exhibition or contain references to it. The analysis of selected publications allows one to gain detailed insights into the content of particular displays. Many publications were also meant to play an educational role. Some of them were historical studies, and some are now the testimony of the social, political, and cultural situation in Poland back then, which means they can be treated as sources for historical research from the contemporary point of view.

This chapter describes how the California Digital Library (CDL) supports the thousands of electronic journals, databases, collections and reference works that are licensed by CDL on behalf of the ten campuses of the University of California (UC). Three key components are vital to the success of this activity: the involvement of librarians at all the campuses to monitor and evaluate UC’s electronic resources; CDL’s internal processes for working with vendors; and CDL’s requirements documents which emphasize both technical standards and best practices. By sharing these processes and documents, the authors hope to provide a foundation for developing practices to work successfully with vendors and ensure quality for library patrons.

This paper describes the history of the University of California eScholarship program, a joint effort of the University of California Libraries in collaboration with the California Digital Library. It discusses the context that gave rise to the creation of the eScholarship Repository, the logistical issues involved in setting up a multi‐campus persistent repository for scholarly output, and future issues to be addressed in developing experimental reconfigurations of the components of scholarly communication in collaboration with communities of scholars.
