PURPOSE/THESIS: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the smart city research field from the point of view of library and information science (LIS), based on available scholarly publications. APPROACH/METHODS: Based on the literature review, the following issues have been described: the smart city concept; the shift of smart cities from strictly technological orientation to that focused on the citizen, the role of smart governance, public libraries as a part of knowledge infrastructure and the current contribution of LIS to this research field. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Smart cities are still an emerging research domain. Not only the number of research publications is limited, but also their scope. LIS has been very little involved in a “smart city” research domain so far, and at the same time general literature on “smart cities” refers to public libraries in a very limited way. In general, there have been few attempts to relate information science and smart cities so far, and in each case researchers had problems with finding relevant literature. The most important LIS contribution to the field so far comes from the research project done by the team of experts from the Department of Information Science at Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf (Germany). ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The value of this research results from the fact, that there is very little in-depth, holistic research done in this domain by LIS researchers; hence there is almost no recognition of the role of public libraries in so-called smart cities, not only as knowledge hubs for explicit and tacit knowledge, but also as community building institutions. This paper offers first such attempt in the field.

CEL/TEZA: Celem artykułu jest scharakteryzowanie badań prowadzonych w zakresie tzw. inteligentnych miast (smart cities) z punktu widzenia bibliologii i informatologii, na podstawie dostępnej literatury naukowej. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Na podstawie analizy literatury opisane zostały takie zagadnienia, jak: koncepcja inteligentnego miasta, jej przeorientowanie z technologii na obywatela, rola inteligentnego zarządzania w mieście, biblioteki publiczne jako część infrastruktury wiedzy oraz wkład bibliologii i informatologii w aktualny stan wiedzy. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Inteligentne miasto, jako pole badawcze, nadal pozostaje w fazie kształtowania. Liczba publikacji na ten temat, jak również ich zakres są ograniczone. Bibliologia i informatologia była dotychczas w tym obszarze zaangażowana w bardzo ograniczonym stopniu, natomiast pozostała literatura odnosi się sporadycznie do bibliotek publicznych. Nieliczne próby powiązania bibliologii i informatologii z omawianym polem badawczym napotykały na problem braku literatury. Najważniejszym dotychczas zrealizowanym projektem dotyczącym tego zagadnienia było badanie przeprowadzone przez naukowców z Instytutu Informacji Naukowej Uniwersytetu Heinrich-Heine w Düsseldorfie (Niemcy). ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Wartość poznawcza tego artykułu wynika z tego, iż dotychczas opublikowano bardzo niewiele prac szczegółowo odnoszących się do omawianego tematu, których autorami byliby informatolodzy i bibliolodzy, w efekcie czego rola bibliotek w tzw. inteligentnych miastach pozostaje w zasadzie w literaturze naszej dyscypliny niepodjętym tematem. Niniejszy artykuł jest pierwszą taką próbą.
