The following article discusses theoretical and practical aspects concerning terminology in the field of librarianship by showing how new terms are coined or incorporated from other languages. It presents key librarian terminology used on the websites of leading Polish academic libraries aiming to assess the extent of the influence of the English language on the Polish librarianship jargon. The analysis draws on fundamental terms selected from five websites and discusses their etymology. Three main trends – neologisms, borrowings and semanticisms – are shown and illustrated with appropriate examples.
