Information management is of great importance to an organization. The quality and quantity of information influence the decision-making conditions, and with the increase in their value, the risk of failure and the uncertainty of undesirable effects are reduced. To a large extent, the accuracy of the decisions made depends on the quality of information held by the recipient. For the proper functioning of the organization, it is essential that the information acquired, processed, developed and circulated is of appropriate quality, i.e. it has a set of characteristics that determine the usefulness of information defined by the users. The article emphasizes that it is the effectiveness of the organization’s information system on which it depends to whom, in what form and on what level the information of the desired quality will be provided. Moreover, it was pointed out that it is necessary to systematically examine the information needs of the organization in order to meet the users’ expectations and the need for the organization to have the capacity to systematically reject useless information, information overload, and information selection.

Scientific objective: The purpose of this article is to examine critical areas of academic library activity, in a significant or requiring far-reaching changes in all aspects, in the context of needs of the scientific community. Research methods: It was decided that the method that will allow to outline the situation in this area will be qualitative content analysis texts from leading journals. For this purpose, the main databases of Web of Science articles have been searched: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), using the instruction TS = (“academic library” OR “academic libraries” OR “university library” OR “university libraries”) AND TS = (scholars or scientists or faculty or researchers or academics). The query limited to the last five years yielded gave as results 170 articles, of which 51 were deemed relevant to the issues discussed. Results and conclusions: In the light of qualitative content analysis of those texts, it is possible to distinguish following areas as important: general approach of scholars and librarians to cooperation, practices of research support, access to information resources adapted to scholars’ needs, data curation support, publication strategies support. On this basis, conclusions have been drawn about the role and type of support that academic libraries may provide in the process of scholarly communication. Cognitive value: This study has contributed to the research into the evaluation of academic library’s support services in the process of scholarly communication.

Przedmiotem pracy jest ocena sposobu i siły oddziaływania różnych rodzajów mass mediów na decyzje podejmowane przez ludzi i na funkcjonowanie społeczności wiejskiej. Szczególnym celem pracy jest ocena oddziaływania środków masowego przekazu na decyzje mieszkańców w sferze ekonomicznej, edukacyjnej, w sferze kultury i rozrywki. Praca zawiera część teoretyczną napisaną przy wykorzystaniu literatury i część empiryczną napisaną przy wykorzystaniu badań ankietowych 100 osobowej populacji mieszkańców odwiedzających urząd gminy. Badania potwierdziły przyjęte hipotezy o powszechnym wykorzystaniu różnych mass mediów dla pozyskania informacji przydatnych dla celów zakupowych, edukacyjnych i kulturalnych. Z badań wynika, że mieszkańcy mają wartościujący, często krytyczny, stosunek do wiarygodności informacji przekazywanych przez mass media.

The article presents the results of surveys concerning the information needs of people visiting trade fairs and the conditions for satisfying these needs on the example of the participants of KOMPOZYT-EXPO 2018 and FASTENER POLAND. The results of the surveys are preceded by an overview of literature describing the behaviours of people visiting trade fairs. The surveys were conducted during the aforementioned fairs by means of a direct questionnaire. On the basis of 98 cases qualified for analysis it was concluded, among others, that visitors during fairs look mainly for information about novelties in a given branch, about the current situation of the branch. They also look for information of an educational character. Moreover, over a half of respondents declared that they don’t prepare for participation in fairs in any specific way and when they plan the sequence of visits to particular stands, they follow mainly the invitations from exhibitors (over 54%). Summing up their presence at fairs over 30% of respondents don’t use special indicators of assessment. The described surveys, due to small size of the sample, are preliminary in character and refer to a narrow branch represented by respondents, that’s why verification based on a bigger group of respondents and representatives of other branches is required.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań potrzeb informacyjnych zwiedzających imprezy targowe oraz uwarunkowania ich zaspokajania na przykładzie uczestników targów KOMPOZYT-EXPO 2018 i FASTENER POLAND. Wyniki badań zostały poprzedzone przeglądem literatury charakteryzującej zachowania zwiedzających imprezy targowe. Badania przeprowadzono w czasie trwania wymienionych imprez z wykorzystaniem ankiety bezpośredniej. Na podstawie 98 przypadków zakwalifikowanych do analizy ustalono m.in., że zwiedzający poszukują w trakcie targów przede wszystkim informacji o nowościach w danej branży, jej aktualnej sytuacji oraz informacji o charakterze edukacyjnym. Prócz tego ponad połowa badanych deklaruje, że nie przygotowuje się do udziału w targach w żaden specyficzny sposób, a planując kolejność zwiedzania kierują się przede wszystkim zaproszeniami od wystawców (ponad 54%). Podsumowując swoja obecność na targach ponad 30% badanych nie wykorzystuje szczególnych wskaźników oceny. Opisane badania, ze względu na niewielką liczebność próby, mają charakter pilotażowy i odnoszą się do wąskiej branży reprezentowanej przez respondentów, dlatego wymagają weryfikacji na większej grupie badanych oraz przedstawicielach innych branż.
