Issue 2 | Volume 17 | 2024

We present the latest issue of the “Medical Library Forum”, in which current challenges of academic libraries are juxtaposed with a look back on some interesting matters from the past. In this issue, you will find articles about tools designed by librarians themselves which optimise the processes of registering and reporting publishing records, as well as analysing data from the MNiSW and JCR journal ranking lists. You will also find an article discussing copyright protection in the context of content created with use of artificial intelligence – a topic of great significance for both creators and users of new technologies. For enthusiasts of the history of medicine, we have an interesting story about the recovered old printed books from the collection of the bibliophile and pharmacist Teofil Tugendhold, as well as an article detailing the history of the “New Warsaw Diary” – one of the few Polish scientific journals published in early 19th century Warsaw. Wishing you a good and inspiring read -- the Editorial Team.
