 New Polish Books at the UW Slavic Library

New books

coming

each month

 

Dear Polish Language Readers,

 

Each month, the Slavic Library of the University of Washington receives from 100 to 200 new items in Polish. These new positions can be seen here

http://guides.lib.washington.edu/newbooks-reecas

Clicking on individual titles retrieves more information about those titles. Individuals with a UW library card can use the lists to have the Library retrieve and hold items of interest for them to pick up at a circulation desk anywhere in the UW Library system (Seattle, Bothell or Tacoma).

Members of the general public not already affiliated with UW (faculty, staff, students, or alumni association members) can get a borrower's card valid for one year by donating $100 to the UW Libraries (see http://www.lib.washington.edu/support/friends). Those who wish can stipulate that their donation be used entirely to support new acquisitions in Polish studies.

Inquiries, comments, requests and suggestions are always welcome and may be directed to:

Michael Biggins
Slavic, Baltic, and East European studies librarian
University of Washington Libraries, Box 352900
Seattle, WA 98195-2900

Prosba o wypelnienie ankiety polonijnej

 

Dzień dobry!

 

Nazywam się Angelika Zabiegała. Pochodzę i mieszkam w Polsce. Jestem studentką II roku studiów magisterskich na kierunku Politologia o specjalności Media i Komunikacja Społeczna. W bieżącym roku akademickim, a przyszłym kalendarzowym będę miała obronę dyplomową. Piszę pracę na temat społecznego odbioru telewizji w USA i potrzebuję przeprowadzić ankietę, aby móc dokończyć pracę. Bardzo proszę o pomoc z tej kwestii poprzez wypełnienie jej i rozpowszechnienie wśród znanych Państwu osób (znajomi, rodzina, przyjaciele). Ankieta jest całkowicie anonimowa. To link do niej: http://www.ankietka.pl/ankieta/71602/television-in-the-usa.html. Jej wyniki nie będą rozpowszechniane a wykorzystane tylko do analizy na rzecz pracy. Im więcej zbiorę wyników, tym lepiej dla końcowej analizy. Raz jeszcze proszę o pomoc.

 

Pozdrawiam.
