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

Nazywam się Angelika Zabiegała. Pochodzę i mieszkam w Polsce.
Jestem studentką II roku studiów magisterskich na kierunku

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

końcowej analizy. Raz jeszcze proszę o pomoc.
Pozdrawiam.
