Every book has its own card in the library catalog. Every brochure, magazine, map, poster, even a card. It does not matter whether it is a paper card or an online card. The information on both is always the same. They are like signposts. Thanks to them, we can find the item we are looking for on the shelf. The card tells us everything: how many pages the book has, its size in centimeters, where and when it was published and in what language. Whether it can be borrowed and what its reference number or classification is. Thanks to them, you can search for books by author, title or subject, which makes it easier to quickly find interesting materials.

The exhibition "Written in the Cards. 55 Years of the University of Gdańsk" is a selection of 55 cards from the card catalog and online catalog of the University of Gdańsk Library. The works of UG lecturers described on these cards have been collected by the Library since its inception. By looking at the cards, we follow the history of our university.

The exhibion will be presented  in the Main Library from March 18, 2025. 

The Rector of the University of Gdańsk, His Magnificence Professor Piotr Stepnowski, and the Director of UG Library, Arnold Kłonczyński, PhD, Professor UG, would like to invite you to exhibion opening, which will take place on 18 March 2025 at 11.00 a.m. at the Main Library.
