The Library of the University of Wrocław just implemented the state-of-the-art Alma system and began co-cataloguing with the National Library of Poland. The cooperation within the nationwide librarian network, made possible due to unified rules of cataloguing, benefits both librarians, who may now manage the collections more efficiently, and readers, who gain broader, quicker and more transparent access to the information.
