We are delighted to announce that the Journal of Librarianship and Information Science has published an article co-authored by Anna Mierzecka, Magdalena Paul, and Małgorzata Kisilowska-Szurmińska.
The publication is titled: “Public libraries’ role in supporting Ukrainian refugees: A focus on Hungary and Poland".
The head of LBM UW, Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, is a co-author of a recently published article in Nature Human Behaviour, diagnosing the surprising fact that efforts to combat disinformation may unintentionally contribute to increasing citizens' distrust of all media messages, including those that are credible.
We encourage you to read:

Poles want deliveries using smart drones and care robots, but they are afraid of autonomous cars – these are the conclusions of a survey conducted by the Laboratory of Media Studies at UW dedicated to artificial intelligence. At the same time, Poles do not see the need to regulate this area by law, and a significant part of them has not yet encountered this issue at all. - It is possible that the term "robot" primarily brings to mind the adjective "kitchen" – admits Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, head of the Laboratory of Media Studies.
