Współczesne „Libri mundi”. Komunikacja, edukacja, biblioteka w warunkach wielokulturowości

The idea of the so-called “liber mundi”, that is, a book that gathers all human knowledge, allows to travel at will in space and time as well as to speak various languages, goes back to the Middle Ages. The development of science and technology as well as the process of globalisation result in the “shrinking” of the contemporary world. We live in a reality where for the first time the ideas from five centuries ago have a chance to become reality, where knowledge, books, education and communication interpenetrate each other in a multicultural “global web”.
