It describes the changes that it was been undergoing since the Library had been incorporated into the structures of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. Apart from presenting the main scientific institutions and establishments which were continuing partners, the article discusses the challenges and problems connected with the international exchange that the Scientific Library faced in that period. The decrease in the number of the titles sent as well as the co-operating institutions was a result of a limited number of the magazine copies acquired by the Library for the exchange. The fact that certain titles completely ceased to be published also led to the end of the exchange with many entities. The dynamic conversion of the magazines into an electronic form, making them available on the Internet and cuttting the costs are the main reasons for the changes in the way the international exchange has been carried out by the Scientific Library in recent years.
