Maria Anna Jankowska is an academic librarian and editor. She has held library positions at the University of Idaho, the Poznań University of Economics, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and was the founding editor of the Electronic Green Journal.[1][2][3]
Education and career
[edit]Jankowska received a doctorate in economics from the Poznań University of Economics in 1983 and a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1989. In 1985, she was a guest scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.[1]
At the University of Idaho, Jankowska worked as a reference and network-resources librarian and provided instruction in the use of electronic information resources. She was profiled in Library Journal's 2002 Movers & Shakers issue.[1] During the 2004–2005 academic year, she lectured in library science at the Poznań University of Technology as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar.[4]
Jankowska served as director of the Poznań University of Economics Library.[2] She later worked as a social sciences librarian at UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library. In 2016, UCLA named her Librarian of the Year.[3] A 2025 University of California article identified her as a UCLA librarian emerita and editor-in-chief of the Electronic Green Journal.[5]
Electronic Green Journal
[edit]The Green Library Journal began as a print publication in 1991. After funding for the print journal ended, Jankowska oversaw its transition to the Electronic Green Journal, which was launched online in 1994. It was initially distributed through Gopher and later through the World Wide Web. The journal moved from the University of Idaho to UCLA in 2008. The University of California described it in 2025 as a diamond open-access journal that charged neither subscription nor author fees.[5]
Research and publications

Marcum, she wrote the 2010 article “Sustainability Challenge for Academic Libraries: Planning for the Future.”[8] She edited the 2014 book Focus on Educating for Sustainability: Toolkit for Academic Libraries.[9]
