Activities of the Library

1. Making available to scientists, Ph.D. candidates and students the own collections of books, periodicals and basic reference works in technological and engineering relations as well as the collections of another scientific libraries by acting within the existing framework of interlibrary lending.

2. Continuously garthering the components of library collections and simultaneously recording the current purchases and donations (with including the cases of interchanging between libraries) for the library collections, the recording process consists in giving merits shape to each new component of the collections. The Scientific Committee (the head of the Commitee - Prof. Zbigniew L. Kowalewski, Ph.D., D.Sc.) is responsible for purchasing decisions on books and serials.

3. Scientific information. Inducing the situation and conditions favouring the integration process of the society of creators and consumers of scientific information as well as is promoting the idea of information society.
Bibliographical information available online which is offered:
- catalog of the Library;
- databases.

4. Making a system base of data supported by automatic integrated library system Horizon.

5. Interchanging of publications between scientific organizations and institutions both native and foreign. Putting up for sale the publications of IPPT PAN.
