Library today
Primary tabs

The Institute of librarian-curator was organized in 2010. The Library gives a master class within the framework of the International School-Seminar «Modern pedagogical technologies in education».
In 2012, the Library initiated participation in the project «The Scientific periodicals of Ukraine» on the platform Open Journal Systems of the network «URAN» to ensure the integration of periodicals and scientific collections of NTU «KhPI» into the world authoritative databases, electronic resources directories, scientific information retrieval systems and the world scientometric databases.
In 2013 there were created 3 new departments: the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts, the Scientific and Methodological Department, the Department of Electronic Resources. The repository based on DSpace was put into operation the same year. There was also organized the distance learning course «Content Curator». In 2014, there was implemented an automated circulation in all divisions of the Library. Our Library joined the project «The Common Library Card for Kharkiv College- and Universities Libraries». There was also organized a free book exchange «Bookcrossing».
But no matter how many events we called to mind, the most important among them are completion of construction of the new building of the Library in 2012 and its official opening in September 2014.


If the capacity of the databases created in 1992–2006 amounted to 32 thousand records, then now the OPAC has more than 500 thousand records and more than 30 thousand full-text documents. Most of these documents are stored in the institutional repository of NTU «KhPI» (http://repository.kpi.kharkov.ua). Our repository quickly attained popularity among Ukrainian scientists and the world's scientific community. More than 5 million requests to the repository and to the Library website (http://library.kpi.kharkov.ua) are registered annually. More than 50 million requests are made by the information retrieval system in the electronic catalogue. According to the results of rating of the web-presence indexes among the libraries of Ukraine our Scientific Library won the 4th place in 2015. According to the results of rating of the web-presence indexes among the libraries of higher educational institutions our Library won the first place.
The motto of the Library which sounds like «We are open for comers and goers, regardless of their place of work and study» helps to attract different categories of people to the readership.
