Scientific Information Department
The department provides access for the Institute's employees and higher education students to a range of information resources.
Scientific Library
The Institute's library was founded in 1931. At its inception, the collection was based on the personal scientific library of Oleksandr Bogomoletz. It contains both ancient rare editions and modern scientific literature dedicated to problems of physiology, molecular and cellular biology, and neurophysiology. The library provides free internet access and operates an interlibrary loan service. The collection includes over 100,000 items, more than two-thirds of which are scientific periodicals. Part of the collection was created through donations from employees.
The electronic library catalog and new editions can be found at this link.
The library is located on the third floor of the laboratory building and is open on weekdays from 10:00 to 17:00. Photocopying services are available if needed.
