WUT Base of Knowledge

The WUT Base of Knowledge was established by WUT Senat resolution of November 21, 2012. The policy for creating the system of depositing and archiving the scientific output and the repository was defined by the Rector of Warsaw University of Technology Decree No. 3/2014 of January 29, 2014. The aim of the WUT Base is to promote the scientific achievements of the faculty, students and university PhD students. The tools and technical capacities of the Base of Knowledge are much more than just of a bibliographic database. It is possible to find here information about all kinds of scientific and educational activities of the WUT faculty, students and researchers.
The repository – an integral part of the system - gathers and archives metadata and full text digitalized materials such as: monographs, journals articles, book chapters, reports and all materials which are necessary to award academic degrees and academic titles.
The concept, technical design and software of the WUT Base of Knowledge were implemented at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, which was a part of project SYNAT. Main Library is in charge of organizing the project implementation, preparation of legal documents, training and verification of the data records.
Basic functions and features of the Base of Knowledge:

  1. Repository functions of the works
  2. Full-text search in the repository resources
  3. Provision of information to WUT researchers (eg. database of journals, including the ministry lists of journals, database on conferences together with Web of Science)  
  4. Search for experts on particular subjects  (with the list of products of their work)
  5. Generator of websites that contain the researchers’ scientific outputs, including publications, promoted products of their work, list of projects.
  6. Mapping the research of the university organizational units
  7. Report generator for reporting and evaluation of parametric for:
    • a POL-on – government system about higher education
    • b survey on WUT units
    • c Complete bibliographies of university staff
    • d Annual Reports
    • e Dean of the Faculty Reports
  8. Cooperation with the INFONA platform
  9. Increasing the visibility of university achievements on the Internet through communication standards, including OAI, Google Scholar, Scopus, WoS.
  10. Historical archiving - the system takes into account the information about changing the name, affiliation of the author or the whole unit.
  11. Controlling the permission for making the works available - full texts can be available as specified by the will of the authors (on the open Internet, only on the premises of WUT, or to persons who have logins and passwords to the system).

Uruchomienie i bieżąca aktualizacja Repozytorium Politechniki Warszawskiej

Uruchomienie i bieżąca aktualizacja Repozytorium Politechniki Warszawskiej — 2012 rok

Działania zmierzające do utworzenia w PW Repozytorium PW, zainicjowano w 2010 roku, wspólnym projektem Wydziałów: EiTI, Chemicznego i Biblioteki Głównej realizowanym w ramach Uczelnianego Programu Badawczego. Następnie prace projektowe realizowane były przede wszystkim na Wydziale EiTI (w ramach projektu SYNAT / PASSIM – więcej zob. s. 7), gdzie powstawał wydziałowy system ewidencji dorobku pracowników EiTI połączony z systemem archiwizacji pełnych tekstów tych publikacji.

W 2012 roku działania Biblioteki Głównej koncentrowały się przede wszystkim na opracowaniu stałych elementów opisu i weryfikację danych w tworzonej w Bibliotece Głównej bazie BIBLIO i DOKTO (jako ważnych źródeł danych dla centralnego systemu ewidencji i Repozytorium PW), a także na przygotowaniu narzędzi informatycznych dla przejmowania danych z innych systemów funkcjonujących na uczelni lub systemów zewnętrznych. Celem projektu było także przygotowanie rozwiązań organizacyjnych dla wdrożenia projektu, przygotowanie szkoleń i materiałów instruktażowych, a także opracowanie strony domowej Repozytorium PW.

Repozytorium, działające na bazie oprogramowania Omega-PIR wykonane  w ramach projektu PASSIM / SYNAT uruchomiono w styczniu 2013 roku i jest dostępne pod adresem: https://repo.pw.edu.pl

Projekt był dofinansowany ze środków MNiSW na działalność upowszechniającą naukę w 2012 roku.

Repozytorium oraz Baza Wiedzy PW są aktualizowane i rozbudowywane na bieżąco, ze środków własnych PW. W rozbudowie Oprogramowania Omega-PSIR uczestniczą członkowie grupy instytucji wspierających jego rozwój.

  

Scalanie i aktualizacja Centralnego Katalogu Bibliotek PW

Scalanie i aktualizacja Centralnego Katalogu Bibliotek Politechniki Warszawskiej – od 2012 roku

Celem projektu było włączenie do Centralnego Katalogu Zbiorów Bibliotek PW zbiorów tych bibliotek PW, które nie przystąpiły jeszcze do współpracy w systemie, lub też współpracują tylko częściowo. Projekt, zapoczątkowany został w sierpniu 2012.

Do Centralnego Katalogu Zbiorów Bibliotek PW wprowadzono księgozbiór z sześciu bibliotek, oraz nieskatalogowane w systemie zbiory Biblioteki Głównej PW.  W latach 2012-2013 zadaniem retrokonwersji objęto zasoby :
1. Biblioteki Wydziału Administracji i Nauk Społecznych (zbiory przejęte w 2012 roku przez BG)
2. Biblioteki Wydziału Mechatroniki
3. Biblioteki Wydziału Architektury  (prace sa kontynuowane)
4. Biblioteki Wydziału Transportu
5. Biblioteki Wydziału Samochodów i Maszyn Roboczych
6. Biblioteki Wydziału Inżynierii Chemicznej i Procesowej
7. Kolekcji Instytutu Gospodarki Przestrzennej i Mieszkalnictwa w Bibliotece Głównej PW (prace sa kontynuowane)
8. Wydawnictwa Biblioteki Głównej z zakresu sygnatur C.000001 – C.090000 (w ramach skanowania inwentarzy Biblioteki Głównej) .

Realizacja projektu pozwoliła w znaczący sposób poprawić jakość informacji o dostępności najnowszego piśmiennictwa naukowego z zakresu: mechatroniki, transportu, inżynierii chemicznej, mechaniki, architektury, nauk społecznych i administracji. W ramach projektu Scalanie katalogów [...] prowadzono także prace nad reklasyfikacją części zbiorów.

Łącznie do Centralnego Katalogu Zbiorów Bibliotek PW, ogólnie dostępnego w Internecie,  w okresie realizacji zadania wprowadzono 102 512 egzemplarzy książek i czasopism. Pozwala to na lepsze ich wykorzystanie zarówno w środowisku pracowników naukowych i studentów PW, jak i osób z terenu całego kraju.

Na bieżąco prowadzone są prace nad aktualizacją katalogu, a retrokonwersja obejmuje kolejne sygnatury z Kolekcji Gospodarki Przestrzennej i Mieszkalnictwa oraz ze zbiorów Biblioteki Wydziału Architektury.

W okresie 2012-2013 projekt był dofinansowany przez  MNiSW, ze środków na działalność upowszechniająca naukę. W 2014 roku projekt kontynuowany pod tytułem: Kolekcje specjalne i zbiory dawne - uzupełnienia i poprawa jakości centralnego katalogu Bibliotek Politechniki Warszawskiej.

     

Kolekcje specjalne i zbiory dawne

Kolekcje specjalne i zbiory dawne - uzupełnienia i poprawa jakości centralnego katalogu Bibliotek Politechniki Warszawskiej

Nowa edycja projektu realizowanego w latach 2012-2013 (Scalanie katalogów bibliotek PW).

Celem projektu było uzyskanie większej kompletności informacji o zbiorach bibliotek PW w Centralnym Katalogu Zbiorów Bibliotek PW. W 2014 r. uzupełniano Katalog o opisy z kolekcji Gospodarki Przestrzennej i Mieszkalnictwa, Biblioteki Wydziału Architektury oraz Biblioteki Wydziału Samochodów i Maszyn Roboczych, a także sukcesywnie katalogowano zbiory ikonograficzne.

Łącznie wprowadzono w tym okresie 18 471 egzemplarzy książek, czasopism i zbiorów specjalnych oraz 450 fotografii. Reklasyfikacja, będąca elementem działań na rzecz poprawy jakości opracowania zbiorów, objęła 18 867 rekordów.

Jednym z zadań projektu było przeprowadzenie korekty opisów w obrębie katalogu. Prace te wykonywał specjalnie przygotowany zespół, wyłoniony spośród pracowników Biblioteki Głównej oraz pracowników bibliotek specjalistycznych. Korekcie poddano prawie 9000 opisów, w tym usunięto: 1 343 dubletów oraz w wyniku scalania opisów podczepiono 7 593 egzemplarzy książek, już istniejących w bazie. Przejrzano indeksy i zweryfikowano kilka tysięcy drobnych błędów literowych. W efekcie prowadzonych prac jakość danych uległa poprawie, choć zadanie to powinno być prowadzone w sposób ciągły z podobną intensywnością.

Na bieżąco prowadzone są prace nad aktualizacją katalogu oraz jego korektą, a retrokonwersja obejmuje kolejne sygnatury z Kolekcji Gospodarki Przestrzennej i Mieszkalnictwa oraz ze zbiorów Biblioteki Wydziału Architektury.

W 2014 roku projekt był dofinansowany przez  MNiSW, ze środków na działalność upowszechniająca naukę, przy czym dofinansowanie przyznane zostało we wrześniu (na okres od kwietnia do grudnia 2014), co ograniczało warunki jego realizacji.

     

Życie i dzieło prof. Jana Czochralskiego

Życie i dzieło prof. Jana Czochralskiego  — lata 2013-2014

W związku z ogłoszeniem roku 2013 Rokiem Prof. Jana Czochralskiego, Biblioteka Główna aktywnie uczestniczyła w działaniach podejmowanych w PW, których celem było uczczenie pamięci Profesora. Ważnym zadaniem BG było dokumentowanie informacji o odbywających się w związku z obchodami: wystawach, prezentacjach, seminariach i innych formach upamiętnienia Jego dokonań.
Biblioteka Główna gromadziła i przekazywała na stronę domową PW kalendarium imprez, linki do dokumentów (filmów, audycji radiowych) i wydawnictw związanych z obchodami Roku Jana Czochralskiego.  Biblioteka Główna przygotowała i upowszechniała gadżety oraz materiały informacyjne związane z obchodami.

W kwietniu 2013 roku BG uczestniczyła wraz z Muzeum PW w przygotowaniu wystawy 60 Rocznica śmierci prof. Jana Czochralskiego, a w październiku przygotowała własną 12 planszową wystawę zatytułowaną Życie i dzieło prof. Jana Czochralskiego. Równocześnie przygotowano prezentację multimedialaną (lekcję biblioteczną) poświęconą sylwetce Profesora. Była ona prezentowana w okresie 2013-2014 młodzieży szkolnej podczas spotkań informacyjnych dla maturzystów odwiedzających PW, a także w kilku warszawskich szkołach średnich oraz podczas przez

W 2013 roku otwarto w Muzeum PW stałą wystawę poświęcona Profesorowi Janowi Czochralskiemu, na której prezentowane są między innymi dokumenty archiwalne, pamiątki osobiste, a także płytki krzemowe i monokryształy krzemu wykonane w Instytucie Technologii Materiałów Elektronicznych.

W 2014 roku przygotowano do druku 3 częściową publikację:
Rok Jana Czochralskiego. - T.1: Zarys biografii i dokumentacja historyczna + Dodatek multimedialny, T.2: Pamięci Profesora Jana Czochralskiego: Wybór publikacji / współautor i redaktor naukowy Mirosław Władysław Nader. — Warszawa: Oficyna Wydawnicza Politechniki Warszawskiej, 2014. – (Zeszyty Historyczne Politechniki Warszawskiej T.15-16/2014).

Celem publikacji było utrwalenie wydarzeń 2013 roku związanych z upamiętnieniem dokonań Profesora Jana Czochralskiego. Publikacja, wydana w nakładzie 300 egz., została przekazana bezpłatnie do instytucji, w których odbywały się obchody, do osób zainteresowanych.

Enhancing scholarly communication

„Enhancing scholarly communication: National initiatives to manage research data in the V4 countries”  (2014)

W 2014 Biblioteka Główna wraz z University of Debrecen Library (lider projektu), Slovak Chemistry Library (Slovak University of Technology) i National Technical Library (Czechy, Praga) otrzymała z Funduszu Wyszehradzkiego (Standard Grant of International Visegrad Fund) na realizację projektu zatytułowanego: „Enhancing scholarly communication: National initiatives to manage research data in the V4 countries”. Celem projektu było przeprowadzenie badań w środowisku instytucji naukowych w celu określenia aktualnych warunków dostępności danych badawczych oraz powiązanych z nimi publikacji.
 
Wynikiem przeprowadzonych badań był raport, który w wersji skróconej był prezentowany w Pradze w październiku 2014 r. międzynarodowej konferencji naukowej poświęconej szarej literaturze i repozytoriom 7th Annual Conference on Grey Literature and Repositories
