Databases

The Library of Science (Biblioteka Nauki)»

is the largest Polish journal database that provides easy, stable and free access to full-text articles and metadata sets, allowing users to search and browse database contents by article titles, authors names, keywords and abstracts.

It consists of 6 separate disciplinary databases: CEJSH (The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities), PSJD (Polish Scientific Journals Database; physical, chemical, medical, pharmaceutical, health and sport sciences), DML-PL (mathematics and mathematical logic) BazTech (technological sciences), AGRO (biological, agricultural, forestry and veterinary sciences) and BazEkon (economics).

The Library of Science is run by the Open Science Platform at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw (ICM UW).   ( Open Science Platform)

Use your library account and create personal folder MyEBSCOhost in the multisearch custom control  

The prerequisite to the use of the website’s personalised services in the multisearch engine is prior registration with the library and your own personalised MyEBSCOhost folder. At the time of registration, the User must use:

• computers on the University’s premises (only those within the University IP range)
• the web page: https://auth.ebsco.zone/user/create (from any location).

For users accessing content from outside the UAM IP range (off-campus), the MyEBSCOhost account in the searching engine can be created using an access management service  and following any given  search for a publication from the AMU subscription list and logging into the indicated e-content with your library card number and the PIN number. There is a tab in the top right corner called “Log into My EBSCOhost and Folder”, where you can activate the service.

A growing collection of databases with a number of subscribed and gift electronic journal databases covering all the subjects areas covered at the University are made available to the Library users. All registered members of the University Library are required to abide by

“The rules and regulations governing the use of electronic resources and access to web-based content”. 

Access to the licensed electronic resources is granted only to students and the University academic staff and researchers that have a valid electronic Library Card.

When first logging into the system, please type in the required data: the number of the Library Card and the PIN number. The PIN number (4 digits) is the following format:  your date of birth – MMDD (for example 1130 for somebody born on Nov. 30) . It is recommended to change your PIN number to one of your own (again a four-digit number). To do it, go to “User’s Data”.

Users are not allowed to:

• make electronic and printed copies of articles and periodicals on a mass scale and to save them without any specific need of research,
• redistribute journals and periodicals, as well as their sections, to third parties in any form, in exchange for money or free of charge.
