New tasks of the scientific library – Knowledge Base of the University of Opole

Abstract

All scientific units in Poland, using their own IT systems or the system of the National Information Processing Institute, regularly report information related to their scientific activities to the respective national systems – POLon and the Polish Scientific Bibliography. The University of Opole uses the UO Knowledge Base system to fulfil its reporting obligations. Initially, the programme was used to record, collect and report scientific publications and artistic works to ministerial information systems. Over the years, its functions have been extended to include scientific disciplines other than medical sciences. Today, the Knowledge Base system enables the comprehensive management of information on science and the university’s research potential.
