To the attention of academic publishers and editors of scientific journals!

The European Research Infrastructure for the development of open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities (OPERAS) has created the «Support to Ukrainian Editorial Staff» (SUES) project. It aims to support and strengthen scientific communication in Ukraine.

In order to better assess the needs of the community the project prepared a short questionnaire.

New additions to the electronic collection «Історія КПІ ім. Ігоря Сікорського» («History of KPI »)

The KPI Library continues to develop an electronic catalog. To the electronic collection «Історія КПІ ім. Ігоря Сікорського» («History of KPI ») were added new sections «Секція вихованців КПІ в Польщі» («KPI Graduates Section in Poland») and «Історія авіації» («History of aviation»).

«Секція вихованців КПІ в Польщі» is a unique organization at the Main Technical Society of Poland. Founded in 1922 and has brought together many graduates of Kyiv Polytechnic. The section presents the memories of students of different generations who studied at KPI. Materials from the last 50 years, mostly in Polish, are collected here.

The second section is devoted to materials on aviation – the library has a large array of thematic literature. KPI has more than a century of history in training specialists in this field – from the first members of the Kyiv Aviation Group to today’s students of the Institute of Aerospace Technology.

The collections will have additions in the future.
