|---|---|---|
| 21 | Short description of the main objectives and purposes of the project | The Centre will support science-related and culture-producing activities of the region’s academic community. Opening of the Centre will have a positive impact on the situation of Silesian students and researchers in terms of improving their access to didactic and scientific materials, books and magazines, as well as to top-quality knowledge about contemporary science. The Centre will combine the traditions of academic libraries with a modern vision of a regional centre of scientific and business information. In short: more holdings in open stacks, more readers seats, development of the library in the field of research, computer and audiovisual materials, development of training for non-student readers, extension of the opening hours to the public, high quality of services and library and information sources, the only regional science centre, open for a range of expectations in terms of science, culture, education and knowledge. The new facility of the Scientific Information Centre and Academic Library is designed to store approx. 1.8 million book volumes. After the opening, it will store approx. 800 thousand book volumes. |
