Rules for using the electronic library

An electronic library is a thematically oriented system of access to local and remote resources of library users. The electronic catalog section presents books available in electronic form in the university’s collection in Kazakh, Russian and English.

The electronic library has systematic and alphabetical catalogs. An alphabetical catalog is a catalog in which bibliographic records are grouped in alphabetical order of the authors’ surnames or book titles. The alphabetical catalog is accessed if it is necessary to find out if there is a specific book in the library’s collection. The alphabetical catalog presents papers (term papers, theses, abstracts, books) in alphabetical order, and they do not have a specific classification.

The systematic catalog contains works on a certain classification. A systematic catalog is a catalog in which bibliographic records are arranged by branches of knowledge. Systematic catalog “Electronic resources” reflects only electronic resources (computer-controlled) publications from the library’s collection. Records are arranged by branches of knowledge.

  • You need to select the directory that you will work with;
  • A list of disciplines appears (for example: psychology, economics, prose … etc.);
  • Go to the topic you have chosen:
  • When you find the material you need, you contact the administrator or the librarian for electronic resources;
  • The necessary material can be copied by creating a document on the desktop.;
  • Now you can freely edit and print this material

Similarly, the material is searched in the alphabetical catalog.
