  2. About ICM: • an interdisciplinary research unit of Warsaw University created in 1993 • research in modelling of biomolecular, biomedical, solid state, atmospheric and decision systems • host for information infrastructure (supercomputers, servers and software) offered countrywide • Virtual Library of Sciences

  3. Virtual Library of Science: • a countrywide repository of knowledge resources • includes leading international scientific databases and electronic journal collections, as well as Polish content • most resources installed „on-site”, on the local servers hosted by ICM • access for the consortia of academic institutions sharing costs of the licenses • financial support from the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology

  4. International content: • Abstract databases: Math, Inspec, Medline, Science Citation Index, Scopus (on-line) • Chemical databases: Beilstein, Gmelin, PDB • Full text journal collections: OBC archives, Elsevier (1500+), Springer(400+), Kluwer(600+), EMIS, ACS • to be added in 2006: APS, AIP, Emerald, IEEE (on-line & local archive)

  5. Licenses for electronic journals: • access to complete publishers’ collection back to 1995 (Elsevier, Springer, Kluwer) or back to 1st volume • perpetual archive rights to full collections (Springer, Kluwer) or to subscribed journals (Elsevier, ACS etc) • current content offered on-line only (ACS etc) will be stored at ICM upon reaching archival status after each subscription period • e-only pricing (ca 110% of former print) and DDP option for print

  8. Hardware: • duplicated server: Sunfire 880 (12GB) + Sunfire 440 (8GB) • duplicated storage: 2 x 5 TB of used volume • additional Sunfire 440 (16GB) server for developingPolish platform

  9. Software: • CrossFire • OvidNET • Silverlink WebSPRIS • Web of Science • Science Server • Polish platform (under development)

  10. Polish platform: • unified archive, index and search engine, and user interface for Polish and international content, including full text journals, e-books, and abstract databases • standard browse, search, linking, alerting features enhanced with similarity analysis and multilateral exploration of the past usage • open source technology
