The National Library of
Belarus
This library was originally the Belarusian State and University
Library and was founded in 1922. It only became the National Library
in 1992. Its website provides the address, phone numbers, and email of
the library as well as the name of the Director. A fairly long
description of the library and its holdings, activities, and
current technical capabilities is given as well. It is not possible to
search the catalog or any databases from this website, it is useful only
as an introduction to the library and for contact information and hours of
operation.
The Republican Scientific
and Technical Library
This is one of the largest libraries in Belarus, established in
1977. This is a pretty basic webpage, it is made up of one page with
no links. Right at the top is the contact information. Following that
is a description of the library and its collections. The page also
discusses the services offered, hours of operation, publications, and
partner institutions. The library is the national patent depository and a
center for scientific research and organizations.
The Jakub Kolas
Central Scientific Library
This library is part of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The
site is fairly simplistic and the English translations are not always
correct, but the information provided is clear and easy to find. The site
mentions an electronic catalog and databases, but there is no access to
them as yet. Detailed contact information for library employees is given,
as well as a history of the library and its relationship to the scientific
community, nationally and internationally.
Belarus Agricultural Library
The goal of this library is to provide "every citizen of Belarus with
opportunity of free access to the information on agriculture, forestry and
food." These webpages provide extensive information about the
library. Some of the areas covered include; the library's mission,
values, and priorities, the library's services and events, and the
available resources. There are links to the library's partners and
supporters and to AGROWEB, a database of agricultural information and
links focusing on Central and Eastern Europe. Contact information and
hours of operation are available for each department within the
library as well.
