VSUES Library is successfully developing and implementing modern technologies. «Dolphin» - is automated library system which serves as a basis for library work and its branches. This program is gradually developing in correspondence with demand and needs of the Library and University.

This product is a result of creation the one in Russia closed automated technological chain which makes every stage of document work and library process obvious. System’s statistic analysis of all operations provides any kind of information: location of book, readers of the book, urgency and necessity of any part of the fund and of resource as a whole. Now automatic system registers all readers who attend library (it is possible now to see any person who take any book or resource you are interested at). Assignment of resources is provided with cards which are for students and teachers not only cards with bar-coding but also pass to University or campus. It serves as unified system for registration with unified database for the University.

Besides that University enrich its resources with a help of leading world full text database providers in different languages: Russian, English and Chinese.

All branches of library provided service for more than 100 000 (not only students, but also post-graduates, scientists of other universities, teachers and scholars of Vladivostok schools, etc.) Our Library is available to everybody.

Such variety of recourses is a result of integration of the Library to International and Russian library association. Our Library is a member of NEICON and ARBICON.
