The library-information system of the Academic Library of the Vistula University Group (former University of Economics and Computer Science in Warsaw) was established on 1 January 1999. The primary task of the system was to facilitate access to information for  students and staff of the University. To this end databases were created for collections, including a book collection, a collection of journals and special collections, as an instrument of efficient and effective research work. Library users can also avail themselves of databases available on CD-ROMs and other electronic carriers.

During the 25 years of its existence the library has gathered a book collection of over 100 000 volumes and several hundred press titles.

The catalogues of our collections have been developed with the help of the MAK computer software. They contain descriptions of all the collections held by the Library. 

The catalogues allow to find the item sought starting from the author, title, subject headword, title word, publishing house or signature.
The inhabitants of Warsaw can make use of our collections free of charge in the reading room of the library.

As a model unit we offer practical placements and trainings for students of the Institute of Information and Book Studies of Warsaw University as well as for the College of Information, Archive Studies and Bookselling.

The Academic Library of VISTULA University Group switched to the MAK+ library system in winter 2013. Since then successive records of the electronic book collection have been prepared so as to adapt them to the requirements of the new system. Simultaneously, new library services have been implemented.

According to the statute of the Vistula University and Vistula School of Hospitality, the Academic Library is a interuniversity organizational unit fulfilling its scientific and didactic tasks, as well as being a service to the academic community.

The Academic Library has collections on economy, economic policy, social and educational policy, domestic economy, philology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, finance, banking, marketing, accounting, insurance, business organization and management, environment protection, transport, European Union, tourism, hotel industry, trade, law, international relations, local administration, diplomacy, computer and mathematical sciences. A special collection of books on recreation and tourism makes a prominent feature here – it is one of the biggest of this type inPoland. Our collections are available through the means of reference library and lending library. The collections are constantly updated and expanded. Students of other universities may borrow documents with the help of the interlibrary exchange service.

At the end of 2021, the number of volumes in our collections was over 100,000, and the number of titles of periodicals (domestic and foreign) – over 800.

A few tens of thousands of titles of periodicals are accessible in the online full-text databases.

MAK+ (MAKPlus) is an electronic, fully automated, integrated library system, created and developed by the Book Institute. The system allows to create an electronic library catalogue, and user base, to register the collection items being lent or made available as well as to take care of library statistics. The work is conducted via an Internet browser. The system satisfies the requirements of Library Certificate+.

The Academic Library of VISTULA University Group switched to the MAK+ library system in winter 2013. Since then we have been working on adjusting the contents of the electronic book collection. The cataloguing of library collections in the MAK+ system is conducted with the help of the contents of the “Bibliographic Guidebook” of the National Library from which bibliographical records are taken for the local library base. The bibliographic descriptions our staff create are added to the common description base available to all system users and adapted by a team of specialists from voivodeship and municipal libraries.

The MAK+  library system is recommended by the National Library Board.

The database Server provides:

• a uniform base of records of library descriptions (books)
• a uniform base of readers
• an Internet access to the collections of all MAK+  using libraries.
