Abstrakt
The Library of Cracow University of Technology (CUT) has begun developing Technical Sciences Knowledge Exchange and Academic Publications Sharing Integrated System (abbr. SUW) since 2009. This project was granted partial financial support under the EU fund Innovative Economy Operational Programme (2009-2012). Ultimately, the system will include the following components: 1) The Catalogue of CUT Library, 2) The Bibliography of the CUT Staff Publications, 3) Databases created by the CUT Library, 4) The CUT Repository, 5) The CUT Handbooks database. Additionally, the system will provide a federated search feature, as well as the communication tools for the registered users (The SUW’s community). The SUW system is implemented in the Open Access movement, which is increasingly gaining popularity in Poland. Therefore, the first stage of work on the SUW system was to promote information and knowledge about OA in the university environment. The first part of the paper deals with ways to promote the idea of OA and the SUW project among the CUT academic staff and students. The second part of the paper presents the main assumptions and the process of developing the SUW system, beginning with the CUT Digital Library, which has been founded and managed since 2006 by the CUT librarians.
