E-library of the kyrgyz-turkish manas university
The material and technical base of the scientific library of the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University is equipped with fairly modern equipment. In 2002, digital catalog was created and the library switched to open access service mode. Also electromagnetic protective doors were installed. In 2005, the library automation system “Yordam” (Yordam Information Technology Consultancy Training and Electronic Systems Industry Tic. Inc) was integrated which was built on FileMaker Pro. Then the system completely changed the language setting into the Russian and Kyrgyz on the initiative of the scientific library. The flexible and convenient programming system gave an opportunity to create e-catalog and digital scientific catalogs including “Manas database”, “Turkestan collection” database, electronic publications database of Manas University, a mobile library, authors’ biographical database, etc.
