Basic information about Northwestern Polytechnical University Library

Based on the needs of school teaching and scientific research, the library continuously strengthens the construction of document information resources, extensively collects domestic and foreign documents of various types, carriers, and languages, highlights the "three aviation" and national defense characteristics, and adopts various types and By combining carrier documents and physical collections with online virtual resources, our school’s document information security system is constructed to meet the document information needs of teachers and students throughout the school to the greatest extent. As of the end of 2008, the total number of documents in the collection reached more than 2.81 million volumes.

Electronic resources are constantly enriched, with more than 400,000 Chinese and foreign electronic books, more than 20,000 Chinese and foreign electronic journals, more than 1.3 million Chinese and foreign electronic theses, and 740,000 electronic documents such as patents and reports. (pieces), introduced CSA Illumina (NTIS, Aerospace, Materials Science, Engineering Research), Ei Village, AIAA Meeting Papers, AIAA Journal, Wiley-Blackwell, ISTP, IEL, SCI, PQDT-B, PQDD-FT, Springer- SLCC, Jane's Air and System Library, SDOL, U.S.Military Standard, Scholar's Home, China Journal Network, the full text of China's outstanding master's degree thesis, the full text of China's doctoral thesis, Wanfang Resource System, VIP Resource System, Chaoxing Digital Library, Du There are 43 kinds of domestic and foreign CD-ROM and network databases, including Xiu Knowledge Base and Chinese National Standards, including more than 190 sub-libraries.

We have self-built a bibliographic database of the collection of literature, a full-text database of the school’s master’s and doctoral theses, a database of teaching reference books, a full-text database of national defense science and technology reports, a database of special documents on unmanned aircraft, a database of special documents on CAD/CAM and key disciplines. There are 8 kinds of databases including navigation library and CD-ROM database accompanying the book.

The content of the collection of documents is closely integrated with the school's disciplines and majors, basically forming a system featuring aviation, aerospace, navigation and national defense, with a focus on high-tech disciplines such as computers, electronic telecommunications, automatic control, machinery, and materials. , taking into account basic subjects, a multi-disciplinary library system that combines engineering, science, management, liberal arts, economics, and law. 1. The library business system has completed the docking with the campus "One Card" system. All faculty and staff (including postdocs) in the school's business establishment and personnel agency establishment, as well as graduate students and undergraduate students recruited by the school in accordance with the "National General University Enrollment Tasks" , you can use the campus “all-in-one card” to go to the library to handle borrowing business.

The construction of the digital library of Northwestern Polytechnical University has gone through the initial stage in the 1980s, the independent development and application stage in the early 1990s, and the comprehensive construction stage in the late 1990s. In particular, through the "211 Project" during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and the special construction of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the structured integrated wiring between the east and west branches of the library and inside the building was completed, and a fast switching system was established. The library's local area network environment using Ethernet realizes high-speed access to the campus network. The backbone network speed reaches 1000M, the desktop 100M, and the information storage capacity is 14TB. It uses an advanced information management integrated system to realize online bibliographic inquiry and borrowing books. Inquiry, renewal, reservation and reader recommendation; establishing 20 database mirrors of NPU; unified retrieval system, virtual consultation system, interlibrary loan and document delivery system, CD release system, dissertation submission and release system through heterogeneous databases, etc. , providing network information services. The integration of "collection, borrowing, reading, consultation and management" has been formed, allowing the digital library to begin to take shape.
