English abstract

Universities and research institutes in Poland use digital libraries, repositories, bibliographic databases or Current Research Information Systems to promote or give access to their scientific achievements. In 2015, the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center started cooperation with the Library of the Poznań University of Technology to optimise the process of managing the scientific achievements of the Technical University. The envisioned solution was to replace four legacy systems used at the Technical University, provide comprehensive information for end users, automate the work of collecting and sharing resources, and support flexible data export. In course of the work we executed in-depth analysis of existing software solutions and as a result decided to develop a new system adjusted to the needs of the Technical University. Our approach in the design & development work was to deliver system which is simple to use, has built-in features to improve/ensure quality of provided data and has good visibility in search engines. After several years of work we have strong believe that detailed analysis of the needs, flexible solution as well as simplicity, quality and visibility are the most important factors of success when building comprehensive solution for promotion and access to academic research information/outcomes.
