Libraries online

GREAT NEWS !!! - see what EduID allows you (via university login details). From 2 November 2020, you can get, for example, to the National Digital Library-COVID application, where all digitized titles of the National Library and the Moravian Regional Library are accessible. Students and teachers of universities and colleges registered in the federation eduID.cz (including UMPRUM) and researchers can use temporary online access to more than 215,000 titles of monographs and periodicals, which is almost 64 million pages. The National Library obtained the consent of the collective copyright administrators, specifically the DILIA, OOA-S association, and also the consent of the Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers. These entities gave their consent without the right to financial performance.

ANOTHER GOOD NEWS - even the National Technical Library (NTK) publicly provides its digital collections in times of emergency (currently extended until November 20, 2020)! 

We try to be here for you and we are here, but if you still can't come, you may not find a lot of things and informations for this difficult time here: https://online.knihovny.cz/

About the library

Since the founding of the Academy of Art, Architecture, and Design in Prague in 1885, the library has been an integral part of the school, and has been (and continues to be) dedicated to serving the faculty and students of the school. The library is open to the public, though use of the archives must be done on-site. In addition to having a collection that numbers around seventy thousand, the library also subscribes to periodicals and magazines from other countries, as well as from the Czech Republic. The specific collections within the library's archive reflect the departments of study within the school itself. Though direct access to the library's collection is not freely available, the current periodicals are at visitor's disposal for on-site reference. The library's catalog is available to the general public. Book collection is stored in electronic form, where the books are cataloged since 1940 until now.
