The Library of Biological Sciences represents a modern information and library workplace, which primarily serves to satisfy the needs of the employees and students of the biology section, in a broader perspective it is intended for the entire professional public. Together with the libraries of other faculty sections, it is thus part of a system covering the fields taught and researched at the Faculty of Science of the Charles University.
The Library of Biological Sciences consists of three sub-libraries: the main Biological Library (Viničná 7, 1st floor, the center of most library services) and two department libraries – the Botanical Library (Benátská 2) and the Library of Philosophy and Natural History (Viničná 7, ground floor).
The library collection consists of both classic paper documents (books, printed serials, scripts, qualification theses) and electronic information sources (electronic magazines, e-books, databases). Electronic resources can be accessed either directly (based on an authorized IP address) or remotely (EZproxy or Shibboleth services, where the user's authorization is verified based on the existence of an account in the UK Central Authentication Service).
