About Us

The Library Information Center of ADNSU PJSC provides its users—faculty members, students, researchers, and staff—with a diverse collection of printed materials and electronic information resources to support education, training, research programs, and the effective use of their leisure time. As one of the leading structural units of ADNSU, it serves as an information center that supports the scientific research process with academic, educational literature, and international resources.

The Center was originally established in 1920 on the basis of the Baku Polytechnic School. Since December 27, 2018, it operated as the ADNSU AzII e-Book House based on the Fundamental Library of ADNSU, and as of August 25, 2025, it continues its activities under the name Library Information Center.

Although global best practices are applied in its operations, a unique library system specific to ADNSU has been developed and integrated into the university’s electronic network.

The Center provides prompt and differentiated services mainly through traditional and electronic resources (books, scientific journals, dissertations, abstracts, and other library materials) in Azerbaijani, English, Russian, and other languages.

Since December 2022, an Open Library has been operating within the structure of the Center.
