The
Library of the Pedro Kourí Institute
has three basic goals:
-
To support the
scientific activity carried out at the institute, and all over the
country, through the most current domestic and foreign scientific
literature in the fields of medicine and biological sciences.
-
To make accessible to
its users the most updated information available on their fields of
action.
-
To carry out studies
and to take the most out of the new techniques and technologies,
such as computer network and web sites, in order to make access to
bibliographic information quicker and easier.
To fulfill its goals,
the Library counts on a wide document collection that includes: books,
periodicals, theses, annual reports from national and international
institutions and/or organizations, technical reports, proceedings,
etc.
At present, the library
has a virtual version in Spanish,
The Virtual Health
Library of Communicable Diseases,
which is only accessible through the IPK's computer network, IPKnet.
As part of its own development, the Library has designed
several automated systems, now under exploitation. These systems have
two basic purposes: information storage and retrieval.
Opening hours: Monday through Friday,
from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
