Abstract:

A small Polish Company has developed a new software user-friendly tool ? a database of scientific publications offering on-line purchase of scientific papers and a locally operating bibliographic programme connected to the database. The company is looking for partners interested in further development and companies for the testing of new applications as well as joint venture partners.

Description:

A Polish SME has developed an innovative software tool based on Internet ? a user-friendly database of scientific publications (bachelor's, graduate's, doctor's, qualifying for professorship, conference materials, articles and all other publications of scientific character) based on advanced search methods (also in full text of publication). The main option of the E-library is integration with the locally operating bibliographic programme linked to the database (helping the process of writing scientific publications). The Internet addresses of the library are: www.prace.naukowe.pl and www. pracenaukowe.pl. This library was set up using: Borland C++, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), SQL (Simple Query Language), Java, SSL (Secure Socket Layer). The company is looking for partners interested in further development and companies for testing of new applications as well as joint venture partners.

Innovative Aspects:
1. Database of scientific publications: instant addition of texts to the databases by authors; collection of a wide range of scientific papers including those that are not available in bookshops and libraries; facilities searching for complete texts of publications/documents.
2. Compatibility of the bibliographic programme with the text editor MS Word, helping in all aspects of scientific work documentation, convenient archives and data transfer.

Main Advantages:
Ease of entering, searching for and obtaining the information
Low price of the programme
Potential for wide (Internet but not only) application
