Collections

Biological Collection

In 2001 the libraries of the 12 biology departments were united and the collections were moved to the Faculty Library.

The library has a historic collection, of which plenty of books are from the original university. One of these is Péter Juhász Melius' "Hebarium" from 1578 and Basilius Bessler's "Plantarum Horti Eystattensis" from 1613.

The biological collection consists of the departments' educational and research fields, as well as related fields. Main fields: anthropology, protein- and gene technology, neurophysiology, ethology, molecular cell biology, immunology, ecology, botany and microbiology, plant systematics and systematic zoology, their interdisciplinaries, as well as biology handbooks and lexicons.

The lecturers and researchers of the department have been publishing books and notes, which aid education and research. Moreover, departmental journals are also published. /Opuscula Zoologica - Department of Systematic Zoology, Community Ecology - Department of Plant Systematics, Humanbiologia Budapestiensis - Department of Anthropology./

Location: ELTE Lágymányosi Campus, Southern Building 1.floor. 809.

Geographical and Earth Sciences Collection

Until August of 2001 the Geographical Library operated as a member of ELTE's library network, servicing the lecturers and students of three geography departments.

The collection covers a wide-range of disciplines. Main disciplines: geography, regional studies. Side disciplines: geography's related fields. In the education of geography there is a great emphasis on the students' individual research of literature and the writing of essays. Therefore students have been intensivelly using the library, researching different topics each year. This is why we tried to buy multiple copies of all scientific literature and notes.

Location: ELTE Lágymányosi Campus, Southern Building 1.floor. 809.

Chemistry Collection

Fields: chemistry and related fields: chemical industry, biochemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutics, as well as basic hand books, lexicons and dictionaries.
Our collection has around 80 000 documents, mainly journals. The library is currently subscribed to 61 foreign and 16 Hungarian journals.

Olvasóink elektronikus információkhoz, on-line folyóiratokhoz, adatbázisokhoz férhetnek hozzá. Ilyen pl. a Chemical abstrakt adatbázis. Büszkék vagyunk régi, muzeális értékű dokumentumainkra, mint például a Chemical Abstract 1907-től meglévő kötetei, vagy az 1800-as években megjelent kémiai kézikönyvek és lexikonok. Értékes peptidkémiai Schőn István Gyűjteményünk a Richter Gedeon Rt. ajándéka. Our readers have access to electronic informations, online journals and databases. An example is the Chemical abstrakt database. We are proud of our historic documents, such as the the issues of Chemical Abstract from 1907 or the chemical handbooks and lexicons released in the 1800s. Our precious Schőn István Collection of peptide chemistry was a gift from Richter Gedeon Rt.

Mathematical Collection

Gyűjteményünk az Egyetemen folyó matematikaoktatással egyidőben indult, és azóta fejlődik, gyarapodik. Jelentős adományok, ajándékok, cserelehetőségek révén és tervszerű gyarapításnak köszönhetően könyvtárunk mára komoly, jelentős matematikai szakgyűjteménynek számít.  Our collection was established at the same time as mathematics education started at our university, and has been developing ever since. Due to significant donations, gifts, trades and planned enlargement, our library has a large and remarkable mathematical collection today.
