It collects, elaborates,preserves and makes available domestic and foreignscientifi c and professional library documents. It provides aclassical and electronic free access to information. It createsand makes available database GLIB – ProfLib (electroniccatalogue) in the sphere of its specialisation and aswell as foreign bases of data.Main Library activities in the year 2007:– The Library’s fund – is the result of long-lasting specialisationin geology, systematic update on domestic andforeign monographical and periodical titles. By December2007 the Library registered 70 639 titles of monographicand periodic literature (books and bound journalvolumes); on the top of the above the Library inserted intoits evidence 53 968 non-bound titles of periodic literatureand 559 journal titles. There were discarded 50 publications.In the year 2007 from the Library’s fund were borrowed5 143 documents both in presence or absenceform, besides the above 717 documents in the form ofregular circulation exchange service for regional centresSGIDŠ (79 journal titles, as well as monographs, or otherdocuments according to specific requirements). Via internationaland domestic interlibrary exchange service theLibrary supplied 117 documents. In this period the Libraryattracted 29 new external visitors. Along with previousyears we register 540 customers (besides the SGIDŠ employees)and the increment for the year 2007 was 2 %.– Base of data (in electronic form) and related recherchéservices:a) foreign bases of data with abstracts from the sphereof geology and environment on CD-ROM (all-in-allabout 4 470 000 records). In the year 2007 thesedatabases were used for 2 647 recherché:• GEOBASE (annual increment on 50 000 records),• GEOREF (annual increment on 70 000 records),• EMBASE (annual increment on 30 000 records).b) Base of data GLIB (ProfLib) – electronic librarycatalogue being developed since the year 1990 andcontinuously updated on records about new publications,selected articles and bibliographic records. By31/12/2007 the catalogue included 36 778 records.The subbase of borrowed items is administered separatelyand we registered by the end of 2007 6 933records.

In the year 2007 the Library wasin contact with 217 partner institutes from 59 countries; itgained 427 of journals, monographs, maps and other documenttypes. The Library continuously provided also thestandard reprographic service at the documents study.Department of Informatics RC Spišská Nová VesThe Department of Informatics provided in the year 2007precise data and graphic processing of groundwork for outputof geological issues solved in the scope of the SGIDŠprojects, as well as in the scope of the international and interdisciplinarycooperation (Databank of geophysical measurings– vertical electric sounding, Geophysical archive,databanks and register results of geological-geophysicalworks, Monitoring of radon volume activity in geologicalenvironment at the territory of SR, Magnetic map SR, Basichydrogeological map of selected regions of Slovakia,Cross-border contamination of soils in high mountainareas in Slovakia, Integrated Landscape Management,General geological map SR at scale 1 : 200 000, Deep repositoryRAO, Geological information system – GeoIS).Besides the above the Department provides vectorisation,processing and desk-top publishing of maps and advertisingmaterials using large scale format plotter HP DesignJet 800up to a format A0+.State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr Annual Report 2007 27
