The Centre established a system of informational support of the educational and research environment of the University. This satisfies the needs of the faculty and students. Traditional educational publications are complemented by electronic resources: tutorials, lab works and professors’ lectures. The most valuable part of the library is a collection of books and papers of the MEPhI authors, which even contains books published in the 1940s.

The electronic library of MEPhI is constantly updated with new resources, either acquired or created by the digitization of rare books. Access to remote databases is being expanded. MEPhI users also enjoy access to the full-text versions of foreign and national scientific and academic journals.
