One of the important components in the infrastructure of the Karaganda Industrial University is a scientific library.

The main tasks of the scientific library in the educational activities of the university are: operational, complete library and information and bibliographic services for students and university staff and the formation of a library fund in accordance with educational programs.

The university library fund is annually replenished with educational, methodological and scientific literature to help students, undergraduates, doctoral students and teachers. In this regard, the university faces a serious task – to provide all students with the necessary literature not only in the state language, but also in Russian and English. Educational and scientific literature is purchased both in the traditional format (printed books) and on digital media. The library fund is replenished at the expense of the state purchase and publication of the works of our teachers in our own printing house.

Library staff are actively working on the recommendation and advertising of new acquisitions in the library fund. To do this, on the site of KarIU, as new receipts, the newsletter «New Literature» is laid out, a review of scientific and technical journals is done once a month. Open book views, Specialist Days, Department Day are held. In recent years, for the convenience of teachers and students, we have posted photo exhibitions, photo reports of new arrivals on the KarIU website.

But one of the most widespread and effective forms of book advertising remains the traditional book exhibition. This form allows the reader to get directly acquainted with the new literature.

To help the curriculum, permanent book exhibitions are organized on the subscription of the scientific library and in the reading room: «Education and Career of the XXI Century», «To Help the Student», «New Literature», «Works of KIU Teachers», which are regularly updated. All book exhibitions are designed in 3 languages.

Since January 2021, the scientific library has been organizing a cycle of book exhibitions and thematic shelves «New Literature to Help the Curriculum». They will showcase books received by the library last year. In January of this year, the Department of Power Engineering got acquainted with the novelties in its specialty, in February – the Department of Artificial Intelligence Technology. In March, the library staff presented new book exhibitions on metallurgy and industrial transport for students at the departments «Metal forming», «Metallurgy and metallurgy», «Technological machines and transport». Particular attention can be paid to the book exhibition «Bizdin ogytushylardyk onu adebieti. Educational literature of our teachers» on which the reader will see new educational, educational and methodological materials of the teaching staff of KarIU over the past six months.
