The Library System consists of a central library with its five faculty library branches and departmental collections. The central library serves mainly as headquarters of the Library system. The collections include approximately 260,000 books and bound volumes, about 1,400 journal subscriptions and a growing collection of networked databases (both local and remote).

The Library provides computer access to bibliographical information and holdings about books, periodicals and theses at the Institute and university libraries in Israel by using the ALEPH automated library system.

The reference services have been enhanced to include Internet resources, extending library access and delivery far beyond the Library's walls.

The Library and Information Unit's home page (www.weizmann.ac.il/WIS-library/home.htm) is the backbone of the Library's Intranet, which reaches out to library patrons enabling them sophisticated use of the Library Services. Information resources, electronic ordering and delivery of documents are embedded Services.

We provide access to thousands of electronic journals and remote databases through publishers and commercial information providers.

The Library is part of the University Libraries' Consortium which enriches our electronic collection.

The Institute archives, which include documents, pictures, sound recordings, motion pictures, internal publications, clippings and so forth, document the Institute's history and current activities.
