Academica (library)

Academica is a Polish online interlibrary system providing access to digital documents of the National Library of Poland that includes both copyrighted material for registered users in selected libraries within Poland as well as free access to public domain material.

The project was developed in collaboration with the National Library of Poland, Foundation for Polish Science and Research and Academic Computer Network.

The interface allows for search within the digitized version of the documents as well as its metadata including language, keywords, published date, and subject categories.

It provides capability to perform full text searches for materials with OCR and limited capability for boolean expressions (for example it is possible to do fulltext search for "Jan Kowalski").

Additional functionality changes such as additional search options, increased OCR capabilities and access improvements are planned for 2017–2019 within the project OMNIS[2] supported mostly by European Union funds.
