This system is based on multi-platform modular servers Z39.50 ZooPARK (development UIGGM SB RAS) and gateways of Z39.50-WWW. The system contains a plenty (more than 10 000 000 Records) bibliographic and analytical information of a wide spectrum stored in various data bases (DB) on various servers. The access to all information system is realised both under the protocol Z39.50, and through WEB. In the report is exhibited, that:
