Znanium.com — a universal multidisciplinary electronic library system (ELS) that provides online access to numerous educational and scientific works. The main ELS collection contains many thousands of textbooks, study guides, and monographs.
From September 8, 2026 to October 7, 2026, BNTU has trial access to ZnaniumGPT.
About the service
You can choose one of two modes:
Search for literature in the Znanium ELS collection using a natural-language query;
Enter any query and receive a detailed answer based on the content of the collection, with a link to the source.
As part of the trial access, each REGISTERED user is provided with 1,000,000 tokens. This is enough for approximately 130 detailed answers or about 500 literature searches.
One token has a different weight depending on the selected language, and consumption depends on the number of words in the query (Russian text weighs more tokens than English).
Answers based on the materials in the collection are generated by language models, so inaccuracies are possible.
More information about access to the service is available on the website.
The BNTU Scientific Library presents the latest issue of the electronic information digest InfoGenerator (2/2026), “Highways and Airfields.” It is entirely dedicated to moving forward — the development of transport infrastructure, modern educational technologies, and personal effectiveness.
Modern highways and runways are the circulatory system of any country. The speed of freight transportation, passenger safety, and the economic potential of the state directly depend on their quality. Industries are in vital need of a new generation of engineers who possess up-to-date knowledge and are capable of creating a durable, safe, and high-tech transport network.
In the thematic section of this issue, particular attention is paid to the design, construction, and operation of transport infrastructure. We have collected key specialized books, textbooks, periodicals, and advanced educational resources on this topic for you.

Three summer days, from July 10 to 12, 2026, were transformed into a space for open scientific conversations — lively and engaging, where complex ideas were explained simply and science became closer. The “Science in the City” project, featuring graduates of the Science Popularization School, took place at three popular city venues: “Echo Dvor,” “Lidbir Dvor,” and “Manifest Square.”
The Science Popularization School is a joint project of the Science Festival team and the BNTU Scientific Library. It has been held for the third year and brings together enthusiasts in the fields of science and education. It gives teachers, scientists, researchers, and talented students the opportunity to talk about various fields of science in an engaging and accessible way, while allowing listeners to discover modern, reliable, and important scientific knowledge.
