PPCU libraries

The traditional document collection of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU) consists of the collections of the standalone libraries of the different faculties. Orientation in the book collection is made possible by the HUNTÉKA (Qulto) integrated library system administered by each faculty. The scope of library collections comprise a great variety of scholarly literature and source materials of the disciplines of the various faculties. Unique collections are made available for study and research nationally, regionally, and in some cases, even globally. Consciously and systematically, PPCU strives to develop its library collections which serve both high-quality education and outstanding research activities at the same time.

Online resources

Since 2018, an online repository of theses that were successfully defended at the different faculties is currently being built. Online consulting of these theses is currently possible via the Neptun education platform.

The university also stores dissertations defended by the students of PPCU doctoral schools in the MTA Real-PhD repository for long-term preservation and easy access. Institutional scientific publications’ data is administered by the faculty libraries in the MTMT database (i.e. the Hungarian Science Bibliography).

Faculty members and students of the university can also use a number of online databases subscribed by the libraries via remote access, regardless of location.
