After a long preparation in the Library of the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts, the institutional repository called DesignPortal was launched in 2013, which implements the collection and publication of digital content created at the University, its content and thematic processing, and its long-term preservation. The project required innovative solutions from the developers, as the content created at the University includes a wide variety of works: from ceramic design to applications for smartphones to animated films, the range of documents that can be uploaded can range. In the first phase, the uploading of diploma theses, doctoral dissertations, and animated films began, and a year later, a database of faculty creators and publications, as well as a common search engine, were completed. At the same time, functions not closely related to the repository have been developed: in addition to librarians, students, consultants, opponents, diploma committee members and education secretaries are also involved in the work.
The National Document Supply System
The ODR (The National Document Supply System) is the centre of library services and has been operating since 1998. The system aims at making document service fully available to patrons of registered libraries in it. Such institutions are the national library, special libraries, state university libraries and county libraries. Besides inter library loan services, the ODR includes the location catalog of library documents, as well.
Within the frames of a TÁMOP project, in 2010-2011 our company developed and successfully launched a new system which enhanced the communication and cooperation between the libraries. New functions such as invoicing, statistics, workflow planning and monitoring were introduced. After the second phase of development, inter library loan requests became available for patrons as well through the online surface, where the status of each loan request can be tracked.
