Kyiv Theological Seminary has an advanced and contemporary library. The principles of KTS library work are being governed by its goals and practical implementation of specific purposes. The goal of KTS Library is to create a contemporary, well-organized academic and information database. We strive to provide teaching and learning activities along with proper resources to meet the needs of students in Christian ministry and personal spiritual growth.
For successful implementation of this goal the library systematically accomplishes a number of objectives:
- Acquires and systematizes, using Dewey decimal system, new information resources (books, journals, newspapers), constantly replenishing its reserves.
- Makes the resources available for students, professors and KTS staff.
- Provides the readers with efficient help in finding requested information by using an electronic catalogue.
KTS Library book collection estimates 35,000 volumes, including resources in English, Russian and Ukrainian languages. It boasts a large selection of academic resources in the area of Bible study and theology. The library consists of a reference room, a subscription room and two book depository rooms accessible to the public.
The cataloging system was updated to an electronic version in 2014. An online program enables the readers to browse the library inventory using the Internet. One can perform the search without logging into the program. Extended options of the catalogue are open to the students, professors and the seminary staff only. The readers should consult the library to acquire full access to the catalogue.
EAAA Online Library
The students are eligible to acquire access to EAAA Online Library – database and resources for the ministry of Christian education. The student should seek help from a KTS librarian to gain access to the resource.
