The Centre of Information Technologies has undergone another significant reduction of its staff. Even under new conditions its employees are trying to carry on the good tradition of providing top quality information service to ensure efficient scientific, research and teaching activities for teaching and research staff as well as students.

The Centre of Information Technologies is divided into two specialized parts – the group of informatics and the group of computer applications.

The group of informatics provides students, research and teaching staff of the Faculty of Military Health Sciences and members of the Military Medical Service of the Army of the Czech Republic with wide scientific and information services. The main information services are provided by the library with 100 000 library units concerning medicine as well as associated branches. Information sources in the field of military medicine, emergency medicine and disaster medicine are specificity of this library. The library enables access to various information databases (WoK, SpringerLink, BiblioMedica, ProQuest etc.) and provides systematic help when being used.

The group of informatics compiles and processes bibliographical records of works published by the employees of the Faculty of Military Health Sciences that serve as sources for Annual Report, for evaluation of research and teaching staff of the Faculty and for reports on research plans and projects for Board of Government for Science and Research.

The group of computer applications provides the operation of the faculty network, enables access to army, specialized and public information systems and supplies the needs of the Faculty with modern information technologies. Main activity of the group is ensuring the access to INTERNET and to specialized information systems. Management of data network, central management of software, servicing as well as specialized support of users is also provided.

Part of this group are also graphic services that create graphic documents and posters for presentations, make arrangements and changes of drafts for printing, make digital pictures and do other associated work. It also provides the operating and updating of the web site of the Faculty (http://www.pmfhk.cz).

The printing-office of the Centre is, due to the drastic staff reduction, able to cover reprographic and printing needs of the Faculty by its own sources only in limited extent. It works together with the printing-office of the University of Defence in Brno.
