Due to the public health requirements to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Library’s operations and services have been modified. Students are not allowed to use the regular library facilities. Books can be checked out in room 315 (which is the library’s hall) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, with the exception of Tuesdays when the check-out counter will be open between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Please remember to place an order by sending us an email (biblioteka.osa@uw.edu.pl) or by calling us (22 55 333 30).

While the regular reading room will be closed, students will be able to use room 311, our makeshift reading room, during the Library’s opening hours.

80% of the Library’s collections can be searched through the Main Library’s catalogue (https://chamo.buw.uw.edu.pl). The entire ASC Library collection can be searched only on-site.

In these difficult times, we want to provide the best services possible to our readers. We encourage all ASC students to contact us with all their questions, doubts, and suggestions!

29 stycznia: Broń jądrowa – zagrożenie czy gwarancja pokoju? Klub Amerykański #5: Paweł Frelik i Jan Smoleński

January 26, 2026

Wielu z nas wydawało się, że po zakończeniu zimnej wojny temat bomby atomowej i nuklearnego wyścigu zbrojeń zszedł na dalszy plan. W USA zaprzestano prób jądrowych, a międzynarodowe traktaty spowodowały, że w amerykańskich laboratoriach nie tworzono już nowych rodzajów tej broni.
