About
History
The study of Economics in Osijek began on June 25, 1959 with the establishment of the Center for Economic Studies, which became the Higher School of Economics in 1960 and, finally, the Faculty of Economics on September 1, 1961. As one of the founders, the Faculty of Economics in Zagreb provided expert support to the establishment of the Faculty of Economics and its library. Their support continues to this day. The Library of the Faculty of Economics in Osijek was established simultaneously with the foundation of the Faculty and has been its integral part since then. During the Homeland War, the Faculty received sixteen direct hits, one of which destroyed and damaged part of the library space and library holdings.
Today, the Library is a part of the Faculty as a separate unit responsible for the acquisition, processing, dissemination, loan and keeping of professional and scientific literature as well as providing information support for students and assistance in scientific research work for the teaching staff. The Library has a standing cooperation with the libraries of other faculties of economics in Croatia (Dubrovnik, Opatija, Pula, Rijeka, Split, Varaždin, Zagreb), as well as with individual libraries abroad (Augsburg, Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana, Maribor, Pecs, Pforzheim). In addition, the Library collaborates with the City and University Library Osijek, the National and University Library in Zagreb, the Croatian Librarian Association, the Association of Librarians of Slavonia and Baranja, publishers, secondary schools and their teachers.
Space and equipment
The Library is located on the ground floor of the Faculty and covers an area of over 400 m2 in which there is a lending department with free access shelves and a reading room. There is also a closed storage intended for library materials. The Library has five computers for employees, two printers and two scanners. In the reading room there are thirty-four computers intended for users. The computers are equipped with MS Office packages and Internet access with the possibility of local and international databases through the Centre for online databases. At the beginning of 2014, the Library purchased the CROLIST program for library activities and began with the formation of an online catalog.
Library collections
The sum total of the library’s holdings is close to 40,000 volumes and 125 titles of professional and scientific journals and newspapers. The bulk of the books were purchased with the Faculty’s own financial resources, and the rest were obtained through gifts and exchanges or various foundations. The Library collection includes textbooks, manuals, periodical publications, master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, final theses, and other professional and scientific literature that is needed for the studies of economic sciences. There is a separate section for reference books: encyclopedias, lexicons and dictionaries. Users are allowed free access to the library holdings and catalog. All library materials are available for loan or for work in the reading room.
