New exhibition “Change Starts with Us” – Human Rights Day 2017.
Human Rights Day is celebrated every year on 10 December. It is the day when the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. For the first time in the history of mankind, the right of all people to “life, liberty and security without any discrimination” was recognized.
This year, Human Rights Day celebrates the seventieth anniversary of the adoption of the document that distinguishes the inalienable rights of all human beings – regardless of race, sex, religion, language, political, national, material or other basis. Since then, it has been translated into more than 500 languages.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights enriches and empowers every individual. The principles discussed and officially formulated in 1948 are still relevant today. The emphasis is on the individual’s will and initiative to represent their own and other people’s rights.
It is important to take the initiative in everyday life and support the rights that protect us and thereby promote the connection of all human beings.
With this in mind, the EFOS library has decided to welcome this year’s Human Rights Day with a new exhibition where we will think and learn about equality and freedom.
Change starts with us: http://www.standup4humanrights.org/en/take-action.html

“Literacy Today” exhibition: International Literacy Day, 8 September
This year’s theme of International Literacy Day is “Literacy in the Digital World”. The goal is to reflect on the types of literacy that are needed in a digitally mediated society and to explore effective literacy policies and programs in accordance with the possibilities of the digital world. The background of this year’s theme is the UNESCO declaration on inclusive and equal education and lifelong learning, Education 2030: Incheon Declaration and Framework for Action.
Digital technologies are fundamentally changing the way we live, work, socialize and learn at unprecedented speed. They provide new opportunities to improve all aspects of human life including access to information, knowledge management, networking, social services, industrial production and the way of working.
However, those who do not have access to digital technologies and the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities could end up on the margins of digital society. Literacy is definitely one of those skills.
The fact remains that today in the world, despite progress, at least 750 million adults and 264 million minors still lack basic literacy skills.
It is up to us to take advantage of the environment we are in! We have selected books that can make it easier for us to move in the world today. With the exhibition, we covered topics such as lifelong education, digital economy, speaking, presentation skills, public speaking, e-learning, media culture, verbal and non-verbal communication, and business communication.
The “What’s new?” exhibition in the Library
One of the main goals of the library is to provide access to a variety of information to help in professional and private activities and the advancement of the community. Researching the literature undoubtedly broadens the horizons and forms the opinions and attitudes of the community.
As a higher education library, we are mostly based on material that is represented in the study plan and program. However, it’s a rather mixed bag. From children’s picture books and fiction to psychology, sociology and philosophy.
Where do we find information and how do we navigate it? Why do we do it? Librarian work is based on good organization of information – book and non-book materials. For the last few years we have been working on online catalog an online catalog of the materials we own so that you know what you can borrow and use. From printed materials, journals and books, to electronic sources. We are working on a repository of final, graduate, scientific and similar papers that you can access at any time. We prepare and collect literature for users’ professional topics from a huge number of sources. We archive it and organize it... At the end of the day, we are sure that we do all this precisely for the benefit of the community, scientists, students... – users.
Since new material is constantly arriving, we decided to single out the books that have arrived in the last few months. “What’s new?”, you may ask. Come, ask and – see for yourself!
“Children’s literature as a second calling” exhibition
The library of the Faculty of Economics and Business in Osijek participated in the Creative Treasury in 2017 with the topic “Children’s Literature as a Second Calling”. As part of that event, a round table was held as well as an open exhibition on the mentioned topic. The works of Dubravka Pađen Farkaš, director of the Osijek City and University Library, and professors Antoaneta Klobučar, Ivana Barković Bojanić and Jasna Horvat were presented.
The authors of children’s books, for whom this is not their primary occupation, reflect on the alchemy of the literary word. They are statisticians, mathematicians, professors, librarians, and also writers. Likewise, it is considered whether words as a supreme art translated into children’s books are precisely the eternally sought after elixir. The entire oeuvre of children’s books by the above-mentioned authors was collected and displayed at the exhibition.
“Think about equality” exhibition
As part of International Women’s Day 2017, we present to you an exhibition entitled “Think about equality”. It tries to encourage a dialogue about gender equality through the materials of the Library of the Faculty of Economics and Business in Osijek. Various materials about women in the economy, the issue of inequality and the fight for women’s rights were exhibited.
The idea of celebrating International Women’s Day appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, during the era of industrialization, which often led to protests due to poor working conditions. Even today, that holiday should not lose its ideological basis and become a consumerist holiday, but represent a celebration of the economic, political and social equality of women. The library, as an institution whose role it is to spread democratic ideas, encourages its users to think about gender equality through the exhibition and provides relevant sources on the aforementioned.
Librarians: Ivana Kordić, Marta Matijević, Rebeka Palinkaš
“Domestic and International Exchange of Journals” exhibition”“
A new exhibition called “Domestic and International Exchange of Journals” has been set up in our Library. In order to achieve the task of information support for scientific research work, the Library traditionally nurtures and strives to expand the long-standing practice of cooperation with economic and related faculties, and other publishing institutions in the country and abroad, which also includes the exchange of scientific journals.
Come give us a visit, we are looking forward to seeing you!
Izložba “U sjećanje na Alfreda Nobela”
Druga izložba predstavljena povodom Mjeseca hrvatske knjige je “U sjećanje na Alfreda Nobela” koja kroz izložena izdanja i popratne materijale nastoji upoznati korisnike s dobitnicima Nobelove nagrade za ekonomiju, njihovim teorijama i najpoznatijim djelima. Knjižnica je povodom ove izložbe nastojala nabaviti što više knjiga autora – dobitnika Nobelove nagrade koja su vrlo zanimljiva i od sada dostupna svim korisnicima.
Nobelovu nagradu za ekonomiju je ustanovila Švedska banka na svoju tristotu obljetnicu 1969. godine i puno ime nagrade glasi Nagrada Švedske banke za Ekonomske znanosti u sjećanje na Alfreda Nobela.
As part of the celebration of the Croatian Book Month, we present to you an exhibition entitled “Evolution of library activity through the years”, which, through the displayed titles, aims to promote and show the changes that have affected libraries. The exhibition is a vivid display of the successful adaptation of traditional library values to a new, modern environment. Through the exhibition, we follow the development of the librarian profession during the transitional years and see a departure from the classic pattern, which is complemented by the acquisition of new information knowledge and skills. During the exhibition, you can learn about the library’s basic tasks, professional processing, their mission, as well as the role and tasks of the library today. Librarians are presented as mediators in searching for and delivering the necessary information and relevant sources, as well as experts and users of social media, digital repositories, databases and online catalogs, which at the same time confirm their role as executors in the process of lifelong learning.
Book Face is a creative and fun way to promote books and reading. The cover of a book or journal becomes a challenge in which participants must harness their creative skills to create an imaginary situation and environment and become someone else, at least for a little while. The initiative has already become a global trend among libraries, and many interesting examples can be found on this topic on websites, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest profiles of libraries around the world. For inspiration, it is enough to use the hashtag #bookface or simply browse the shelves of the nearest library or bookstore.
“ Evolution of library activity through the years” exhibition Humans of EFOS library was inspired and created as our response to Mr. Brandon’s first and original artistic/social idea Humans of New Yorkwhich you can find on the website http://www.humansofnewyork.com/ and on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyorkWith photographs of students, professors, faculty employees, users, visitors, demonstrators and librarians, their short stories and the background space of the Library, we wanted to bring you closer to the famous faces you meet in and out of its space, and in this way show you the other side of your Library.
The initiative was designed on the model of the American version of „Blind date with a book“, which aimed to attract as many users as possible to our Library, introduce them to the reading niche, and encourage them to read, i.e. make a guerilla marketing of sorts for the library. The books wrapped in symbolic red paper had a theme suitable for “Valentine’s Day”, while those wrapped in plain brown paper were representatives of “anti-Valentine’s” books, so to speak. The initiative resulted in a good form of promotion – connecting users and the library. Numerous users visited the library that day, supported the initiative, socialized with the staff, and chose for themselves or their loved ones exactly the book that attracted them.
We hope you will like it.
We thank everyone for their cooperation; especially to those who claimed that they do not like to be photographed and that they are not photogenic.
Librarians: Danijela Benić, Jasenka Pejaković, Martina Plaščak

The “Green Library” project was started by the Society of Librarians of Istria in 2011. With the establishment of the Commission for Green Libraries at the Croatian Library Association in 2014, the project soon expanded. The National and University Library in Zagreb presented the “Green Library for a Green Croatia” project in 2016, and continued the “Let’s Start Green Libraries in Croatia” program in 2018. Working groups for the promotion of green libraries also operate at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The goal of this project is to educate the public through libraries and library societies and spread awareness about sustainable development and the necessity of environmental protection.
The library of the Faculty of Economics and Business in Osijek joined the project in 2016 and has been participating in a series of activities since then:
There is public interest in the activities of the “green library”, as evidenced by an interview in “Glas Slavonije”:
