Library – Services
Loans
Library materials available in multiple copies can be regularly borrowed from the Library. Users may borrow up to three different items at a time. The loan period is 15 days, with the possibility of extending it for an additional 15 days. If there is high demand for a particular item, the librarian may shorten the borrowing period. In the event of loss, the user is required to replace the item with the same title or compensate for its value.
Reservations
Library materials can be reserved for standard loans or weekend loans. Reservations can be made through the metLib application, in person at the library, by phone, or by email at knjiznica@foozos.hr.
Students will receive a confirmation of the reservation via email. Reserved materials must be collected within three working days.
Interlibrary Loan
Materials not available in the library’s collection can be requested from other libraries (domestic and international) through the interlibrary loan service.
Materials borrowed this way can only be used in the reading room.
Requests with details about the specific material must be submitted to the library in person or by email at knjiznica@foozos.hr.

Information Services
The library offers a service for finding appropriate literature for seminar papers, final papers, and graduate papers by searching the catalogues and databases. To submit your query, use the printed form available at the library or submit it online via the ‘REQUEST LITERATURE’ form.
User Education
Given the varying information needs of students depending on their study level, the library offers individual training in how to search the library catalogues, other library catalogues, and databases, with the aim of providing an overview of the different academic information sources they will need during their studies. This training focuses on teaching them how to use and evaluate such information.
If you want to learn how to search various information sources or just want to improve your existing knowledge, sign up by emailing knjiznica@foozos.hr.
Opening Hours
The library is open every working day from 7:30 to 20:00.
