The primary service of the Library is direct service to the Library users. The Library and expert skills of the Library staff (5) are the key elements of support to formal education and development of information literacy in combining library collections and other accessible sources of information with the curricula.
Librarians’ professional skills, a well-equipped library, expert and planned assembling of library collections and undisturbed access to national and international databases are important if we wish to guarantee a high-quality education and research work.
The Library is an organisational unit of the Faculty with an aim to ensure the conditions for conducting teaching, research and professional activities of the Faculty through access to all types of information in any form, by assembling own collections of library holdings and other sources of information.
Besides acquisition, professional processing, preservation and loan of library material, the Library is involved in:
- ensuring the access to the Library holdings as well as to the holdings of other libraries in Croatia and abroad according to the needs and requirements of its users
- ensuring the access to databases and other sources of information
- motivating, supporting and instructing the users in their choice and use of library holdings, finding and assessing the sources of information
- developing information literacy and critical thinking, motivating the users to learn and research, supporting the teaching process
- creating appropriate conditions for research work of research-teaching staff of the Faculty
- organizing, conducting and improving interlibrary loan with libraries in Croatia and abroad
- promoting, developing, teaching, researching and disseminating information on values basic for the European Union through systematic access of the Library within the framework of the services of the European Documentation Centre in cooperation with the Chair in European Law of the Faculty for academic and wider community at local and regional level.
