Library opening hours:
every weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
In accordance with epidemiological measures, the group and silent study reading rooms have a total of 20 workspaces available on a first-come, first-served basis. No prior notice is required if participants in the Pedagogical, Psychological, Didactic and Methodological Training Programme only need to use a computer in the reading room. If they need to use books from the Library of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek while working in the reading room, a list of the required books must be sent by e-mail to knjiznica@ffos.hr 24 hours before arriving at the Library. The Library stores books at two locations, so time is required to prepare the requested items, particularly when seminar literature is concerned.
The Library offers a literature scanning service for participants in the Pedagogical, Psychological, Didactic and Methodological Training Programme who attend classes online, in compliance with copyright regulations. Parts of books (up to 20 pages), as well as scientific and professional articles, may be scanned at the user’s request. For the scanning service, please contact kmitric@ffos.hr (Kristina Kiš).
