The Faculty’s students and researchers may enjoy all the benefits of the central University Library located downtown, and the specialized Law Library located at the Faculty’s building.
The Law Library holds different types of library materials, such as books, serial publications and databases. Among 50,000 titles the Law Library holds there are also five collections of law books and materials: Senj Archdiocese Collection, Viktor Ružić Collection, Academician Lujo Margetić Collection, Petar Simonetti Collection and Petar Šarčević Collection. There are also other valuable collections of current scholarship such as Research Methodology Collection or Sports Law Collection. Resources which cannot be accessed directly from the Library, can be made available at request by means of interlibrary loans. The search of all library catalogues of University of Rijeka and available databases is possible through a unique common interface, called Discovery Service.
In line with its modern mission, the Law Library provides information and training in the field of information literacy, research techniques, tips and tricks, open science, valuation of research, etc. Such services are not only available individually (such as for the doctoral students or researchers in general) but are also integrated in the law courses and tailored to the specific levels of respective study programs. This interdisciplinary (law and information science) approach to teaching and researching legal topics and resources is possible in a view of the highly skilled Law Library personnel, who are open for collaboration with academic staff. Such services are particularly important for our doctoral students and researchers at early stages of their careers.
