About the Library of the Faculty of Civil Engineering

The Library was established in 1919 as the Central Lending Library of the Technical High School in Zagreb. With the development of the University, the Library underwent various changes, including changes in its name. Today, it serves as the Central Lending Library of the Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering, and Faculty of Geodesy of the University of Zagreb.

The number of borrowed books and journals exceeds 20,000 annually. The library collection consists of approximately 45,000 volumes of books, mostly in the fields of civil engineering, geodesy, architecture, and urbanism. There are about 300 journal titles, with 36 new titles being acquired each year. The reference collection includes a wide selection of encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference works. Additionally, the library houses all master's theses and doctoral dissertations defended at all three aforementioned faculties. The library maintains author, subject, alphabetical, and inventory catalogs.

The library collection is searchable through the catalog.
