For student registration, it is necessary to present a student ID card and complete the registration form at the Library lending desk, or give consent for entering user data into Bukinet via AAI@EduHr.
By registering with the Library, a contractual relationship is established between the user and the Library, regulated by the EFRI Library Rules of Procedure.
Library membership is free of charge, while services are charged according to the current EFRI Library Price List.
Book Loans
Students of the Faculty may borrow up to three books at the same time. For the purpose of writing a final, graduate, or doctoral thesis, students may borrow up to five books at the same time. Books may be kept for 30 days, with the possibility of loan renewal.
Users may renew borrowed books themselves through the library catalogue if the book has not been reserved by another user and the return deadline has not passed. Loans can also be renewed at the lending desk, or by contacting the Library by e-mail or phone.

The Library also provides interlibrary loan services for books and other publications from Croatian and international libraries. Please send an e-mail with the bibliographic information about the book or article to knjiznica@efri.uniri.hr. Interlibrary loan services are charged according to the EFRI Library Price List.
Acquisition
Teachers, other Faculty staff, and students may suggest the purchase of library materials. Suggestions should refer to materials needed for teaching and scientific research processes, and the person making the suggestion should state the purpose for which the proposed material is needed.
If the material is required or supplementary literature for a course, the teacher should state the course for which the literature is needed and the expected number of students attending the course.
