Book

The finest academic law library in the region is located in the very Faculty building, occupying the area of around 2,000 sq. meters, with 600 sq. meters of reading rooms, one of which is reserved for researchers and teachers only.  The outstanding collection of materials from all bodies of law, as well as from other social sciences, in Serbian and in foreign languages, is comprehensively catalogued by author and subject both in hard-copy and in electronic format.*  The Library Bulletin with information on new titles is published every two months.

In addition to electronic searches of the Library's resources, the academic network users have electronic access to the largest libraries in Serbia, and, through the University Library and the National Library, to the major international services with 14,000 international Booksmagazines in full text. The Faculty also provides access from its work stations to one of the best electronic legal research databases “Paragraf Net”.

Thus the library provides an attractive setting for the work of both students and faculty and is an important information center for practicing lawyers and scholars from other disciplines. A significant number of work stations, with the possibility of connecting portable laptop computers to the Library network, makes the Library an ideal environment for legal research and study, where researchers can easily work with books and electronic information sources.

*The Library collection comprises 138,000 monographs, 2,670 titles with 32,600 years of serial publications, reference collection with over 400 encyclopaedias, lexicons, dictionaries and other reference books, and a priceless collection of 91 rarities (featuring several XVII and XVIII century editions of Justinian’s Codification, a singular edition of Corpus Iuris Canonici, etc.).
