Along with computers and Internet access, our libraries offer a wide range of scientific and professional literature in digital and print form.
You can access domestic and foreign books, textbooks, journals and magazines, diploma papers, dictionaries, lexicons, and almanacs. Every library has computers reserved for accessing RIT online database only.
Library Services
Handbooks and manuals are not to be taken out of the library. Books can be kept for three weeks, magazines two weeks, and video material two days. The retention period of other materials can be consulted with the librarian. In case you want to keep the material longer than the due date assigned, contact or visit the library in order to renew it, otherwise materials kept longer than their due dates will be considered "overdue” and you may be charged a fee. For any materials that are lost or returned in damaged condition, a fee will be charged to you. We highly appreciate honesty in reporting any material damage. The amount to be charged for the damage and/or loss of material will depend on the value of the replacement material or the cost of a new copy.
The library has a color printer and offers printing services. Plan your printing before deadlines in order to avoid a waiting period.
In order to use the library and it services to their fullest extent, the library offers training on using the RIT online library (also known as the Wallace Library), CBT (e-learning materials), and the RIT Croatia library. Other training, in areas such as Internet use and research, can be arranged with the librarian.
