Reservation of the material

Because we value your time we offer a new service – reservation of materials through “My Library” on COBISS.si.

Upon logging in the My Library system you choose the desired book in the UKNU catalogue and make a reservation. When we prepare the book, you get a notification via e-mail. Reserved materials will be waiting for you at the library for three working days after receiving the notification. If you will not require the material you can always cancel via the service, email or telephone, but unclaimed reserved materials will be charged according to the price list (0,50 EUR).

Information resources

The library provides off site access to several information resources, both from international and Slovenian sources. Access is enabled for library patrons with the same access information you use to reserve materials from the library.

If you haven’t recieved a password for accessing My Library on COBISS.SI, please call us on 01 251 44 85 or write to us at knjiznica@nova-uni.si.
