The Jozef Stefan Institute Library is the main physics library in Slovenia. In addition, we have a comprehensive chemistry, biochemistry and computer science collection; when last we counted, it numbered about 45000 book and 50000 journal volumes. These can be viewed in our browsing and study rooms.

As one of the largest special libraries in Slovenia, we were at the forefront of library computerization in our country. So, we could tell you a lot about early difficult days of this project. Instead, we will proudly display the Slovene our on-line catalog, an COBISS developed by IZUM Maribor. We also use the MS ACCESS database to record and publish the day-by-day arrival of periodicals.

We are subscribe to four sections of the Current Contents service (Agricultural, Biologic and Environmental Science; Engineering, Technology and Applied Science; Life Science with abstracts; and Physical, Chemical and Earth Science with abstracts), some KR Information OnDisc databases (Environmental Management, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Abstracts), and some CD-ROM Encyclopedias (the Brittanica CD-ROM, and the McGraw-Hill Multimedia Encyclopedia of Science and Technology). As this material is copyrighted, we did not put it on the web; it can be perused at your leisure at a public workstation in the library. Also, we subscribe to a groving number of electronic journals mainly in the fields of physics and biochemistry.

We have access to Dialog on-line databases (SCISearch, CA Search, Dervent World Patent Index, Computer Database, and many, many more), and an experienced information officer, who will help you with your inquiries. You can drop in any work day from 8-19 (8-17 on Fridays).
