How do I become a member of the library?

Anyone who presents a valid identity document, signs an accession statement and agrees to comply with the library’s rules can become a library member.

Full-time and part-time students of the School of Advanced Social Studies in Nova Gorica and of the Faculty of Information Studies in Novo Mesto do not have to pay the membership fee, because it is included in the price of enrolment for the current academic year. Other users pay a membership fee for the calendar year in accordance with the applicable price list.

Legal persons can also become a member of the library.

SASS and FIS students must present  their student identity card in order to use the library services. Other users can borrow the material by presenting an identity document.

 

WARNING! 

Library membership needs to be renewed every year. A change in address needs to be notified to the library. The prices of library registration fee, late fees, reminders and other library services are determined in the price list.

 

 

 

Borrowing

Only registered library members can borrow the material for home use. Users cannot borrow material for someone else or under a different name. Foreign citizens who do not have a permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia may borrow the material for home use on the basis of a guarantee of a citizen of the Republic of Slovenia.
