General information on purchasing books
The University Library builds a collection of books, periodicals and other types of documents, profiled in accordance with the fields of study and research objectives of UWB.
According to the rules established by the Bursar's Board in 2000, the purchase of the library collection is paid for from several sources:
- from the funds of individual departments: both the purchase of literature for academic staff, who usually have them on long-term loan, and books for students in reading rooms and for lending libraries are covered
- The University Library uses its budget to pay for electronic information resources of multidisciplinary nature, books and journals of reference and encyclopaedic type
- donations: e.g. university textbooks published by UWB and some other publications of university libraries
Individual departments and the library can purchase library collections either from regular operating funds or from earmarked funds (grants, research projects, etc.).
If you have suggestions for additional titles to purchase, please contact your department or your teachers, or submit a suggestion via the online form Book Purchase Proposal (Czech only) – we will try to handle your request.
