• 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
