International University of Sarajevo (IUS) is continuously working for 11 years to strengthen and expand the capacity of services offered to all students at all three study cycles. The IUS library is built in accordance with the principles of open access to knowledge and information. Since 2014, the Library is located on the 3rd floor of the B building of the University, and has more than 13,000 book units, 100 seats in the premises for reading, as well as seven computers with fast internet connection. New and well-equipped rooms of the library provide users with better conditions for use of the library fund.
As a result of a very successful cooperation with numerous institutions and organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and beyond, university has managed to collect a significant number of books in various fields, in order to facilitate the work of students and academic staff. IUS has signed an agreement with the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NUL). We have access to use of materials that are part of their Library. All employees and students who wish to use the services of the Library need to bring an IUS ID card. It is also important to mention that the IUS recently became a full member of the International Association of Universities (IAU). Membership in the Organization provides certain benefits such as subscription to the magazine '' Higher Education Policy ''. IUS is also subscribed to several other databases, and on the website of the university, following database can be found:
- Ebsco
- Jstor
- World Bank – Global Development Finance
- World Bank-World Development Indicators (WDI)
- ASOS-Academia Social Sciences Index
- Dart Europe E-theses
- National Databases ( ULAKBIM )
These databases offer over a million of e-books, titles and articles! Users do not need to create a username and password because access is allowed through the IP address, so that the search can be carried out solely within the University. These databases can be found on the website of the University under the section: study, Library and then users can select the database they wish to search. Future plan for IUS library is to create in addition to learning rooms for students a special room for graduate students, a bookstore and a café.
