As part of the e-Universities<\/em><\/a> project, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) is completing its transition to the Alma library services platform and the related Primo VE discovery service<\/a>, owing to which its services will not be fully available between 8 and 12 November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning to Alma as the most advanced cloud-based library services platform and the related discovery service Primo VE, the Library will provide its users with a unified access to print, electronic and digital resources. Closing the era of the Library\u2019s use of the Aleph<\/a> integrated library management system, the segment of the implementation of Alma affecting the Library\u2019s users will be taking place between 8 and 12 November 2025<\/strong>, during which period the users may experience brief disruptions in the availability of our services<\/a> and collections<\/a> and in which connection it will not be possible to apply for NSK membership<\/a> from 8 to 11 November 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bukinet, a cloud-based system for Croatian academic libraries<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During a project aimed at the implementation of Alma\/Primo VE, which started on 15 January and will finish on 12 November, NSK successfully migrated the operations of altogether 83 Croatian academic libraries, including its own, without discontinuing its work<\/a> and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By setting up Bukinet<\/a>, a cloud-based system for Croatian academic libraries, the Library will enable the integration of itself and Croatia\u2019s other major academic libraries, along with special libraries, into a functional network making available over 4,1 million physical items, offering direct full-text access to more than 400 digital collections and enabling the use of over 500,000 e-journal articles and other digital resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alma\/Primo VE digital library platform offers its users generative AI tools, as functionalities facilitating research, and enables the easy management of reservation<\/a>, loan<\/a> and digitisation<\/a> requests. Also, it provides access to RapidILL<\/a>, a system for a fast and cost-effective delivery of article and book chapter scans, facilitates inter-library loans<\/a> in Croatia and abroad, booking study pods<\/a> for individual and group work offering up-to-date digital learning facilities, along with many other advanced features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convinced that this new and highly advanced digital library platform will make everyone\u2019s study <\/a>and research<\/a> easier and improve your experience with using our services<\/a> and collections<\/a>, we invite you to continue following our activities<\/a> in relation to this breakthrough transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
