Croatian Scientific Bibliography (CROSBI)

CROSBI provides a comprehensive overview of all the literature produced by Croatian scientists: journal articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, theses, reports, manuscripts, etc. Scientists themselves provide the data into the database, quite often before the paper has been published. Furthermore, CROSBI provides a digital archive of full-text papers. CROSBI offers "on demand" current bibliography for the institution, project, scientist or subject. Librarians are active partners in database maintenance too as they are correcting the data and communicating with scientists in order to improve the accuracy of the data.

How to use it in searching theses that are stored in our library:

  • use the key words or author as your query
  • when you find work that interest you pay attention that it is done at our Faculty (i.e. that it's not from Faculty of Agriculture or Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek)
  • write the author, title and year - give it to a librarian or if you are searching from home you can send it to us via email and next day come in the library and use it
  • you can use round to 4 titles
