If you have not visited us yet, you can tour our library from the comfort of your own home. We have prepared a virtual library tour for you!

The Bory Library provides services mainly to the faculties and departments on the Bory campus (FAV, FST, FEK, FEL, FDU and ÚJP). This corresponds to the majority focus of the collection of documents and electronic information resources divided according to individual fields of study.

The book collection is available for open shelf access on the 2nd floor or by ordering from the depository. Periodicals, daily newspapers, publications by UWB staff are available for on-site study only.

University theses are available for on-site study (2002-2020) upon ordering from the depository. Theses defended in 2012 and later are available in full-text in the UWB Digital Library (except for theses that were granted an exception by the Dean). From 2021 onwards, university theses are only available in electronic form.
