Research work also suffers from measures to prevent and suppress new coronavirus, because despite technological innovations, conventional use of library and archives is an inevitable step. Thus, in the field of historiography, a special library, such as the Library of the Institute of History, which holds special collections of old and rare books, periodicals, manuscripts and editions containing information for deepening knowledge in scientific research, is of particular importance; and we are eagerly awaiting the normalization of the situation. 

In the meantime, users can certainly explore the fund through the library's electronic catalog, as the Library actively participates in a mutual COBISS catalog with approximately 60% of titles "entered" into the local database. Digitalized contents of some rare editions and old periodicals dating back to the first half of the 19th century is also available online, as well as the complete years of the Historical Records.

Fund of the Institute of History contains fundamental and specialized works (books, manuscripts, brochures, newspapers, magazines, etc.) that are content in narrowly specialized fields, above all historiography as a multidisciplinary science, but also other border disciplines. It also contains all those materials that are produced as a result of scientific research and educational work: scientific and professional papers, proceedings, separate, master's and doctoral dissertations ... It preserves the legacies of distinguished scientists and a rich fund of referral literature as a separate entity. Special status is given to publications which by their value belong to cultural monuments as prescribed by the applicable law.

In addition, the Library Fund is constantly enriched with purchases, gifts, exchanges with scientific and related institutions from the country and abroad and issues of the Institute of History. Essentially, the contents of professional, scientific, cultural and artistic value are acquired, as well as all kinds of secondary and tertiary information sources in the field of science, profession and discipline of their home institution. Old and rare books and old periodicals, manuscripts and memoirs, dictionaries, manuals and encyclopedias are published for use by cultural and public workers and students exclusively in the Library's reading room.

Applying new information technology, the Library provides services for available sources of information, primarily databases. An online catalog with the trend of discontinuing classic catalogs ensures a greater level of service, while harmonizing book popularity and reading. In an online environment, the Library gradually and retroactively secures the systematic growth of funds through the catalog-bibliographic processing of information in the mutual catalog of the unique library-information system of the program platform. Technological innovations are changing existing habits, which are gradually creating a new environment and a new way of communicating with libraries and sharing resources. The automation of the library business process has led to an improvement in the way of communication with system libraries, as far as sharing of resources is concerned. Electronic document distribution services are much more affordable and competitively priced compared to the interlibrary loan system. The Library is headed by Mrs. Snezana Jovanovic, PhD, a librarian consultant.
