About the library

The Faculty of Informatics library opened its doors for the first time when the Faculty itself was established. Initially the stock of approximately 1,500 books primarily served the Institute of Computing, and this was later extended into the Informatics field, i.e. Computer Science. The stock is built systematically, with new titles being added as funds are secured. Approximately 90% of the books and magazines are in English, while the remaining 10% are in Czech. The Library currently holds 10,500 books and 80 journals and magazines. The Library has always granted direct access to the books and magazines, allowing the users to browse the shelves freely.

Since moving into its new premises in 1998, the library has seating space for 30 people.

The library is open to students and staff of the Faculty of Informatics, other faculties within Masaryk University, as well as VUT, the technical university in Brno which has its own Faculty of Informatics.
