Abstract

During 2016 many students and researchers visited Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek through different exchange projects. Among them were two scientists from the Republic of India. Their visit and their usage of the libraries at the Department of Physics and Faculty of Food Technology was the occasion to have an interview with them about the functioning of the libraries in India. The interview focused on the library web pages, their catalogues and repositories, social networks as the forms of communication between the libraries and library users, library working hours and availability of articles in the reading rooms, membership organization and reading habits (paper books versus e-books) of library users.
