Sažetak
The paper studies and analyzes the impact of university library collections and services on student achievement at selected Croatian universities. There have not been any studies on the impact of university libraries on their users in Croatia until now, and such studies are rare even around the world. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that it is very difficult to determine this impact, although it is a very important indicator of library services efficiency.
In the first part of the paper we present some relevant theoretical works on the importance of library evaluation, library statistics, and impact of libraries on their users. In the second part, we present and critically evaluate the results obtained in the study of university library impact on students’ achievement at Universities of Pula, Rijeka, Split, and Zadar.
