Through the merger of two-year post-secondary schools of economics into the Junior Commercial College there developed an idea of establishing a publishing service, which was from the beginning conceived so as to meet students’ needs for textbook-literature. The beginnings were modest. Only three titles marked 1973.
Today, we can with undisguised satisfaction pride ourselves on some forty titles of basic and auxiliary textbooks per annum, which is, undoubtedly, a remarkable contribution to a prestigious educational process.
Striving to ensure the fastest and simplest possible provision of technical literature and textbooks necessary for studying, the School opened two bookshops in the building entrance hall working in two shifts.
In April 2005, Belgrade Business School became a member of the US Library of Congress (www.loc.gov), the nations' oldest federal cultural institution and also the largest library in the world, with more than 130 million items on approximately 530 miles of bookshelves. The collections include more than 29 million books and other printed materials, 2.7 million recordings, 12 million photographs, 4.8 million maps, and 58 million manuscripts. This membership implies the exchange of textbooks and technical literature in electronic form. |
