At the end of October, we launched for students an e-loan for online access to books at the university. And although pick-up places have recently opened in libraries, the e-loan is still functional and highly used, as the statistics for the first six weeks of operation prove.
According to statistics, from the launch date of October 23 to December 4, a total of 4,015 unique users used the e-loan, who made 21,426 e-borrowings of books. And during one such e-loan, the student viewed an average of 27 pages.
In addition to the usefulness of the e-loan, as a bonus, it converts more literature into digital form. Within six weeks, skilled librarians from university libraries managed to scan 525 books.

As in the spring, this time has the Faculty of Law the first place in e-loans again. Its students make up almost 30 percent of the usage of e-loan. It is no wonder that the topmost viewed e-book is the Civil Procedure: General Part and Disputed Procedure. And MUNI LAW is also a record holder who has 123 e-loans on his account.

As of 1 August 2024, the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop licence, which was previously available to all MU employees and students, will no longer be available at Masaryk University. As an alternative, we recommend switching to the more modern ArcGIS Pro, which offers a modern user interface, greater stability, more advanced features and better user support.
