New Chapter in the Digital Transformation of the Croatian Library System

On 12 November 2025 the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) transitioned to the Alma library services platform and the Primo VE discovery service.

NSK made this historic transition within the e-Universities project, funded as part of Croatia’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan 2021-2026. Significantly improving the search-and-discovery experience, this latest digital library services platform now offers unified access to print, electronic and digital resources, available both in open access and through subscription.

A cloud-based system for Croatian academic libraries, named Bukinet, functionally brings together into a seamlessly integrated network NSK and 82 Croatian academic libraries which have recognised the project as an ideal opportunity for effectively responding to the requirements of today’s library users.
