Abstract

This paper describes the foundation of Green Libraries of Energetic Efficiency (or Green EE Libraries) in Croatia, with a special emphasis on the Green EE Library founded at the Law Faculty Library in Osijek. Green Libraries of Energetic Efficiency have been founded as a result of a project “Removing Barriers to Energy Efficiency in Croatia” (EE project) with a goal to disseminate and make visible the information and publications created within the Project to wider Croatian public. The EE project, initiated in 2005, aims at removing barriers for the implementation of economically feasible, energy efficient technologies and measures in residential and public sectors in Croatia while implementing the principles of systematic energy management in the public sector. An important facet of the project is its focus on citizens, which is evident from media campaigns, multi-media publications, brochures, various lectures and the network of Info points for energy efficiency. Among those Info points are currently ten Green Libraries situated at public and academic libraries in nine Croatian cities (Zagreb, Pula, Osijek, Krizevci, Prelog, Sisak, Rijeka, Split, and Zadar). This paper focuses on the everyday education activities, types of customers , their expectations and needs of those Green EE Libraries. The paper also gives the findings of the survey conducted among ten Green EE Libraries in Croatia about their experience in the project as well as the expected impact of the Green EE Library materials on their customers.
