The Library of Zoology is located in the Hasdeu Student Complex, in the Museum of Zoology building, on the first floor (accessible by the spiral staircase)
The first publications of the Library of Zoology came from the Zoology Institute, the Speleological Institute, the Transylvanian Museum Society. In 1951, the Library of Zoology became a branch of CUL. The scientist Emil Racoviţă, an important figure in the fields of biology and speleology, was involved in the modernization of the library – he compiles a complete catalogue divided into subjects of the journals of natural and medical sciences, he acquired an impressive collection of books and magazines from the German anatomist Karl Gegenbauer.
The reading room is located at the entrance of the library and it offers its users: 30 sears, 2 computers for the online access to the CUL catalogue, the library databases and the subscribed databases, wi-fi, an exhibition of the new periodicals and free access to the shelves.
The library publications cover the following fields: natural sciences, biology, zoology, genetics, anatomy, animal and human physiology, ecology etc.
