Free access to contemporary library and information resources is essential for the high-quality education of our students, as well as the work of our faculty and staff.

Access to modern information sources is crucial for the high quality of education provided to our students, for the research activities of our lecturers, and for the work of our employees.

The Library and Information Centre (BIC) is the primary resource hub at VUM, supporting the library and information needs of the educational, scientific, research, and cultural activities of students, faculty, and staff, as well as external users. This is achieved through the application and full use of both traditional and information and communication technologies.

VUM also offers a student portal (Online campus), which is a web-based database accessible through any internet browser. The portal stores all study materials for various subjects, as well as supporting materials, case studies, presentations, and more. It also provides a platform for exam grades, project assignments, and facilitates knowledge exchange between lecturers and students.

BIC operates according to the regulations governing its organisation and activities, as well as the rules for user services. It employs a modern organisational-functional model and incorporates leading library and information practices to ensure a high standard of library and information provision that meets readers' needs.

BIC offers students, faculty, and staff of VUM, as well as external users, free access to an extensive collection of reference materials, academic texts, educational resources, and teaching aids. These include thousands of titles in areas such as marketing, management, economics, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, tourism and hospitality, information technology, pedagogy, culinary arts, foreign language training, and more. The collection includes books, audio, video, electronic publications, maps, periodicals in Bulgarian, English, French, German, Russian, and other languages, as well as dissertations. A dedicated depository for student dissertations is also being developed.
