The Computer Information Center (CIC) of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Niš plays a vital role in supporting the academic and research activities of the institution. Its primary responsibilities include providing the necessary technical infrastructure for teaching and research, maintaining and expanding the faculty’s network systems, ensuring reliable internet connectivity, and administering both server infrastructure and workstations within its domain.
Over the past five years, the Faculty’s network infrastructure has undergone significant expansion. Several kilometers of cabling have been installed throughout the buildings, and the number of managed switches has grown from just six in 2005 to several dozen today. The network now relies on equipment from leading manufacturers such as CISCO, 3COM, Allied Telesyn, MicroTik, and other high-quality vendors, with installations covering both the old and new Faculty buildings. To complement this, the Faculty also operates a next-generation monitoring system (SolarWinds 10), providing real-time insight into all network activity.
The server infrastructure includes dozens of Dell and IBM servers, as well as a clustered server from Sun Microsystems. In order to enhance collaboration among staff, the Faculty migrated from Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange Server 2010 in early 2009, following Serbia’s transition to the new national domain (.rs). This upgrade introduced advanced features such as shared scheduling, task management, and seamless mobile synchronization via PUSH technology, which ensures that messages, calendars, and tasks are instantly delivered to mobile devices. While such services are typically expensive when offered by mobile operators, Faculty staff members benefit from them at no additional cost. Final upgrade was done in 2019, when Exchange 2019 was introduced working in Hybrid configuration with Microsoft Office 386
The CIC has introduced unified e-learning platform and is currently working to integrate with other University systems. Additionally, the Center has implemented a Document Management System (SharePoint in the Cloud) to streamline communication between administrative units and staff. Future plans include introducing electronic signatures for official documents, further enhancing efficiency and reducing reliance on paper-based processes.

The Library of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering plays a significant role in the academic and professional development of faculty members, staff, and students. The total area of the library is 1,108 m². The reading area is very spacious (800 m²) and provides over 200 seats. At the beginning of 1995, a portion of the reading space was renovated and adapted, resulting in a reading room with greatly improved conditions for study and research.
The library’s collection includes approximately 26,000 books, 239 foreign and 25 domestic periodicals, all doctoral and master’s theses defended at the Faculty, as well as undergraduate student theses. In addition, users have access to special library publications, including the Catalog of Periodical Publications in the Faculty of Electronic Engineering Library (editions from 1985 and 1990) and the Bibliography of Works by Faculty Members and Associates of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Niš.
Following modern trends in information services, the library has transitioned to computerized processing of its collection. Databases have been created for monographs and doctoral dissertations, journals, master’s theses, undergraduate theses, and scientific and professional works of faculty members and associates. Three library PCs provide users with access to these databases. The library computers are connected to the JUPAK network, enabling access to the databases of the National Library in Belgrade, the University Library in Belgrade, and the Matica Srpska Library in Novi Sad.
The library maintains very successful cooperation with other libraries and information centers in Niš, across Serbia, and in the region. Its developed lending system allows readers to access the collections of the largest regional libraries, which has been particularly important in recent years when foreign literature has been difficult to obtain.
Publishing Activities of the Faculty provide significant support for teaching and research activities. They serve as an indicator of the development of academic staff and scientific fields, making them an essential component of institutional and study program self-assessment and accreditation. For this reason, the Faculty aims to ensure the greatest possible coverage of teaching content with appropriate literature published under its name.
Publishing activities are carried out within the Publishing Unit. The Faculty publishes supplementary textbooks, textbooks, monographs, collections of papers, and other scientific and professional publications according to the annual publishing plan.
The publishing plan sets priorities for publication. Additionally, the Faculty produces informational guides, bulletins, and other publications for its own needs as well as for the needs of its students.
