Humans live in the world full of information and everything is available throughout the Internet. English language had spread itself in all aspects of life. It could be said that it is international language. For example, there is still low percentage of Croatians who speak and understand English well, which is a problem. In academic community, there are more and more different projects which are oriented to international cooperation and exchange of students and academic staff. The result of that is need for knowing English language well, both students and teachers. For realization of projects, increasing mobility and opening boundaries of European Union to other countries there is a need of encouragement to learn and improve English language and purchase larger quantities of professional literature in English. In this paper authors will explore availability issues of professional literature in English, costs of its purchase and book borrowing frequency at few higher educational institution libraries in Croatia, as well as Polytechnic in Pozega, focused on biotechnical and social sciences. Collected data will be statistically processed and will show which scientific field uses the foreign literature more and why.
