Along with other agents of information activities in the country, it ensures Slovenia an entrance to the streams of the modern world's information society.


Building is located in the centre of Maribor in Slovenia. It was built in 1965 and constructed by Ivan Kocmut. At first it was used for other purposes but nowadays serves as Institute of information science.
