The aim of this paper was to obtain reliable data on the use of 26 Croatian scholarly economic journals, available in the open access of the National and University Library for the period 1998- 2000. This research was conducted by evaluating the results of 700 subject searches in the NUL online catalogue. During the five-year period, 1 513 articles were used, of which 535 were used only once, and the other 978 more than a few times (that is – in more than one request for subject search). The importance of subject cataloguing of Croatian journals (Croatian bibliography. Series B, Articles in journals and proceedings) was stressed as users can thus have an easier access to journals' contents which facilitates their research
