Library NEWS: Klagenfurt university library in “relaxed mode” (locker policy)

The pandemic is over and we are taking a further step towards normality!

Our library isn‘t just a classical study area but also a space to network and openly get-together.

We are constantly working at adapting the library to the various needs of our users. Where the design of our premises is concerned, we pay particular attention to creating a comfortable atmosphere.

In autumn 2022, the periodicals reading room was turned into a “non-rest area” and has served as an open space to meet and communicate ever since, where conversation, eating and drinking are permitted.

In the wake of this development, we have given some thought to classical library rules, and as a result we are now relaxing our locker policy:

Please feel free to continue using the lockers in the basement, the bibliobags as well as the express coat rack in the library’s entrance area (particularly when you have valuables to stow).
But independent of this, it is permitted to take coats, jackets, rucksacks and bags into the library again.

We are looking forward to a lively library: use our extensive services: 24 hours / seven days a week / in a relaxed atmosphere.

Please send us feedback!

If you have further ideas for a “lively library”, please contact the loan desk personally or go to feedback [dot] bibliothek [at] aau [dot] at.

New: ORF-Archive database – research access point

ORF (the Austrian Broadcasting Cooperation) is opening its archives for scientific and academic purposes. The user interface mARCo makes access to the ORF’s archive database possible.

Students and teachers of Klagenfurt University can access ORF broadcasting since 1955 (TV and radio) and discover broadcast documentation and viewing media like keyframes and preview videos.

With more than 750,000 hours of programme from TV and radio, the ORF archives provide a central data collection of Austrian and global contemporary history for study, scientific, academic and teaching purposes.

 

Prior registration to mARCo is mandatory.
