New schedule of fees and fines on 06.09.2018!

Dear AAU University Library users, dear AAU students,

Installation of the new library system „ALMA“ requires the adaptation of our fees and fines.

For your information – the new schedule of fees and fines comes into effect on 06.09.2018.

The most important changes concern overdue fines for everybody and registration fees for external users.

Overdue fines: From 06.09.2018, exceeding the loan period is charged with 50 cent per day/book.

Here you can find the complete schedule of fees and fine : https://www.aau.at/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ub_gebuehrenordnung.pdf

We ask all library users to observe their loan periods!

The customary email reminder remains in effect. This is no legally binding information but an additional service. As of 06.09.2018, all users also receive a loan receipt via email. The loan period stated on this receipt must be observed. We ask you to keep an eye on the email address linked to your library account.

Kind regards,
Your UL Team

ATTENTION: from 14.08.2018, 12:00 until 19.08.2018 at the latest, the local online catalogue (including orders)
and any other services connected to the online catalogue cannot be used due to preparations for the system change.
This is also true for the self-service kiosks. We are doing our utmost to keep this period as brief as possible!

  • Borrowed items can be returned to the return machine (outside entrance).

The borrowing period of items due during that time will be extended.

New library system ALMA – restricted library services, summer 2018.

Klagenfurt University Library changes its library system in summer 2018.
Due to this change, library services are interrupted from August to September.

We kindly ask you to take this information into consideration in your work plans!Borrowing, returning, paying fines, user accounts

The following options are not available:

  • Access to library accounts
  • Borrowing and returning
  • Orders and reservations
  • Inter-library loans

Library catalogue (OPAC) – search engine “surf@ubk”

  • After the system change, the old library catalogue (OPAC) is no longer available.
  • Research in the catalogue and in “surf@ubk” are possible during the system change, though with restrictions. The search engine of the Austrian Union Catalogue is available without restrictions.
  • Existing reservations and your borrowing history cannot be entered into the new system (data protection). Please save your borrowing history and make a note of current reservations.
  • After the system change in mid-September, your account is administrated via “surf@ubk” (log-in via your AAU account).

Use of e-resources & open shelves 

  • Access to e-resources is possible during the system change as usual via DBIS (data base information system) and EZB (electronic journal library).
  • Access to and use of open shelves as well as 24/7 services are possible.

Special borrowing period in summer

To counteract these restrictions, we offer an extended borrowing option: 12.07. – 26.09.2018, 10 items from reading rooms, 20 items from closed access.

 

Detailed information about these inevitable service restrictions can soon be found on the University Library’s homepage: » ub.aau.at
