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.

You are open-minded, communicative, love comfortable studying or team work and want to have all the necessary books right next to you? Then you’re spot on!

We have redesigned our large reading room on level 2 (Z.2.10) and offer, from 7. 11. 2022 onwards, a centrally-located room free for you to use:

There, you will find a meeting and communication area for group projects, private get-togethers, relaxed breaks and whatever else you can think of!

 

One non-rest area – many chances:

  • chat & chill
  • gather & play
  • read & write
  • or simply meet & relax

As of 7. 11. 2022, our motto is: DON’T shut up and sit down!

 

Get together, chat, eat, drink, study or just get comfortable in a relaxed atmosphere – and all this with a certain something: more than one million items for study purposes, job and life within your reach!

For larger activities (games evening, reading group, tutorials, poetry slams, stand-up theatre, aso) please contact our information desk on level 3 or send us an email at info [dot] bibliothek [at] aau [dot] at with your plans so that we can book the area for you.

 

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Please don’t forget that lockers are obligatory!

 

 

Building site in reading room on level 3 (noise disturbance)

To protect the reading room and the books on its open shelves from heavy rain, the drains in the ceiling of the reading room (above the bookshelves) have to be secured and insulated. Work in progress between 11.10.2022 and the end of October.

During this time, higher noise levels are to be expected; in addition, certain shelves will not be accessible at short notice.

Please contact the information desk if you need a book from those shelves. Please DON’T enter the closed-off sections! Please DON’T cross the barriers!

Thank you for your understanding.

 

For questions, contact us during the loan desk’s regular opening hours.
