As usual, we offer students and external users the possibility to take out several open-shelf books for a longer period:
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:
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.

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!

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Please don’t forget that lockers are obligatory!
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.
Thank you for your understanding.
For questions, contact us during the loan desk’s regular opening hours.
