UNIVERSITY LIBRARY KLAGENFURT

Dear users of Klagenfurt UL,
dear AAU students,

Ready to go:
We haven’t yet completed the system change, BUT:

The new version of our search engine is online: Surf@ubk
(of course also accessible from our homepage: : https://www.aau.at/en/university-library-klagenfurt/)

You can do research again.
You can administrate your library account again.
You can order, borrow and return books again.
You can use the inter-library loan again.

NEW:
To use all this, you now have to REGISTER on surf@ubk, using your AAU account!

“First aid” regarding the new interface on: https://surf.aau.at/primo-explore/static-file/help?vid=UKL&lang=de_DE

Of course, we are at your disposal for questions.
The dates for the “Introduction on how to use the library” will be fixed soon. Special attention will be given to surf@ubk.

Tours: https://www.aau.at/en/university-library-klagenfurt/use-and-service/tours-trainings/

At the same time, we ask you for a little further patience. We, too, have to get used to the new system, but we will do our best to help you!

Kind regards,
Your UL team

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

Dear AAU Library users, dear AAU students,

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!

•  On 16.08. and 17.08., from 09:30 until 12:00, borrowing is possible at the loan desk.
• Borrowed items can be returned to the return machine (outside entrance).

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

Kind regards,
Your UL team

In May, the show case opposite the loan desk presents some of this year’s most prestigious literary awards’ winners:

1. Pulitzer Prize for fiction: Andrew Jean Greer for “Lost”
2. Günther-Andreas-Preis for critical thinking: Dietmar Dath
3. Kasseler Literaturpreis for grotesque humour: Eckhard Henscheid

Focus country of this year’s Leipziger Buchmesse is Romania.

Under the heading “Zoom in Romania”, the Book Fair presents around 40 new translations.
The books in this month’s show case are from the library’s holdings and refer to the Leipzig event (show case, loan desk).
