Library card
For members of the AAU, the employee ID is valid as a library card.
Specialist tours
In addition to the regular training sessions on how to use the library and e-resources (surf@ubk, databases, e-books, e-journals), the university library also offers specialist introductions on request. These are tailored to the specific course and are usually carried out by the university library’s subject specialists.
If you are interested or want to find out more about how they work, please contact the relevant subject specialist.
Bibliometrics
Bibliometrics uses mathematical and statistical methods to quantitatively measure scientific publications and their reception. Further information on bibliometrics, its areas of application, and data sources can be found on the bibliometrics page of the University Library under “Use & Service.”
The following services are offered to AAU members:
- Analysis of your own publication output to develop a publication strategy
(Please note that the results of this analysis will be delivered 4 weeks after our response. We therefore ask that you contact us in good time.) - Comparison of journals for submission selection
The services in the field of bibliometrics are currently under development. If you require further services or would like to take advantage of our existing offerings, please contact us at: bibliometrie [dot] bibliothek [at] aau [dot] at

Open access
The Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt and the university library support the open access concept and offer their academics a range of services related to open access publications. In addition to the opportunity to deposit academic publications in netlibrary, the AAU’s institutional open access repository, contracts with renowned publishing houses also allow members of academic staff at the AAU to publish open access publications (free of charge or under considerably preferential conditions).
General information about open access at the AAU and about “netlibrary” can be found on the Open Access page of the university library under “Literature search”.
Further information regarding the open access publication opportunities can be found in the
staff portal of the AAU.
If you have any other questions regarding open access, please contact openacces [dot] service [at] aau [dot] at
Literature acquisitions
The necessary literature is ordered centrally, processed, and made available on the basis of order requests made by departmental staff or academic staff at the university library.
Subject specialists are entitled to place additional orders from the departmental budget.
Orders must be communicated to the corresponding library liaison officer in printed form or via a publisher’s brochure. They will then forward the publishing requests to the library. If you need a copy urgently, you have the option to place an express order. In this case, contact your library liaison officer.
General questions relating to orders can optionally be sent to the following general contact addresses:
Acquisitions department: erwerbung [dot] bibliothek [at] aau [dot] at

LV-Lounge
Teach where your students study: in our open all-purpose lounge in Klagenfurt University Library
Our large reading room on level 2 (Z.2.10) is open for classes. We can offer therefore – on the eastend of the room:
- a teaching and studying area in the heart of the AAU in our central service centre
- equipped with these presentation tools: blackboard, flip chart, pin board
- open-space atmosphere with mobile furniture (everything from conferences to group-work islands, workshop feeling to circle set-ups possible)
- a room for up to 30 people that is yours to create
The choice of class, whether open to all or closed, is up to you.
Book individual dates in our all-purpose lounge at info [dot] bibliothek [at] aau [dot] at or at extension 9589 or directly at our information desk (level 3).
During your class, other people are free to use the library. This open-to-all situation can create synergies on both sides.
Reading corner
Since 2009, employees at the AAU have provided the university library with two free copies of their publications, subject to a printing subsidy being granted for these by the Research Council. One of these copies is shelved in the so-called “reading corner” of the university library and the other is usually released so that it can be borrowed. Furthermore, lecturers are requested to leave new publications (independent publications and collected works with their own contributions) in the library as a gift, so that these can also be presented in the reading corner and made available.
Primarily, current works are welcomed; older works can also be admitted. We are also happy to accept works by individuals who have been associated with the AAU for a long time in terms of research and teaching but are no longer employed by the AAU.
