Use

The Austrian National Library user’s card includes an entitlement to use the collection, in accordance with the guidelines of the relevant User Regulations. The use of autograph and audio-visual materials is permissible only by prior arrangement (and depends upon the academic purpose and issues relating to conservation and copy right). It is not permissible to borrow printed materials from the specialist library for off-site use.

Photocopies can be ordered by submitting a copy form to the Collection staff, provided there are no reasons for refusal on conservation or copy right grounds.
