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.
Reproductions
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. Only a restricted number of photo copies can be provided. The production of scans and CDs, and saving data using electronic data carriers require special applications.
Loans for exhibitions
Applications for loans are to be delivered in writing to the directorate of the Archives with details of the desired objects (if possible with call numbers), with the name of the person wishing to borrow, and the title, place, and duration of the exhibition.
- Conditions and costs can be consulted in the Loan contract
