New: Library of the Institute of Social Ecology

New ACS Journals
Three new American Chemical Society e-journals are now available.

Open Access Publishing at Wiley
The Main Library offers BOKU scientists the opportunity to publish Open Access in Wiley journals at no extra cost. Open access fees (APCs) are charged centrally at the library. The agreement also includes online reading access to over 1,500 scientific journals and covers the period 2018-2020.
New library system Alma
In 2018 the BOKU library will change, together with parts of the Austrian library network, its library system to Alma. More specific information will be released when available.
These massive changes require a lot of work. As the library has to shoulder this in addition to its normal work, no book transfers from institutional libraries can be accepted and incorporated into the holdings of the main library.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
