LIBRARY

The provisions set out in the library regulations are designed to ensure a proper and smooth search and borrowing process and regulate opening hours as well as behavioural and safety regulations.

Opening times

The library is open from 07:30 to 15:30 from Monday to Thursday, and from 0730 to 1430 on Friday. The library is closed in the 1st and 52nd calendar week. In July and August is only a limited library operation.

During the opening hours, the independent literature search and reading and working in the library are possible. Separate opening times (e.g. for teaching events or castle tours) must be requested in due time by the requisite staff at the Director of Documentation & Library.

Borrowing process

For borrowing literature, a borrowing authorization card (card with barcode and reader number) is required, which the authorized users in the library receive. The borrowing period is generally 4 weeks and a maximum of 10 works can be borrowed at the same time. Required literature is normally available from the next working day and to be collected within one week.
If there is no reservation (reservation), the loan period can be extended by another four weeks.

Central documentation

The Central Documentation and Information (ZentDok & Info) of the Nationa lDefense Academy (LVAk) is the military specialist information centre for the Austrian Armed Forces (ÖBH). Its task is to select and document relevant security policy and defense technology from its own databases and third-party databases, the Internet, newspapers, magazines and other printing units, and to make it available to the consumer.

An own specialized thesaurus has been developed in order to enable a terminological, as exact as possible content and targeted search for documents. The demand-bearers are the soldiers of the ÖBH's presence and militia, as well as civil servants of the Federal Ministry of Defense and Sports (BMLVS). A data retrieval documentation (DADOK) can be submitted by any or all of the above-mentioned requirements or requirements to the responsible administrator of TherMilAk, Mjr Mag. (FH) Michael Moser, and Head of the Documentation & Library Unit. The administrator then carries out the actual query at the ZentDok & Info and then provides the collected information from the requester.

The use of the ZentDok services is only available to students, teachers and staff. You must be logged in to complete the online query form.
