Library for Law

Legal textbook collection now available in the Library for Law

Behind the scenes of WU Library, we are also busy during the summer months. Over the past few weeks, we have moved the law section of the textbook collection from the Central Library to the Library for Law.

  • New location: Law textbooks are available for WU students next to the front desk of the Library for Law.

  • Borrowing: WU students can borrow these textbooks for 6 weeks and, if there is no other reservation, extend the loan.

  • Picking up books on hold: There is now also a self-service holding shelf in the Library for Law.

  • Returns: You can return legal textbooks to the Library for Law or use the self-service book return machine at the Central Library.

We look forward to welcoming you to the legal textbook collection of the Library for Law!

Holdings

The Library for Law collects literature from all fields of law and legal studies. In accordance with the key research areas of WU’s academic units, the collection focuses on the following topics: public law, civil and business law, employment and social security law, European and international law, economic criminal law, intellectual property law, tax law, and financial law.

In addition, special literature on tax law can be found at the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law.

The Library for Law provides access to a collection of legal literature (print books and print journals) in the field of Central and Eastern European Economic Law (FOWI).

The library currently has a total of 80,000 books and active subscriptions to about 320 print journals.

Library Use/Loans

WU staff can use two self-service checkout machines and a return box to borrow materials from the Library for Law 24/7. Codices and books from the legal textbook collection can only be borrowed by WU students.

WU students and external library patrons may not borrow books but may use them in the library. A reference collection with the most important reference works for all legal subjects is always available in the reading room for all user groups. For this reason, these reference books cannot be borrowed by scientific staff either.

There are four color scanners which can be used free of charge. You can save the scans as PDF, TIF, or JPG files on an external storage device (USB flash drive, external hard disk drive, memory card).
