How to use the library

Searching for Media in the library search engine

All of the FH OÖ library inventory (print books, E-Books, E-Journals) is searchable through the library search engine.
Search Field “Katalog” searches all printed media and E-Books
Search Field “Katalog Plus” searches printed media, E-Books and additionally all contents of our licenced databases (E-Journals and their contents) as well as open access sources.

The electronic media is available from outside the Campus as well. Please check the Databases page for more information.

Master-/Bachelor Theses in the library search engine

All approbated and not restricted Master and Bachelor theses are searchable through the search engine. You can search for a topic or study program (full wording) and limit your search on the lower right hand side: “Form” -> “Hochschulschrift” to filter only master and bachelor theses.
MA/BA theses are only available in print format and can be borrowed.

Print-Journals and E-Journals in the library search engine

Print-Journals starting from year 2020 can be borrowed for 5 weekdays.
Older print-Journals are not available for loan. These issues can be scanned with our book scanner or the normal scanner.

E-Journals and their contents can be searched and downloaded through “Katalog Plus” in the library search engine.

E-Books in the library search engine

All licenced E-Books are searchable through “Katalog” in the library search engine.
There is no lending involved, you can download the E-Books and keep your copy.
On the right hand side of the search engine you can filter E-Books: “Medium” -> “E-Books”

Locations of media in the library

There are two “Standorte” (locations) possible:

Bibliothek” (library) = the medium is located at the library and free for you to take out
Magazin” (archive) = the medium is located at the library archive and has to be ordered

Ordering Magazin media is possible through the search engine or with the library staff.
The media will be ready for you within one weekday at the self-service pick up station at the library.

Finding books in the library

Every book has its own call number, which indicates where the book can be found in the shelves.
Example: ST-QP 700 H239 (2) -1 +2
(ST- stands for “Steyr” and is not marked in the shelves, please start looking at QP…)

Finding master/bachelor theses in the library

MA/BA theses starting from year 2015 are available directly at the library and can be borrowed for 5 weekdays.
All older theses must be ordered from the “Magazin” (archive) and can be borrowed for 4 weeks.

In the library search engine please click “Details”. There you can see the study program and year of the thesis. This is how you can find your needed thesis in the shelves.
