No, I don’t like cable spaghetti!* | Windows 7 || Windows Vista || Windows XP That’s not an ad for promoting operating systems. We only want to tell you that with these OS you can use the Wi-Fi provided by the It Services. In the library the Wi-Fi is rather useful. If all PC workstations are occupied you can find some quiet spot and using the WU Wi-Fi you can access the internet with your laptop. Using the Wi-Fi you can, of course, access all online resources offered by the library (catalog, databases, e-journals, and e-books). | Library |

So far away ...yet so near | Imagine the following situation: You’re at home, sitting in your comfy chair and doing some research for an important paper you have to write. You’ve already found some good books which you are going to borrow tomorrow from the WU Library. Unfortunately, the most important book is not part of the WU Library holdings. What now? Well, you don’t give up that easily and dismiss your paper, because you know, that the Library offers an inter-library loan service. With this service you can get hold of books which are not available in the WU library or in any other Viennese academic library. All you’ve got to do is fill in an online form. As soon as the book arrives we’ll let you know. The book will be kept for 2-4 weeks at your disposal in the WU library. For books ordered from an Austrian library it will only cost you 2 €! More information about the ILL service can be found here. And now you can imagine to lean back in your comfy chair and call it a day … | Library |
