The Niederösterreichische Landesbibliothek (NÖLB) is an Austrian library . It is a publicly accessible scientific library and is located in St. Pölten . It is the regional library of the federal state of Lower Austria and as such the central and regional library for the state of Lower Austria.

It is a public general or universal library with scientific literature on all scientific fields. One focus is on works on Lower Austrian regional studies (the NÖLB is also the library of the Association for Regional Studies of Lower Austria), and another on all subject areas relevant to the regional administration (it is also the official library of the Lower Austrian regional government). In addition to around 365,000 printed publications, the library has around 100,000 historical views of places and buildings as well as around 20,000 maps.

The library's premises were located in the former Niederösterreichisches Landhaus (today Palais Niederösterreich ) in Vienna from 1813 to 1967, and from 1967 to 1996 in a building on Teinfaltstrasse, also in Vienna. In 1997, the specially built, today's library building was opened in the St. Pölten government district . It has held the title of State Library since 1861.

The construction costs for the new library amounted to 5.76 million euros, in 2001 the NÖLB spent around 929,000 euros and earned around 8,000 euros. At the beginning of 2002, 21 people were employed.

The NÖLB is located in the St. Pölten government district, directly opposite the Lower Austrian State Archives . Its address is Kulturgebiet 3 (postal address Landhausplatz 1 ), it is counted with other surrounding cultural and scientific institutions to the so-called cultural district St. Pölten .

Building history

The building originally planned by the architect of the government district Ernst Hoffmann to house the library and archive turned out to be too small. After another invitation to tender , the architect Paul Katzberger received the order for both structures, and the architect Karin Bily built the library according to his plans. In 1994 the construction costs for the NÖLB and the Lower Austrian State Archives together were estimated at 209 million schillings (around 15 million euros), the actual construction costs for the NÖLB amounted to 5.76 million euros.

The library building

The building reaches a maximum height of 15.7 m, has a built-up area of ​​around 1,400 m² and a total usable area of ​​5,700 m² (the gross floor area is 6,900 m²). It has three levels, a flat roof that can be walked on and below is part of the government district's underground car park. The publicly accessible area for readers is located on the upper floor. It consists of a reading room with Tour, carrels , user workstations, computers to research in the library catalog and an open access with some 30,000 book volumes. The topographical collection, the map collection, the magazine reading room, a lecture room and the magazine are located around the reading room. The main entrance, an event room and the administration wing, which also houses a restoration workshop and the Lower Austrian folk song archive, are located on the ground floor . The basement is at street level and contains the two main stacks of the library. The main magazines are equipped with mobile shelving and offer around 1000 m² of space for around 13,000 running meters of floor space. While the open access list and the magazines displayed are arranged systematically, the list in the magazines follows the order according to consecutive number .

Restoration workshop and Lower Austrian folk song archive

In the restoration workshop on the ground floor, books as well as graphics, watercolors, woodcuts, copperplate engravings, lithographs, etchings, etc. (also from other state offices such as the state museum and the state archive) are maintained and restored. There are also workplaces on the ground floor that are used by the Lower Austrian folk song archive. A contract concluded in 1999 between NÖLB and Volkskultur Niederösterreich BetriebsGmbH enables the inventory to be stored in the library's warehouse, which is managed by the staff of Volkskultur Niederösterreich BetriebsGmbH .

At the end of 2012, the print collection comprised 365,000 print titles. It contains printed works, including leaflets and posters, but also audiovisual media (records, compact discs, compact cassettes, floppy disks and video cassettes). The focus is on the book collection as well as newspapers and magazines. The inventory increases through purchases, exchanges, deposit copies and gifts. In the case of books, gifts and current purchases are of particular importance, in the case of periodicals the deposit copies. The growth rate of the book stock is increasing (see table), the stock of bibliographical units in the periodicals rose from around 3200 in 1998 to 3800 in 2001. In 2001 the audiovisual media collection comprised around 640 items.

One focus is the so-called Unterennsia (works about Lower Austria, works by native Lower Austria, books printed or published in Lower Austria), so the regional literature of the 20th century is fairly complete, of the inventory up to 1900 it represented 11.6% in 1992.

newspapers and magazines

Around 4,000 newspapers and magazines are collected and around 40,000 booklets arrive every year. The new booklets are available in the magazine room, they are bound at regular intervals and placed in a magazine.

Special collections

In addition to the book and magazine holdings, the NÖLB houses two large special collections (map collection and the topographical collection) as well as some smaller special collections. The castle history special collection was dissolved in 2001.

Card collection

The map collection of the NÖLB includes maps, plans and atlases. At the beginning of 2013 it comprised around 22,000 map sheets and 700 atlases.

The basis of the later collection was an order from the Lower Austrian provinces in 1669 to draw up a map of the Archduchy of Austria under the Enns. It was published as early as 1670, a map of the second edition from 1697 was later transferred to the NÖLB from the estates owned. In the first printed library catalog from 1874 there is already a section Maps, Plans and Illustrations with 64 titles and a year later a cartographic section of the library is mentioned. In 1992 the collection comprised around 2,100 map titles with around 12,300 sheets (1,600 of them were from before the 20th century) and 135 atlases, including the atlas curieux Gabriel Bodenehrs . Mostly they are maps of Lower Austria, the older of them were commissioned by the Lower Austrian provinces. There are border dispute maps from this time, another focus is on river regulation and road construction plans, which come from the hydraulic engineering and road construction departments of Lower Austria.

Topographic collection

The so-called topographic collection is a collection of old views (copperplate engravings, drawings, watercolors, photos, postcards, etc.) mainly of places and buildings. At the end of 2011, she kept around 26,000 sheets and 61,000 postcards.

As with the map collection, specimens that the Lower Austrian estates had already acquired in the 17th century formed the basis for the topographic collection. The year 1876 was the founding year of this collection, in which Albert Camesina , member of the Lower Austria Regional Studies Association, suggested the first exhibition of old views of Lower Austria. In 1887 the collection comprised around 1,300 sheets; after numerous acquisitions and takeovers, there were around 20,000 views as well as 51,000 photographs and postcards in 1992 . These are works by unknown artists as well as more valuable works, for example by Matthäus Merian , Georg Matthäus Vischer , Jakob Alt , Jakob Alt, Joseph Höger , Friedrich Gauermann and Johann Josef Schindler .

Smaller and former special collections

The portrait collection is mentioned from 1890 onwards and in 1992 consisted of around 3700 portraits, mostly from the 19th century. They show members of the imperial family, clerical and secular dignitaries of the state of Lower Austria as well as nobles, artists and politicians.

The bookplate collection has its origins in 1974, when the Lower Austria part was bought by a Tyrolean pharmacist. At that time, the NÖLB acquired 137 library symbols and book owner vignettes (woodcuts and copperplate engravings), in 1992 the collection comprised 427 sheets, the oldest dating back to the 16th century.

The copper plate and printing block collection counted 352 copper plates from the 17th to 19th century. In addition to printing plates from the Lower Austria maps and topographies by Georg Matthäus Vischer, she also owns copper plates that were used to illustrate the printed tributes in the Archduchy of Austria under the Enns.

The former castle history collection was initiated by researchers in 1930 as an aid to researching Lower Austrian castles and defensive structures and came to the NÖLB in 1936. In 1941 the collection was referred to as the castle archive and was later, from 1951 to 1984, in the Lower Austrian State Museum. In 1984 it moved back to the NÖLB, after the retirement of the last manager it was closed in 2001 and the holdings were divided among the other collections. In 1992 the collection comprised around 21,000 views, 1,700 newspaper clippings, 800 plans and maps, 5,000 negatives, 2,300 slides and 2,000 correspondence folders on the castles in Lower Austria.

Significant objects

In 1992, around 9,500 titles (11.4% of the book collection) were counted that appeared before 1901. Five of them were incunabula (including a first edition of the Schedelschen Weltchronik published in 1493 ), around 150 titles were from the 16th century, 400 from the 17th, 1200 from the 18th and 7800 from the 19th century.

The oldest book in the collection is Sermones aurei de sanctis ( Golden Sermons of the Saints ) by Leonardus de Utino, which was printed in Venice in 1475 .

The NÖLB also owns the oldest book printed in the area of ​​today's Lower Austria, namely the Marian veneration book Quodlibetica decisio perpulchra et devota de septem doloribus Christifere Virginis Mariae by Michael Franciscus de Furno from Insulis. It was first published in 1495, and the NÖLB has an edition printed in Schrattenthal in 1501 .

The oldest map of Lower Austria Archiducatus Austriae inferioris geographica et noviter emendata accuratissima descriptio by Georg Matthäus Vischer , first published in 1670, is available in an edition from 1697.

Digitization projects

The most comprehensive digitization activity of the NÖLB is the digitization of topographical-historical views and maps (DITHAKA). Since the beginning of the 21st century, flatbed scanners have been used to create digital photo reproductions of topographic views and maps. The finished scans are continuously entered into the online catalog. In 2005 about 10% (= 10,000 objects) of the topographies and a map were scanned. The digital copies provided with digital watermarks are freely available on the Internet with a dot density of 72 dpi, can be purchased without watermarks and in a higher quality of 300 dpi. Currently (2013) objects from the map collection and around 60,000 postcards are being digitized by an external company, as well as the magazine Unser Heimat and the yearbook for regional studies of Lower Austria .

In cooperation with the magazine digitization project ANNO , the Lower Austrian Provincial Law Gazette was digitized from 1849 to 1971 and made available online in 2004.

Business administration, organization and legal matters

Income, expenses and employees

In 2001, the NÖLB earned 7,713 euros, of which, however, a wage subsidy amounted to 3,200 euros. Almost 4,500 euros were collected from library users, including over 2,000 euros through fees for photocopies and CDs with scanned library exhibits. Around 2,500 euros were made for dunning fees , fees for issuing user cards and the like. The income of around 7,700 euros was offset by expenses of 928,515 euros. Among the expenses, the salaries of the staff were by far the largest item at around 769,000. Personnel expenses thus account for almost 83% of expenditure, with material expenses accounting for around 17%. The purchase of books and periodicals made up around 119,000 euros, the remaining costs of the material expenses were mainly attributable to the technical equipment, office supplies and bookbinding work .

The library has had the title State Library since 1861. Until 2011 it was an independent department of the Lower Austrian State Government, since then it has been part of the Lower Austrian State Archives and State Library , which is headed by archive director Willibald Rosner . Hans-Joachim Alscher has been the library director since 2011. Since 1945, one member of the Lower Austrian provincial government has been responsible for the NÖLB. The NÖLB consists of the three sections inventory development and development , acquisition and use, and magazine service . In 2001, the library director was responsible for the credit management , chancellery , restoration workshop , IT and internet coordination , as well as the acquisitions department. Other specialist areas were the collection of pamphlets (divided into formal indexing , subject cataloging , journals and use ), the topographical collection and the map collection . The NÖLB also looks after the library of the Lower Austrian State Archives.

Regulations and laws

At the meeting on September 30, 1997, the Lower Austrian provincial government passed the library regulations for the Lower Austrian provincial library , which came into force one day later. On the same day, the library director's regulations on the use of the holdings and facilities of the NÖLB came into force.

Since 1981, Austrian media owners (or manufacturers) have had to submit a certain number of mandatory copies to the Austrian National Library and, secondly, to certain university, study or state libraries of every published (or produced) publication according to § 43 BGBl 314/1981 . According to the regulations in force today (2013), the NÖLB receives two copies of every publication in Lower Austria (three for periodicals).

Catalog, EDP and regulations

Volume catalog, card catalog, Prussian instructions, until 1984

Until 1968 the media were listed in a volume catalog . For this purpose, each medium was handwritten and entered in alphabetical order in the corresponding volume of the catalog; The authors also had their own catalog, which was divided into 200 specialist groups according to in-house rules. It was not until 1969 that the volume catalog was abolished and a card catalog was introduced, which followed the library regulations of the Prussian Instructions from the start . The Prussian instructions had been used by other major Austrian libraries since 1930. From 1979 to 1985, the old band catalog was copied to the new card catalog.

The oldest surviving catalog is a directory of the books in the n.ö. Gentlemen's stands had existing books and manuscripts that were written by Carl Markl around 1855. The directory is handwritten and contains around 1,600 titles (including their locations) in alphabetical order. In 1874 the first printed volume catalog was published by the Niederösterreichische Landesbibliothek in Vienna . It contains around 2800 titles in 5900 volumes as well as lists of maps, plans and illustrations. Further printed volume catalogs appeared in 1947 and 1969, the volume catalog Numerus currens catalog was in use until 1984.

The individual cards of the card catalog had to be arranged according to the Prussian instructions until its end. Otherwise it would have had to be completely rewritten and reorganized in 1984 after the introduction of newer regulations. The card catalog consisted of typewritten cards and was available twice: the public catalog was affected by the loss and re-allocation of the cards and, if necessary, was put back into order using the so-called official catalog .

Introduction of EDP and newer library regulations, from 1984

After the early introduction of electronic data processing in 1984, the Prussian instructions were changed to the rules for alphabetical cataloging in scientific libraries (RAK-WB). Not long after the introduction of the RAK-WB for alphabetical cataloging, a modern set of rules for cataloging according to keywords was introduced, namely the rules for the keyword catalog (RSWK). In 2005, in addition to the RSWK, a second set of rules for subject indexing was introduced, the Dewey decimal classification . To exchange metadata with other libraries, the machine-readable cataloging format was initially used for libraries , since 2012 . The usual authority files are also used in the NÖLB. Since 2012, St. Pölten has also begun to replace the common corporation file (GKD), the personal name file (PND) and the subject headings authority file (SWD) with the common authority file (GND). In the near future, the new Resource Description and Access (RDA) rules will probably be adopted.

As early as 1984, work began on building an electronic catalog in the form of a non- relational database . The registration system was developed in-house by the state administration's IT in cooperation with the NÖLB. The full-text retrieval system IBM Storage and Information Retrieval System (STAIRS) has been used since 1986 ; initially on a host that library staff could access via their terminals for research. In order to include the library items in the electronic database, the data of each new book was recorded in a catalog . This catalog could then be found in the BIBL database (for the holdings from the year of acquisition 1984) and was also printed out and sorted into the card catalog that still exists. The library items that existed before the introduction of EDP in 1984 were recorded in the second database HIST (BIBL and HIST together formed the DABI association); for this purpose, the old volume and card catalogs had to be typed into the database ( retro-conversion ). The NÖLB used partially deaf helpers for this. The retro-conversion has already been completed, so that the electronic catalog - in contrast to catalogs from other libraries - contains the entire library inventory and has completely replaced the card catalog. The users of the library could not access the terminals and thus the databases for research themselves, but through the responsible officials, whereby the Lower Austrian district authorities also had such terminals.

One step forward was the switch to an integrated library system at the beginning of 1994 , with the help of which almost all work steps ( acquisition , cataloging and, from 1997, lending ) were carried out. From 1994 onwards, all new media were recorded in a new database, also called BIBL. The software used for this was called BIS-C and came from DABIS GmbH . This company was also commissioned to convert the old BIBL and HIST databases into its own ALTD database. Since 1994 the RAK-WB, the RSWK and the various authority files have been consistently applied. The card catalog was finally discontinued and replaced by an OPAC . The OPAC went online in April 1998 and has been available on the Internet ever since. During the move to St. Pölten, the old data (before 1994) were revised and merged with the new data (after 1994) by integrating the PND, GKD and SWD authority files. After comparing the old data records , the new data records and the authority files, only 26,000 of the 45,000 personal data records remained in the old data . In total, the once 75,000 data records were reduced to just 28,400.

The holdings of the NÖLB can also be researched using union catalogs . Although it is not a member of the Austrian Library Association , its objects have been found in the catalog of the state libraries (LBB) since 1999 and in the Karlsruhe virtual catalog since 2003 . In 2013 a new OPAC was put into operation, through which the publications, collection objects and other holdings can be found.

Since 2004, employees of the NÖLB have been working on the editing of authority data of the German National Library as part of the Austrian authority data network, and by 2013 they had brought in over 30,000 data records.

history

From the establishment as a book collection of the Lower Austrian estates to the 20th century

year budget
1842 100 guilders
1883 1,000 guilders
1890 4,000 guilders
The former Lower Austrian country house, today Palais Niederösterreich , was the seat of the NÖLB until 1967.

The founding date is June 21, 1813, on which a Land Marshal Josef von Dietrichstein commissioned a landscape syndic, Karl Edler von Schreyber, in a decree to set up all the books in the Lower Austrian estates in one room and to have a book directory created. This book collection was the common property of all the estates, was initially in the prelate hall of the Lower Austrian country house at Vienna's Herrengasse 11 and comprised 88 volumes. The collection was the nucleus of today's book inventory. The library was therefore from the beginning an official library, at that time of the three estates of the clergy , the high nobility and the cities.

Ignaz Franz Castelli was head of the state library from 1833, lithograph by Joseph Kriehuber , 1835

In 1823 the 123-volume and until then independent library of the knighthood was taken over into the common library of the estates. This equestrian library was originally a donation from the Landuntermarschall der Land estates and President of the equestrian order Johann Joachim von Aichen , which was made between 1717 and 1729. In 1826 the 200 volumes of the estate of genealogist Franz Karl Wißgrill were taken over , and in 1833 the writer Ignaz Franz Castelli became head of the library.

As a result of the revolution in 1848 , the corporate structure of the state of Lower Austria was replaced by a centralized order and in a collegial decree of October 25, 1852, the state library was subordinated to the landscape registry director. 1861 dissolved parliament of Lower Austria the stands, and the state administration became autonomous, since this year the library was officially Regional Library . The first printed catalog appeared in 1874 with around 2800 titles and 5900 volumes, and regulations for the use of the library were laid down. Members of the Land and Reichsrat as well as state officials, doctors, professors and teachers of the state institutes, in exceptional cases also kk authorities and individual trustworthy persons were entitled to use it. From 1842 the estates had approved 100 guilders a year for book purchases, in 1883 the annual budget was increased to 1000 guilders, in 1890 to 3000 guilders. The special collections have received 1,000 guilders since 1890. In 1885 the collection already comprised 11,294 volumes.

Association library of the Association for Regional Studies of Lower Austria and establishment of the special collections

The Association for Regional Studies of Lower Austria was founded in 1864, and due to a state parliament resolution of 1886, its library was handed over to the NÖLB. Since taking over 1,300 monographs and numerous periodicals , Lower Austrian regional studies, local studies, folklore, history and art history have been a focus of the NÖLB. The association makes its publications available to the NÖLB free of charge, which it also uses for the exchange of documents , so that it can obtain publications from exchange partners free of charge in return. The NÖLB thus became one of the most important regional research institutions in Vienna from an early stage. In 1886, the first step towards a public library was taken, as the approximately 1000 members of the association were given the right to borrow from the official library, which was exclusive until then. The historical basis of today's map collection consists of 353 plans and 210 maps, which were added to the previous book inventory in 1886 following an order from the regional committee. Two years later, in 1888, with the purchase of around 5,800 topographical views from the Franz Kutschera's collection and 1,100 topographical views and cartographies from the Emil Hütters collection , the previously small inventory of historical views was also considerably expanded, thus giving rise to today's topographical collection in guided the way.

Inventory from 1904, cessions and the Nazi era

In 1904 the inventory comprised around 20,000 volumes with 7200 signatures , 7000 sheets with topographical views, 600 sheets with views of wayside shrines , 1900 sheets with portraits and 1600 maps and plans. The historian Max Vancsa was director of the State Archives and the NÖLB from 1910 to 1923, and in 1925 he wrote a text on the NÖLB.

When Vienna became an independent federal state in 1922, the NÖLB had to cede holdings on Viennese topics to collections of the City of Vienna. In the same year the library moved to the ground floor at Herrengasse 13 . Another assignment came at the end of the 1930s when the National Socialists enlarged Vienna to include parts of Lower Austria (see Greater Vienna ). Numerous objects subsequently moved to the Historical Museum of the City of Vienna (now the Wien Museum ). Despite the renewed downsizing of Vienna, these holdings were not returned after 1954. During the Nazi era, the state library was called the Library of the Reichsgau Niederdonau and formed an independent department within the state administration. In the course of the air raids on Vienna in 1944, the 40,000 volumes of the main collection were evacuated to the safe Zwettl monastery in Waldviertel . Shortly after the end of the war, in 1946, these specimens were transported back and the NÖLB resumed operations. In the years 1945 to 1947, 1,300 volumes of forbidden National Socialist literature were withdrawn and given to the University Library in Vienna , and another 4,000 to the Austrian National Library (mostly returned in 1955).

Preservation of the special collections, from the first to the second relocation

The NÖLB secured the continued existence of the special collections under the library director Josef König. Since special collections in addition to the printed matter would give each library its own characteristics, a later revised state parliament resolution of 1966 was disregarded, which provided for the two special collections of topographies and maps to be transferred to the Landesmuseum Niederösterreich .

The former entrance to the NÖLB at Teinfaltstraße 8

Due to the lack of space caused by the increase in space, the NÖLB - against the resistance of its manager Josef König - moved from Herrengasse 13 to the building at Teinfaltstraße 8 (former Bodencreditanstalt ) in 1967 . Since the later relocation to St. Pölten, the magazine room of the Vienna University Library has been set up as a branch in the premises in Teinfaltstrasse. In 1969 there were already around 95,000 volumes; at the beginning of the 1980s, a new media law introduced the mandatory copies that must also be submitted to the state library . Around 1960 the NÖLB expanded its holdings to include the libraries of geologists Josef Stini and Richard Kurt Donins .

The restoration workshop went into operation in 1969, in the same year a card catalog was introduced for the first time and the Prussian instructions were adopted . Electronic data processing has been used since 1984 and more up-to-date library regulations are used.

The total inventory in 1992 comprised around 83,000 titles in 156,000 volumes, as well as 72,000 objects from the Topographical Collection (including 51,000 postcards and photographs), 13,000 objects from the map collection, 33,000 objects from the Castle Collection, 3,700 portraits, 600 leaflets, 400 bookplates and around 350 copper plates and printing blocks .

Since the second move, from 1996

In 1986 St. Pölten became the new provincial capital of Lower Austria and the majority of the provincial government offices moved from Vienna to St. Pölten. The NÖLB closed in autumn 1996 and began its year-long move. During this period, the employees cleaned up the records in the catalog. The new library in St. Pölten was opened on October 1st, 1997. Before the move, students and teachers tried to petition the library or at least a branch office to remain in Vienna - the move was carried out anyway. Online research in the catalog has been possible since 1998, and registered users can borrow books free of charge by mail. Only works that appeared before 1900 (as well as newspapers, magazines and objects from the special collections) cannot be viewed from Vienna, as they can only be used on site (see reference inventory ).

With the move to St. Pölten, not only the target group but also the tasks of the NÖLB have changed. While students from the surrounding universities, Lower Austria researchers and Viennese readers in particular visited the library in Vienna, St. Pölten first had to develop a new audience. Since the Austrian National Library and the University Library in Vienna were two easily accessible large libraries near the NÖLB, the budget of the NÖLB was modest compared to other Austrian provincial libraries and the book inventory was heavily specialized in Lower Austrian regional studies. With the move to St. Pölten, the conversion from a special library to a general scientific universal library was connected (in addition, the St. Pölten area was a library-wise undersupplied region), and legal specialist literature in particular had to be bought later for use by civil servants which until then had been borrowed from the two major libraries. To expand the book inventory, the budget for new purchases was increased significantly. The agency has continuously increased the funds available for material costs since 1989; in 1995 the amount was already twice as high as in 1989. From 1995 to 1999, around 145,000 euros were received for material costs, in 2000 and 2001 it was around 160,000 euros.

In 2007, the library competence center Lower Austria was founded as a cooperation platform for several academic libraries in the central region of Lower Austria. There are also collaborations with the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences , the private university of the creative industries , online catalogs and the culture pool . In 2009 the so-called culture depot was opened in St. Pölten Schanze 5 , which offers the NÖLB additional storage space with around 7500 meters of shelving.
