The University and State Library for Tyrol (ULB) is the largest scientific library in Western Austria and the central service provider for all teachers, researchers and students at the University of Innsbruck and the Medical University of Innsbruck . In addition to schools, educational institutions and universities from across the country, it also provides the general public with literature and information resources.
All Tyroleans can also borrow this inventory or use it on site. The library card and borrowing are free. The individual locations are networked with one another so that the borrowed media can be picked up and returned at all branches. It is also possible to have ULB holdings sent to the local public library throughout Tyrol via interlibrary loan.
There are around 200 public libraries across the Tyrol with around 91,200 users annually. and 1,200 volunteers. These are professionally supervised by ULB Tirol. The cooperation between the university and public libraries is unique throughout Austria. A cooperation agreement with the state of Tyrol from 2007 serves as the basis for this cooperation . In addition to the numerous personal discussions and consultations, the many advanced training events and the publication of the Tyrolean trade journal Bookmarks, the Tyrolean Library Day is one of the highlights of the local library system.

The oldest manuscript is the Innicher Gospels from around 900, the most famous Oswald von Wolkenstein's song manuscript B (1432). In 2005 a parchment codex (around 1300) was discovered which contains around 200 copies of letters and mandates from the Roman-German Emperor Friedrich II , his son Conrad IV and other personalities of the 13th century . About 130 documents from it were previously unknown to science.
Literary memory - special collection area Tyrolean
In its function as a regional library and depository copy office for Tyrolean publications, the ULB collects and makes literature from and about Tyrol, the so-called Tyrolean regions . The geographical framework within which the Tyrolensia are collected encompasses Tyrol within its borders before 1918, i. H. both the area of South Tyrol and Trentino are included. Since this right has no effect on foreign publications, South Tyrol and Trentino as well as all works published abroad or in other federal states with a Tyrol reference are purchased.
history
On May 22, 1745, the Innsbruck University Library was founded by a decree by Maria Theresa . As the “Bibliotheca publica”, it not only provided university members with literature, but was already open to the public back then. Anton Roschmann (1694–1760), the first librarian, had wrestled for the new library for years. The University of Innsbruck , founded in 1669 by Emperor Leopold I , had previously been poorly stocked with books. Therefore, Roschmann advocated that the holdings of Schloss Ambras and the Innsbruck Hofburg should be transferred to a new library . The library was officially opened on July 2, 1745. The systematic compilation and cataloging took place between 1784 and 1789 under the director Johann Baptist Primisser .
In 1924 the library moved from Universitätsstraße to the new building on Innrain, which houses the main library to this day and which was expanded from 1964 to 1967. When the building faculty library was founded in 1969, decentralization began. Further specialist and faculty libraries followed. The "University Organization Act 1975" stipulated that all literature available at the university forms the entire inventory of the university library and that specialist and faculty libraries are departments of the university library. In the course of the reorganization of the university and state library and the construction of a new reading room, a large part of the specialist and faculty libraries were integrated into the holdings of the university library and largely converted from reference libraries to magazine holdings, which in some cases met with harsh criticism from the scholars concerned.
The library has been called ULB since a cooperation agreement between Tyrol and the Leopold-Franzens University in 2007. According to this agreement, the state of Tyrol actively supports the role of the university library as the state library according to the means available.
