history
The University of Applied Arts Vienna was founded in 1867 as the “Arts and Crafts School of the Imperial and Royal Austrian Museum for Art and Industry ” and in 1877 moved into its own building on Vienna's Ringstrasse , designed by Heinrich von Ferstel .
From the time it was founded until the school and museum were administratively separated in 1900, the School of Applied Arts did not have its own library. The existing library in the museum was also used for teaching. Only in 1906 are a “general school library” and a librarian mentioned in the files; in 1913 a systematic catalog appeared in printed form with around 1500 inventory numbers. Until 1934, the library was largely run by teaching and administrative staff. With the appointment of Eleonore Nischer-Falkenhof, head of the library from 1934 to 1972, proper library management and continuous inventory building could begin. In 1967 the library moved to the new university building planned by Karl Schwanzer , where it is still located today. Library directors: Rosa-Maria-Steinbauer (1973–1991), Isabella Stift (1992 interim). since 1993 Gabriele Jurjevec-Koller.
Between 1900 and 1970 the library was an organizational unit of the School of Applied Arts and the Academy of Applied Arts. When the Art College Organization Act came into force in 1970, it was immediately assigned to the Federal Ministry for Education (later Federal Ministry for Science and Transport). From 1978 onwards it was called “University Library of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna”. With the Federal Act on the Organization of the Universities of the Arts in 1998, the library became an organizational unit of the university again and has since been called the "University Library of the University of Applied Arts Vienna".
