The University and Regional Library of Tyrol is the largest library in western Austria and serves more than 40,000 registered users.
Special attention has always been paid to the latest technological services. The library therefore was at the forefront in implementing an electronic library system in Austria and setting up a department for Digitisation and Digital preservation in 2002.
Today the library employs more than 130 people and is involved in a number of national and international consortia and projects.
