  • Almost all popular media containing fiction as well as non-fiction are available in electronic format and are increasingly offered in libraries. In order to provide all Austrian employees regardless of their place of residence as well as actual opening hours of libraries access to fiction as well as non-fiction books, the Chamber of Labor (AK) has established a virtual branch of its existing public libraries on 23 March 2011. The AK digital library is set up as an internet-based library, which is operated jointly by seven Länder branches of the Austrian Chamber of Labor. When finally set up, the AK digital library will represent the first bond of public libraries accessible throughout Austria. Starting with 7,000 licenses for e-books, the available digital media content is extended annually by 33% of last year’s stock and successively extended to e-audios and e-papers. Particular importance is given to the AK-publications, which are integrated exclusively into the AK digital library and can be accessed via so-called "special libraries", which are set up as adaptable information platforms for special target groups (members of works councils, apprentices, trainees of particular professions ...). As such, the AK public library builds upon federal cooperation, discreet assignment of tasks, unconventional solutions as well as the continuous development of special offers, which distinguish it from other virtual libraries and represent a unique foundation for the success of the AK public library.
