Die Universitätsbibliothek der Universität Wien http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universit%C3%A4tsbibliothek_Wien Die Universitätsbibliothek Wien, die mit dem Archiv der Universität Wien organisatorisch zur Dienstleistungseinrichtung Bibliotheks- und Archivwesen verbunden ist, versteht sich als Informationskompetenzzentrum der Universität Wien und ist bestrebt, den Forschenden, Lehrenden und Studierenden den bestmöglichen Service zu bieten. In erster Linie ist die Universitätsbibliothek für eine optimale Informationsversorgung aller Universitätsangehörigen verantwortlich, steht aber auch der interessierten Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung. Mit einem Bestand von über 6,6 Millionen Büchern ist die Universitätsbibliothek Wien die größte Bibliothek Österreichs; gleichzeitig ist sie die älteste Universitätsbibliothek im deutschen Sprachraum (Gründung 1365). Ursprünglich an der Stelle des heutigen Universitätsplatzes angesiedelt, folgte die Bibliothek im Jahr 1884 der Universität in das Haus auf dem Ring nach. Homepage:http://bibliothek.univie.ac.at/
