Library
The availability of research facilities and a place for quiet reflection in combination with efficient access to scientific literature is fundamental to a modern university infrastructure.
We support your study, research and teaching activities:
- MCI provides libraries and study areas with a wide selection of books, journals, magazines and newspapers. The three libraries are also equipped with a printer/copier, a book scanner, reading desks and PC workstations.
- We offer access to an extensive digital collection of eBooks, eJournals & more from many different subject areas, see databases. This offer is constantly being expanded.
- All of our online resources are easily accessible on and off MCI campus. To access the licensed online content remotely, please use your usual MCI login.
- To complement its own library services, the MCI has a cooperation agreement with the University and State Library of Tyrol (ULB).
Contact us by phone and e-mail or use our online consulting options and trainings - we will be happy to support you! ♥

- Use of ULB services (lending, interlibrary loan, reading rooms) requires the activation of the MCI Student Card as ULB library card:
myMCI > Profiles > Privacy > ULB
(if you don't have a student card yet, you can still activate it and use any form of personal ID for using the ULB services)
- Opening hours of all ULB branches
- For longer stays a check-in via the booking terminal or at the service desk is required, you can book a seat in advance; find more info here (in German)
(however, as the reservation system is available only in German, you can also simply go to the service desk in the library, ask for a place and they will help you there with the check-in)
- You can also and use inter-library loan (for literature that is not available in Innsbruck) after login to BibSearch.
