The new faculty library Unipark of the University Library of Salzburg Ursula Schachl-Raber (University Library of Salzburg, director, Salzburg, Austria), Victoria Üblagger (University Library of Salzburg, Faculty Library Unipark, Salzburg, Austria) (Presentation from Dr. Schachl-Raber: http://prezi.com/user/uetrg-o4feip/ One year ago, the new specialized library Unipark of the Faculty of Cultural and Social Sciences opened. The three-storied library measures 4000m² and was designed by architects Storch-Ehlers & Partner from Hannover, Germany. Our paper takes stock of the new library: The increasing number of users and the enthusiasm of international library visitors confirm that the Unipark library meets the increasing demands posed by the digital age. Our library is a place of study and research and a place of encounter and exchange. This is due to its successful fusion of form and functionality as well as due to its modern technical equipment. Over the past few years, libraries have succeeded in transforming into important “third spaces” for users where they study, read, and live. Students spend more and more time in libraries and only leave them to attend lectures. Thus libraries have turned into “living rooms” of their users. The formula for success when planning this library in intense cooperation between architects and librarians was to fulfill these new demands of modern libraries, to respond to the needs of our users, and to implement the latest national and international developments in library and information science.
