Abstract

The article describes the restructuring of the courses and lectures held by the teaching library of the University Library of the Medical University of Vienna. The current restriction of access to the General Hospital of Vienna (AKH Wien) due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic required the remodelling of the services offered into digital formats. This included library introductions as well as lectures that were part of the curricula of both the Medical University of Vienna and the Karl Landsteiner University for Health Sciences. The situation called for in-house software training sessions and an extensive re-conception of the content of the courses. The new online courses were well received by the students. It has become apparent, however, that a more frontal approach to teaching was necessary since conventional tutorials could not be held online.
