Academic libraries, in particular medical libraries, have been subject to constant change for many years, primarily influenced by ongoing digitization. This change had, and still has, effects above all, but not only, on the collection management of libraries. Electronic journals, e-books and databases have been state of the art in libraries for many years. New, digital and often interactive learning and teaching platforms have been entering the market for some time. This article shows the status quo of how and which literature is supplied by the University Library at the Medical University of Graz, the challenges and effects of the new formats as well as a brief outlook on further developments.
