High-tech library in medieval walls
As an absolute pioneer in the field, Winterthur Municipal Library decided to act as a pilot library as long ago as 1997. In issue 9, dated September 2, 2004, of the German journal BuB of the Berufsverband Information Bibliothek (professional librarians’ association), Dr. Rolf Weiss, Library Director up to June 2004, gave a detailed report on the extensive reconstruction of the historical building and technical modernization based on the BiblioChip system. The library is working with OCLC library software.
