Economic literature was originally collected in the Library of Law well into the 20th century. Economics subjects gaining in importance the Institute of Economics was founded in 1963. In the premises at Vereinsweg 23 in Länggasse a new library was established with the economics collections  from the Library of Law. Teaching and research staff helped to enlarge the collection and set up the book shelving system which is still in use.
