Please help yourself to any book or other library item on the shelves. The majority is available to borrow. A large number of items are stored in the nonpublic area of the library, the closed stacks. You may request these items at any time in BibSearch.
Feel free to take a virtual peek in the closed stacks.
Books are sorted on the shelf in order of their shelfmark. This mark also encodes their subject, ensuring you'll find books on similar subjects in the same place. An initial overview of subject areas follows; you can find a specific book's shelfmark - and thus its location - in BibSearch.

Current year issues are available on our periodicals shelves. Periodicals from past years will be bound into volumes and sorted by shelfmark; please use the BibSearch to find out a given periodical's shelfmark. Periodicals older than ten years will be relocated to the closed stacks.
