The largest part of our holdings is freely accessible.
In the open access areas the medias are arranged according to their subjects. Every subject has his own subject classification, which structures the subject in special topics. To show the topics subject classifications are used – a combination of three or four letters.
To all mentioned subject classifications additional literature is collected in the closed stacks (02 - 09, K, L, N, P, R, RZ), in open stack (AR, floor 01), the collections of textbooks in all branch libraries and in the media collection (70/72).
