Tips for the search for books
When it comes to find certain books from the University Library´s inventory, the following procedure is recommended:
Go to Katalog plus and enter known words from the title or the name of the author in the "Search" field.
As a rule, the author´s surname and one or two meaningful words from the book title are sufficient.
Example:
You are searching for the book ,Music sociology, written by Raphaël Nowak. New York, Routledge 2022.
- You don´t have to pay attention to upper and lower case letters.
- Umlauts (mutated vowels) are also found in dissolved form and as a basic vowel.
