Access to materials

slika knjige knjižnicaMost of the library materials are kept in closed storage, so users can not access the bookshelves by themselves. Information on the materials and their accessibility can be found in the electronic catalogue KatNUK (the COBISS/OPAC, local NUK database). You can ask for assistance from the information officer in the Information Centre (ground floor, room 9).

When you open a record for the selected material in KatNUK catalogue, you will find the number of available copies held by the library at the bottom of the page. Each has a call number, i.e. information of where it is stored. Codes appearing before the call number direct you to its location:
