To find a book you are interested in on the shelf, look in the catalogue for the book’s signature and the floor where the book is located. This way, you will find it on the shelf.

Signature – a combination of numbers and letters identifying a particular book copy located on the back cover of the book, e.g. G.8.1.1 BEN BAR W 322387, location: 3rd floor.

Once you have found the book you are interested in on the shelf (the stripe on the spine corresponds to the colour of the floor), you can immediately borrow it via Selfcheck.
Remember that books marked with a red stripe can be used only on the spot.
