Card catalogue
The card catalog is located outside the reading room of the library and contains records of the stocks, which have been acquired before 1999. Because until now some titles of the library are only catalogued here, searching the online catalog does not provide complete results.
Please ask at the circulation desk if you need help in using the card catalog.
