Please reserve your documents 2 working days in advance, so that they will be ready when you arrive. Many heritage items can only be consulted after reservation. On Saturday, there is no book distribution. Reference works are freely accessible in the open stacks.
You can use the online catalogue or the various card catalogues to search for documents. Here are some tips for searching in the catalogues.
If you want to reserve a document that is not in the online catalogue, please use the special request form.
