HOW TO SEARCH FOR MATERIALS I WANT TO BORROW?

You can search for materials in one of the catalogues or directly in the open access area.

The online catalogue can be accessed in all libraries that use the COBISS System. The search procedure is the same in all libraries; only the location information is different. These data show you the location of the materials for each specific library and are essential for the search. Before searching make sure that you search in the right library. The information on the library you are searching in is written in the upper part of the screen in the column BAZA PODATKOV/DATABASE.

The location information is written under the record for a specific item.

Item details (call number, location…) Item status

Prosti p. 2. nad. 628.5 183178 on loan, outside loan, return within 20.09.2021
Prosti p. 2. nad. 628.5 183178 a available, outside loan, loan period 1 month

The location is the shelf number for materials in open access. The call number is the number of a single item. Pay attention to the information in the middle:
- available, loan period…,
- on loan, to return within...,
- available-reading room,
- in preparation – in process.

When searching for the materials in the open access you need to pay attention to the location information. The location data or the shelving number is a combination of letters and numbers or only numbers, which according to the UDC (Universal Decimal Classification) represent a specific field of knowledge. The letters stand for specific location in the library:

1^st floor (P1)	2^nd floor (P2)	3^rd floor (P3)
D – Local History Department	ČČ – Newspaper Reading Room	Č – Reading Room
B– Librarianship Collection	PPČ– Newspaper Reading Room (Information Sources)	K7 – Film and Music Collection
I – Information Collection	PČ – Periodicals Department	K8 – Subject Specialists’ Room
EDC– European Documentation Centre	K – Technical Department	AČ – Austrian Reading Room
IM – Interlibrary Loan	K6– Subject Specialists’ Room	P3 79-9 – Open access on the 3rd floor + first shelving numbers
Iv – Information sources in the Information Collection	PP3, PP6– Open Access Attendant

	ČČI – Reading Room Attendant
	P2 34-778 – Open access on the 2^nd floor + first shelving numbers

When you find the shelf you can search for your materials according to the call number. The call numbers are organised in a growing numbers order. At the beginning of a shelf there are materials of larger format, labelled with II ( II 38845 )

Materials that are still in preparation can be reserved at the information desk. You find information on materials in the stacks in the lower left corner of the screen:

Skladišče (stacks) in preparation – in process

Special collections materials (handwritings, ephemera, cartographic materials…) are kept on different locations and can be accessed by appointment with the responsible person or in the open access.

HOW TO ORDER MATERIALS FROM THE STACKS?

These materials can be ordered with and order form at the circulation desk. The order form must contain data on the materials you want to borrow and the data should be previously searched for in the catalogue. You will be called when the materials for you are ready.

HOW TO BORROW MATERIALS?

Materials you wish to take home or use in the library have to be registered at the circulation desk on the 1^st floor.

You can borrow 8 titles at one time. Exceptions are granted by the information staff. You cannot borrow more copies of the same title.

HOW TO BORROW MATERIALS FROM OTHER LIBRARIES?
