How to order literature in the “Katalog plus” from the closed stacks

Due to lack of space, parts of the library holdings are kept in the closed stacks and are not freely accessible. You can recognize these media by the numbers 04 or 05 at the beginning of their call number.

• e.g. for books 05 ZZY 123
• e.g. for journals 04 58S3

If you want to borrow media from the closed stacks or take a look at it, you have to place an order. To do this, you must be logged into the catalog.

As soon as the media are available for you, you will receive a notification from us.

When is it not necessary to place a closed stack order?

• If a book is already on loan from the closed stacks you can reserve it, same procedure as with other media.
• Usually, only volumes published before 2008 or journals whose subscription has been cancelled are kept in the closed stacks. For volumes published after 2008, you usually do not need to place a closed stack order. Please note the holdings information in the catalogue.
