Old Stocks and Special Stocks

In general, our library holdings are referenced via the Primus search gate. If a book published before 1908 or a thesis published before 1974 is not yet included in Primus, there are conventional catalogues (card catalogue, book catalogue, microfiche catalogue) in which these holdings may be listed. These holdings can be requested via the order form for old stocks.

For more information, please contact the library information team.
