Is the Book Missing on the Shelf?
Why can’t I find the book in the Open Collection (ÖS)? Here are a few
tips.
-
Have you checked Lovisa to see if it is available?
-
Are you looking at the right place on the shelf? If the book has an
author, it is sorted by the author’s name – otherwise by the first
word of the title (though not if beginning with a definite or
indefinite article such as The). Note that the book is never sorted by
the editor’s name.
-
The book could be recently returned and is then placed at the shelf
end facing the central aisle – near its original shelf section.
-
Is it a new book? Look at the display of new books in the mid section
of ÖS.
-
Is there a nearby trolley with books waiting for re-shelving? Take a
look, the books are roughly sorted!
If you still cannot find the book, please ask the staff available 11 am
– 3 pm.
Please note that the books placed in the closed stacks (Magasin) or
off-site depositories (Depå) must always be requested in advance.
