Information Retrieval
Information specialists at the reference library help and guide customers on finding literature and teach how to use different kinds of information sources. They, as well as the other staff, conduct searches on databases and on the Internet on assignment of the client.
Below you´ll find information and links to help you do searches on your own.
The books and other material of the library are divided into groups according to their contents. Books and other material are organised on the shelves alphabetically according to the author's last name. If a book has more than 3 authors or an editor it is on the shelf according to the first word of the title.
