Catalogues On-Site

Old stock

In general, our library holdings are referenced via the Primus Search Gate. If a book that was published before 1908 or a thesis that was published before 1974 is not yet included in Primus, there are conventional catalogues in which these holdings may be listed.

At Grimm-Zentrum, these catalogues are located on the ground floor next to the information desk, behind the wooden columns. If you identify a book or university publication not yet listed online, please make a note of the author, title and call number to order. The order is placed using our old stock form.

Please use the online order form to order journals that do not have a request button after logging in to Primus.

During service hours from 09:00 to 19:00, the information desk is staffed by library employees who can help you with any questions you may have.

Questions or order requests can also be sent by e-mail to info@ub.hu-berlin.de or by telephone to +49 30 2093-99370.
