Installation and development classification

In addition to the verbal indexing of content with keywords, all physical holdings of the University Library are indexed according to the Regensburg Union Classification (RVK).

The library's media units, most of which are freely accessible, are systematically arranged according to the RVK at both our locations. Only a small part of our total holdings - older holdings that are little used and located in the closed stacks of the Central Library - are and will remain arranged according to the former classification system of the Central Library and the former classification system of the Social and Health Sciences Library.

The system locations of the three classification systems can be found as an element of the systematic arrangement in the shelfmarks on the books and in our discovery system Primo.
