How to locate the work on the shelf?
The dimension of the works reflects the subject dealt with in the same and the respective color label on the spine:
The shelves are organized in alphanumeric order, starting with A (2nd floor) and ending with Z (3rd floor).
Example:
For works located in “Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão ISEG (iseg)”
Quota: HB171.5.K56 1976
| HB171.5 | Subject |
| K56 | Author |
| 1976 | Date |
First, locate the floor with the letters HB (floor 2), red in color. Once the area has been identified, the work is located on the shelf.
At the top of each shelf is a plate with the extreme dimensions (first and last) of that shelf. Once the shelf is identified, just follow the numbering of the subject and author and date. The order is alphabetical and the numbering is ascending.
When dimension is more complex: HC260.S9.E36 1976
| HC260.S9 | Subject |
| E36 | Author |
| 1976 | Date |
The procedure is equivalent, the HC is located then, inside the HC the number 260, and then the S9.
For works located at “Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão ISEG-Deposito”, request the work from library staff.
