The historically grown holdings of the Murhard Library date back to the 19th century. Therefore, the arrangement of the media partly follows different classification systems than at the newer locations of the UB. Some of the books and journals are located in closed stacks, the current literature is mostly freely accessible. Electronic holdings of the University Library such as e-books, e-journals, etc. can be used at the computer workstations.
- A large part of the media at the Brüder-Grimm-Platz location is freely accessible. When searching for individual signatures, please follow the guidance system.
- Storeroom holdings and holdings that have been removed from storage due to renovation can be ordered via the catalog portal KARLA using the Internal Interlibrary Loan system. Holdings from the Brüder-Grimm-Platz location can also be ordered on site and via order slips as a stacks order.
