Reference Collections
In the main reading room you will find
a major reference collection, also intended for the non-specialist:
Subject bibliographies, directories,
major handbooks, lexica and introductions to nearly all study
fields. They are classified according to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC).
Some subject collections are quite comprehensive e.g.: Area
studies (UDC 908), genealogy and
heraldry (UDC 929.5 & 929.6,
special reading room, first gallery).
Some reference works must be consulted in the
corresponding special reading rooms:
