Most documents that are placed on open shelves can be found by yourself. Documents that are placed in the depository, will be found by the on duty librarian who you can locate at the library counter.
In Oria.no, click “Get it” in your hitlist. Note the location, for instance “UBA/KRIS 839.8209 Ibs”. The book is labeled “839.8209 Ibs” on the back cover.
Click “Locate” to see approximately where the book is placed.
Read digit by digit on the shelf. If you see “839.82”, you must go further. If you see “839.821”, you have gone a bit too far.
If you can’t find the correct document, you can fill in a blank form. Click “Order” in the top right corner and register the correct reference.
You will receive information regarding when you can pick up the document by SMS and email.
