Shelf marks
Our catalogue system helps you find the right resource. It provides information about the type of material and competences that stand in focus. The shelf mark is the key feature to choose and borrow the right resource. It consists of an abbreviated denomination of the language and further numbers and letters; the first number denotes the type of resource (language course for beginners/advanced learners, grammar book, phonology handbook, listening comprehension etc.).
Here are some examples showing how to understand a shelf mark.
