how to find books at lusem library
LUBcat - the Library Catalogue
Search for books in our library catalogue LUBcat, which is the common catalogue for all libraries at Lund University. In LUBcat you can also find e-books.
If you search for a book within a specific topic, make an advanced search. Here you can combine different search terms to narrow down your topic. You can also limit your search by using filters, for example publication date, language and library.
In LUBcat you can see where the item is located and on which shelf it is placed. In most cases, the books are arranged by author, with the exception that if it has more than three authors, or an editor, it is placed by title.
If the book is in closed stacks or in storage, it must be ordered. If it is already out on loan, you can request it. When the book is available, you will be notified by e-mail.
We have a transport system between the Lund University Libraries, which means that you can collect and return books at any library.
