How to find the books in the Botanical and Environmental Library
Almost all of the University Library’s printed botanical books are kept at the Botanical and Environmental Library. In this library the books are kept in open stacks sorted after subject field.
At present there are two different classification systems related to call numbers in the library.
1. A new system (SAB, a Swedish system) where e.g. botanical literature is kept on the shelf named Uf. Another example: Environmental sciences, see the shelf Uh.
2. An older system for botanical books, in plain language where e.g. books about algae are kept on the shelf Alger (Algae), Lichens see Lavar, Fungi see Svampar etc.
