Catalogues & Databases
Local OPAC Hertziana
The local OPAC lists Bibliotheca Hertziana holdings and shelfmarks of works that are located in one of the three other KUBIKAT libraries in Florence, Munich and Paris. A red-green light system indicates the in-house lending status for Bibliotheca Hertziana holdings. Red means "Borrowed"; these books can be requested at the information desk. All resources are displayed, even if the corresponding publication is only available in one of the other three libraries.
