The holdings in the reading rooms (LS) are distributed across four floors and arranged by subject area. Within this system, the books are systematically sorted into subfields.
You can walk along the shelves and pull out newly discovered titles or go to your favourite places to search for something specific. An outline of the books hangs from each shelf unit. Or you can look up the reading room classification system online.
