Short Introduction

Collection profile

The University Library of Regensburg acquires literature on all areas of physics. The main focus is on current study and research literature. Textbooks and reference works ( lexica, encyclopaedias, handbooks, language dictionaries) on all sub-disciplines of physics represented at the University Library are acquired, as well as literature on research foci at the University and monographs on important individual topics. At present, 125 journals in printed form are kept up to date. The conventional literature is increasingly supplemented by electronic media. Thus the university library now offers access to more than 1,400 electronic journals (yellow and green dot in the electronic journal library EZB) and various literature databases in the field of physics.

Within the scope of its financial possibilities, the University Library of Regensburg always tries to acquire the literature you need. Please inform us about your acquisition suggestions.


Locations for physics literature

  • The reference collection on physics is mainly located in the physics sublibrary (first floor physics building, URwalking). Here the current stock of scientific literature for study and research as well as the current journals are kept available. The holdings are freely accessible and intended for use in the reading room (reference use).
  • Older or less frequently used literature and works requiring special protection are stored in the central holdings (Magazin) and must be ordered for borrowing via the Regensburg Catalogue plus.
  • Textbooks: Literature that is of fundamental importance for study and is needed for lectures or seminars, for example, is usually placed in the reading room at the beginning of the corresponding sub-discipline of the systematic. In the textbook collection of the Central Library these textbooks are also available in larger numbers. The books from the textbook collection can be borrowed for 4 weeks. Please inform us if important textbooks are not available or not available in sufficient quantities.

Subsections of the physics sublibrary

In the reading room Physics (as in all other reading rooms of the Regensburg University Library including the textbook collection) the books are arranged systematically according to subject areas, i.e. all works on a certain topic are placed next to each other. You can get an overview of the existing holdings by "browsing" the shelf.
