Leitir.is (in English): Simple search

Step 1

In this example we are going to search for the book The fall of Constantinople 1453 by Steven Runciman. First we type the title into the search bar and click on the magnifying glass.

Step 2

We see the book in the search results. We click on the book to see if it's accessible.

Step 3

Books in The National and University library are labeled Lbs-Hbs and books in The School of Education Library are labeled HÍ Stakkahlíð. We are going to search for a book in the National Library. If we get more than one result it is always best to select Lbs-Hbs Þjóðarbókhlaða. In this search there is only one item. The item is in place. The item is the 4th floor (4. hæð). The call number is 949.504 Run. The user can find the item on the shelf and borrow it at the circulation desk.
