All the collections in the basement have been reorganized to improve their accessibility in the open staks. Signposting and access to the books and periodicals are made simpler !

For you to find your way easily throughout our basement collections, they were pooled together to offer a better thematic consistency and optimize space for future increases.
New shelves headings make it easier to identify the various sections in the basement: zone A, zone B, zone C, zone D and zone E.
Documents identified in the Beast catalogue are simple to pinpoint, using call number and bookshelf number.

The architecture and urban studies collections are grouped in the following areas :

  • Books : zone B1 (call number beginning with AR) and zone C 1 (call number between 690 and 793)
  • Periodicals : zone D, call number from PER 5000 (see the list of architectural periodicals including the new call numbers)

An updated plan is available at the Library in printed form, or accessible online. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact the helpdesk !
