Please always search in our OPAC first, since it contains our
permanently up-dated catalogue data.
Only if this search
is not successful, choose one of the digitalised index card catalogues
(titles from 1501 to 1973):
Alphabetical
Author Catalogue if you are looking for works by specific authors
or with a specific title (= anonymous works, works by more than 3 authors,
magazines, newspapers, periodicals, series)
Alphabetical
Subject Catalogue if you are looking for books on a certain subject
or on a specific person; but also for secondary literature on particular
works by an author (e.g. on "Nathan der Weise" = search for
subject "Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim").
Alphabetic
Subject Catalogue on Nuremberg Literature if you are looking
for literature on a Nuremberg topic (but search for persons from Nuremberg
in the alphabetical subject catalogue!)
If you encounter any problems with your search, please
don't hesitate to contact our information centre!

Catalogue structure |
|
|
|
|
|
The sequence of
the digitalised cards (images) corresponds to the sorting rules for traditional
card catalogues ("Instructions for Alphabetical Catalogues in Prussian
Libraries"). See below for search hints including examples.
The catalogue cards
are accessible via an index containing only the first words necessary
for sorting (name of author, title word(s), subject(s)) of about every
50th index card (= head card). This means that the search will differ
from the OPAC search.
You can search for:
- Author
names, if it is an authored work
- Titles,
if it is a titled work; in this case using the first independent noun
as sorting word (e.g. search for "Nürnbergische gelehrte Zeitung“
= search for "Zeitung Nürnbergische gelehrte“)
- Subjects
(subjects or names)
In the narrower left-hand
navigation window, you will see the beginning of the head card index.
This does not correspond to a list of all names and subjects contained
in the catalogue. You will only see the sorting word(s) of every 50th
catalogue card in this index
If you encounter any problems with your search, please
don't hesitate to contact our information centre!

Searching
images in the digitalised card catalogues |
|
|
|
|
|
There
are two ways of finding the desired title:
1. Search via the search field
You can enter the search term you are looking for in the search field
above the index in the left-hand navigation area and then click on the
button Search. The index
field below will then display the sorting words which either correspond
exactly to your search term or which are closest to it in the alphabetical
list.
The larger right-hand
display window will then show the first head card. Using the scroll function
below, you can then approach your search term in the following step sizes
25 | 10 | 5 | 1
< > 1 | 5 | 10
| 25
By clicking on the button Enlarge
you can enlarge the card for better readability .
2. Direct jump function via the
index
You can also reach a specific head card by clicking immediately on a term
displayed in the index field in the left-hand window. The corresponding
head card will then be displayed in the right-hand window.
If your search term
is not listed in the index, choose the index entry closest to your search
term in the alphabet. Then use the scroll function in the right-hand window.
You can scroll backwards and forwards in the following step sizes
25 | 10 | 5 | 1
< > 1 | 5 | 10
| 25
Example :
You are looking for works by Anselm Feuerbach. The search term entered
is "Feuerbach", but the index only shows the head card "Feuerbach,
Ludwig". This does not mean that no works by Anselm Feuerbach are
listed, only that "Anselm Feuerbach" has no index entry. By
using the scroll function you can now check whether there is a record
for your search term.
.
Rules for entering search terms
:
- Search terms may
be entered in lower or upper case letters .
- Automatic right
truncation: you don't need to enter a specific symbol for truncation,
but may shorten the search term, starting on the right-hand side :
Hölderl for Hölderlin
Mitteil for Mitteilungen
- You do not need
to spell ß as ss and umlauts as vowel plus e (e.g. ae for ä)
- Always enter "J"
for I" at the beginning of a word : Jffland for
Iffland
- Do not enter accents
and other diacritical symbols: Lefèvre = Lefevre
- Enter names with
prefixes as one word :
LaFontaine for La Fontaine
MacKenzie for McKenzie (Mc=Mac)
OBrien for O'Brien
- Double names may
be entered with a hyphen or in two words. Spelling them as one word,
however, will not produce the desired search result:
Mueller-Blattau, Josef or
Mueller Blattau, Josef / not MuellerBlattau, Josef
If you encounter any problems with your search, please
don't hesitate to contact our information centre!

a large body of work, complete works editions and other collections
are arranged in chronological order and listed before the alphabetical
