The library has a slightly different system than you are probably used to at other libraries. This is because it is easier to find books at library like this when books are sorted after topics. That way you can find similar literature in a certain topic more locally. Within the different categories, all books are sorted alfabetically.
Here is a long list of all setup categories, what they mean and included subtopics. The list is long, so we recommend using "Search and Find" with keywords if you are looking for specific topics.
