Books
The Max Perutz Library holds appr. 2000 print as well as e-books. The print books are partly available in the library´s premises itself, labelled and shelved according to a classification. Partly they are shelved in the group laboratories and offices. The e-books are available online on the respective publisher platform.
All books can be searched systematically in the online catalog, where each holding is described concerning accessability and availability (call number or links in case of e-books):
In case you cannot find a desired book in the online catalog, please order it directly at the library. In order to identify books covering a special topic more comprehensively, it is strongly recommended to check other online catalogues and search services such as:
