Overview
The Luxembourg Learning Centre offers print books, a small collection of print journals and a broad collection of electronic resources like e-books and e-journals in engineering. All print and electronic resources can be found via the a-z.lu catalogue.
Current issues of print journals are located at the beginning of each collection of printed books, classified alphabetically by title (older issues need to be ordered via a form – see “Journals“).
Examples of classification codes in engineering:
- 620: Engineering (general); 620.5 Nanotechnology
- 621: Applied physics; 621.8: Machine engineering
- 624: Civil engineering; 624.17: Structural analysis & design
- 629.8: Automatic control engineering
- 660: Chemical engineering; 669: Metallurgy
- 670: Manufacturing; 678: Elastomers
- 690: Buildings; 696: Utilities
