Universitetsbiblioteket er primært en informasjonsressurs for studenter og ansatte ved Universitetet i Agder. Biblioteket yter også tjenester til enkeltpersoner, nærings-, utdannings- og kulturlivet.
Literature and literary studies can be found under the 800-code in the Dewey system. These books are placed together on the second floor of the library.

Information on childrens literature and young adult fiction is found in a box further down on this page.

Most of the books in the library are sorted by the Dewey decimal system. This is a topic-based system. You can see the ten categories below. Each of these have their own sub-categories, also sorted by topic. This means that you will find books on the same topic close by each other.
The childrens literature is not in the same shelves as other literature, but in separate shelves on the second floor in Kristiansand. These shelves are marked in the map underneath.
If you stand by the guidance desk on the second floor, you can find childrens literature and picture books by walking towards the lawn. They are on shelves between the printer room and the door to the F-building. The childrens fact-books are in the other direction from the guidance desk, next to the school curriculum books.
Most of our books are placed on the second floor in Kristiansand. They are sorted by topic. On the map below, we have marked the major cathegories. Dewey-numbers 00-200 and 500 are in the basement.
