Searching, locating and using information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I access databases from home?<\/h5>
\n

Yes, you can remotely access the electronic resources subscribed to by ISEG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not all databases can be consulted via the internet. Bloomberg bases, EIKON | DATASTREAM, can only be consulted from equipment installed at ISEG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access the Databases outside ISEG, you must configure the proxy in your internet browser. Data to configure the proxy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

proxy server: proxy.iseg.ulisboa.pt  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

port: 3128 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information, see the manual on the publications page (\/aquila\/unit\/CIISEG\/publications\/manuals,-maps-and-minutes<\/a>) of the DSI. When accessing the internet, you must enter your username and password.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the US Library of Congress Classification Plan?<\/h5>
\n

All publications displayed in open access are classified according to the Classification Plan of the US Library of Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plan is alphanumeric from A to Z and has the particularity of synthesizing within each of the subjects, first the Reference and General Works, Congresses and Collective Works. It then summarizes the so-called Text Books (Theories), followed by the applications of the referred subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the particular case of the ISEG Library, being the main collection of works in the areas of Economics, Finance, Management and related Social Sciences, almost all of the collection is classified as Class H \u2013 Social Sciences. A summary of the classification of this class (class H) is presented below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H1-H99<\/td>Social Sciences (General)<\/td>2nd floor<\/td><\/tr>
HA1-HA4737<\/td>Social Statistics (General)<\/td>2nd floor<\/td><\/tr>
HB1\u2013HB3840<\/td>Economics - Economic Theory<\/td>2nd floor<\/td><\/tr>

HX1-HX970.7<\/td>Socialism, Communism, Anarchism<\/td>3rd floor<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Does the bibliographic catalog indicate the location of the publication I want?<\/h5>
\n

Yes. After carrying out the search, access the list of results and click on the desired record. The \u201cCopy Copies\u201d table provides information on the number of copies, location, quota (label on the spine of the documents) and publication status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quota is an alphanumeric code, consisting of numbers and letters that allows you to locate the book on the shelf.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to locate the work on the shelf?<\/h5>
\n

The dimension of the works reflects the subject dealt with in the same and the respective color label on the spine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shelves are organized in alphanumeric order, starting with A (2nd floor) and ending with Z (3rd floor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For works located in \u201cInstituto Superior de Economia e Gest\u00e3o ISEG (iseg)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quota: HB171.5.K56 1976<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HB171.5.<\/strong><\/td>Subject<\/td><\/tr>
K56<\/strong><\/td>Author<\/td><\/tr>
1976<\/strong><\/td>Date<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


First, locate the floor with the letters HB (floor 2). Once the area has been identified, the work is located on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of each shelf is a plate with the extreme dimensions (first and last) of that shelf. Once the shelf is identified, just follow the numbering of the subject and author and date. The order is alphabetical and the numbering is ascending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When dimension is more complex: HC260.S9.E36 1976<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HC260.S9<\/strong><\/td>Subject<\/td><\/tr>
E36<\/strong><\/td>Author<\/td><\/tr>
1976<\/strong><\/td>Date<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The procedure is equivalent, the HC is located then, inside the HC the number 260, and then the S9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For works located at \u201cInstituto Superior de Economia e Gest\u00e3o ISEG-Deposito\u201d, request the work from library staff. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How can I identify publications that are in Deposit?<\/h5>
\n

The documents that are in deposit are identified in the search in the \u201cExemplars\u201d table, in the \u201cLocation\u201d tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: ISEG-Deposito<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean when a publication has a status of Reserved?<\/h5>
\n

It means that the publication cannot be requested, that is, it will only be possible to consult it in the library's reading rooms. Such as:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 reference publications (dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, repertoires);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 publications that make up the special and reserved funds;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
