The emphasis on independent study and individual planning of the student's week does, however, carry a responsibility to organise and plan the days of each semester. To make knowledge and understanding operational, however, some students need lab-work and some prefer seminar discussions. Most students choose to find a group of fellow students with whom to develop an in-depth learning style. Almost all departments have separate reading rooms for their students. These rooms often include relevant text books, encyclopaedias, etc.
Some faculties have larger reading rooms which are shared by all students attending the faculty.
The reading rooms may be crowded, and students who want a seat for the entire day, need to arrive early. 8.00 - 20.00 Sat. All students are under obligation to respect the mutual rules and regulations of the reading rooms. The library consists of a centrally located main library, faculty libraries and library services, including reading rooms. The library contains more than 1,5 million volumes of books and periodicals, and about 370,000 units on micro-fiche, photographs, manuscripts, diplomas and maps.
