- Fall Semester Hours
Monday - Thursday, 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
Friday, 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
Closed Saturdays and Sundays - The Physics Library will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2009 for Labor Day.
- WUSTL Connect is the University-wide login system that eliminates the need for multiple usernames,
IDs, and passwords for systems you use on a regular basis. Instead, one username and password—your
WUSTL KEY—works for everything.
Does This Replace My Library Password?
Yes. Your WUSTL KEY will be the way you access virtually all library services online.
With your WUSTL KEY, you will be able to:- Login to any public computer in the Libraries
- Connect to the proxy server from off-campus
- Manage your library account through My Catalog
- Renew or request books
- Search for and retrieve articles
- Order materials through MOBIUS and Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)
- Access online course reserves
Need Help?
If you haven’t already set up your WUSTL KEY username and password, visit the WUSTL CONNECT Help Site to get started. It’s easy to use, and you can always reset your password if you ever forget.
- Olin Library's annual New Faculty/Graduate Student Orientation & Reception
will be August 25, 3-5pm. More details will be available later.

- Attention Fall Physics course instructors! Please send me a list of
books you would like placed on reserve. You can use the Online Reserve Request
Form, send me an email, or put a note in my mailbox. If you are making a web page
for your class, you can link your page to the class' reserve list after I put the
books on reserve. There is no need to retype them. Just ask me if you have any
questions.
**Recent Additions to the Library Web Pages**
These additions are somewhere in the Physics and Astronomy Research Guide [http://libguides.wustl.edu/physics] portion of the Washington University Library web pages.
- Acoustics Today
[http://link.aip.org/link/?ATCODK] - Oral Histories
at the Niels Bohr Library & Archives - A free online archive of hundreds
of historical interviews with the 20th century's greatest physicists has now been
launched to aid the research of science writers, academic scholars, teachers, and
students. The resource, created by the American Institute of Physics' Niels Bohr
Library & Archives, contains both written transcripts and audio recordings of
oral histories that date back fifty years. This archive draws on four decades of
interviews conducted by the staff of AIP’s Center for History of Physics.
- Physics Today Book Review
