• Systems Maintenance Planned for Intersession - If you use the public workstations in the Physics Library, please read Save Your Files! Also user accounts will all be re-set on January 8; everyone will need to set up their own passwords again. Our catalog will be down for several hours on January 2. Library printing will be down for several hours on January 3.
  
  
• EndNote Web - Web of Knowledge/Web of Science subscribers now have free access to EndNote Web. EndNote Web is a new and valuable tool that helps ISI Web of Knowledge users easily explore research literature, write papers and collaborate via the Web. There are several online training options available.
  
  
• Reminder - the Physics Library has a binder for every professor containing the papers he has written. If you haven't sent your papers to the Library recently, please send them and I will update your binder.
  
  
• Attention Spring Physics course instructors! Please send me a list of books you would like placed on reserve. If you are keeping the same books for spring that you used for fall, let me know. 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.
