- Directing Links Through the Proxy Server - Have you ever needed to put
a link to a Library resource on your webpage? To make them fully accessible links,
even from off campus, you can direct your links through our proxy server. Just
go to: http://library.wustl.edu/libhelp/proxylinks.html,
and this site will update your link to append the proxy server information to it.
- 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.
