** News **

• The Physics Library will be closed on Wednesday, July 4, 2007.
  
  
• Article Reach Direct is an alternative to ILLIAD for article requests. It's called Article Reach Direct and is available on Get it! buttons within databases whenever an article is not available here. It can also be accessed directly at http://arlir.iii.com. Instead of using a special account like Illiad, this just uses your name and WU ID number. The request is sent directly to the holding library, so it should speed up delivery.

• 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**

[Suggestions are welcome!]

These additions are somewhere in the Physics and Astronomy Subject Guide [http://library.wustl.edu/subjects/physics/] portion of the Washington University Library web pages.  

• Scitopia is a search portal which was created through the imagination and collaboration of 15 leading science and technology societies, including AIP, APS, and IOP. It is a gateway to all publications created by these publishers, and is updated instantaneously when new articles are added. More than three million documents, including peer-reviewed journal content and technical conference papers, spanning 150 years of science and technology can be searched through the site.
