• Physics Library Summer Hours
  Monday - Friday, 7:30 am - 4:00 pm
  Closed Saturdays and Sundays.
  Closed July 4.
  
  
• Off-Campus Access - Proxy Options for Off-Campus Access details some other options when you don't use the proxy-enabled links from the library web site or the Proxy Server Login directly.
  
  
• Library Passwords - If you have forgotten your library password, there is now a new webpage to turn to for help. Just go to: https://interface.wulib.wustl.edu/patron/password-reset/ and you can reset your own password. If you remember your password, but just want to update it, go to: https://interface.wulib.wustl.edu/patron/password-change/. As a reminder, the library password is used for accessing the computers within the library, accessing library sites from off-campus through the proxy server, and for requesting interlibrary loans.
  
  
• The WorldWide Telescope is the culmination of years of work by researchers at Microsoft, and the Web site and free downloadable software are available at www.WorldWideTelescope.org. There are many online astronomy sites, but astronomers say the Microsoft entry sets a new standard in three-dimensional representation of vast amounts data plucked from space telescopes, the ease of navigation, the visual experience and features like guided tours narrated by experts. The WorldWide Telescope project spans astronomy, education and computing. Educators hope its rich images, animation and design for self-navigation will help entice computer-gaming young people into astronomy and science in general.
  
  
• Attention Fall Physics course instructors! If there are books or other materials which I need to order for reserve please notify me as soon as possible. Also if you have selected a new textbook or a new edition, please let me know. I do not receive the information which you send to the bookstore. Thank you!
