** News **

• The Physics Library will be closed on Friday, October 16, 2009 for Fall Break.
  
  
• Washington University Libraries have a new catalog that gives users greater convenience, faster searching, and substantive, highly targeted results. The "classic" catalog will still be available as well. More info.
  
  
• Google Books links added to Classic Catalog - You can now quickly view Google Book content for titles that are in Washington University Libraries’ collections by clicking on links that have been added to individual records in our Classic Catalog. The links display in both the brief citation and the full record view. Not every book we own is found in Google Books, but many are.
  
  
• AIP UniPHY Offers New Discovery and Networking Site for the Physical Sciences - Researchers in the physical sciences now have a new tool for communicating with colleagues, identifying potential collaborators, and keeping up with competitors. The American Institute of Physics launched its pioneering new website, AIP UniPHY (aipuniphy.org) - a first-of-its-kind scientific networking platform for physical scientists. AIP UniPHY enables fast and accurate knowledge retrieval and allows individuals to search for and locate documents, researchers, trends, and new discoveries more quickly, precisely, and thoroughly than ever before.
  
  
• Sixty symbols : videos about the symbols of physics and astronomy - The University of Nottingham has produced this collection of sixty videos narrated by scientists from the University explaining symbols used in physics and astronomy. A further sixty videos are planned.
  
  
• Recently published papers in Physics - The following papers were recently indexed by INSPEC and published by members of the Physics Department:
