Pfeiffer Physics Library News
September, 2007
** News **
- The Physics Library will be closed on Monday, September 3,
2007 for Labor Day.
-
Fall Semester Hours
Monday - Thursday, 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
Friday, 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
Closed Saturdays and Sundays - Important changes to proxy service for off-campus research and to interlibrary loan:
- New login and procedures for Off-Campus access to library databases and e-journals: http://library.wustl.edu/whatsnew/newproxyservice.html. Note: It is going to take awhile for us to edit links on all the library pages and blogs, but eventually this new procedure will be easier because you don't need to edit your browser settings. Please remove old proxy server settings if you have them. We are also working on a downloadable toolbar which will turn any link into a proxied link.
- The library has changed the way you log on to ILLIAD (our interlibrary
loan request system.) See
http://library.wustl.edu/whatsnew/newilliadlogon.html
for more information.
- Changes in
the Library Catalog -- Please review for information about
search and display changes in the catalog.
- Electronic
Reserves - ERes is a web-based electronic reserves
management system. With it you can manage course material on the
web. Only reserve material in electronic format can be placed on
ERes. Other course material may be placed on standard reserve in
the Library. If you have any questions, please contact me or try
the ERes
help page.

**Recent Additions to the Library Web Pages**
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.
- Physics to Go - a collection
of more than 500 websites that you can search or browse to explore physics on your
own. Essentially, this site is an excellent collection of websites where visitors
can learn physics on their own through a variety of formats, including webcasts,
online exhibits, and games.It's also a biweekly online magazine, with archives
containing more than 55 selected physics images.
