** News **

• The Physics Library will be closed on Monday, September 1, 2008 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
  
  
• Library PIN discontinued for most library users - For faculty, staff and students, the library now has one username (your WU ID number) and one password for all services, interlibrary loan, renewing or requesting items, off-campus access, etc. The days of figuring out whether to use your PIN or your password are over. Please see http://library.wustl.edu/libhelp/passwordhelp.html for more information. Please ask if you have any questions or concerns.
  
  
• Research Guides - As part of the redesign of the Library website, librarians have a new publishing tool for information pages, course guides and any other web communication need. We are calling them Research Guides. Check out the new Physics guide: http://libguides.wustl.edu/physics. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

**Recent Additions to the Library Web Pages**

[Suggestions are welcome!]

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

• Physics Today - We now have access to the most current online issues of Physics Today. Previously, online access to the last twelve months of Physics Today content was reserved for members of AIP Member Societies.
  
  
• RefWorks: The Libraries have acquired RefWorks for WU users. This tool is great for managing citations and possibly even links and fulltext. RefShare allows you to share your references by making the contents of specific folders or your entire RefWorks database accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. Using the RefShare feature you can create a link to share with others. This may be an easy way to collect and share department publications. More info here and here.
