Discussions about Public Access

OSTP requesting input on public access to publications from federally funded research The NIH Public Access Policy hasn't touched too many math folks, but a wider policy covering all federal agencies might affect many math dept. publications.

Reserve and other new book needs

Spring 2010 reserve lists are welcome any time! Use the ARes Submission Form. More information for instructors: http://library.wustl.edu/eres/facultyhelp.html. Ruth is eager to assist also, so call or email if you would like help arranging your course reserves. If there are new editions or new books we need to purchase, it would be very useful to have that information as soon as possible. Thank you.

I am being careful with math book funds but I am still ordering new books. Please do contact Ruth if you have suggestions for the library collection.
