Attention Spring Physics course instructors!

Please send me a list of books you would like placed on reserve. If you are keeping the same books for spring that you used for fall, let me know. You can use the Online Reserve Request Form, send me an email, or put a note in my mailbox. If you are making a web page for your class, you can link your page to the class' reserve list after I put the books on reserve. There is no need to retype them. Just ask me if you have any questions.

New Library Book Drop

Got a growing stack of library materials to return as the spring semester winds to a close? Then we’ve got good news: WUSTL library users can now return university library books on the south side of Forsyth, where a new book drop has been installed on Shepley Drive across from the South 40 Building. The book drop will be emptied every day throughout the year and twice daily during high-volume periods.

Library Inventory

The annual inventory of Physics Library material will be May 10-18, 2012. The Library will be closed to everyone during this time. It is important that all books be returned to the Library on or before 4:00 pm, May 9, 2012. If the inventory is completed ahead of schedule, the Library will reopen early. Everyone's cooperation will expedite the inventory.
