The Physics and Applied Physics collections have joined the Engineering and Computer Science collections at the Engineering Library. They can be found on the top floor of the library in the Terman Building.
The Library will be closing July 12 for 2-3 weeks while we move everything to the new location in the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center. During that time you can request titles from Interlibrary Services even though they may be in one of these book collections.
In response to customer demand, Knovel now supports Direct Export to popular bibliographic management tools (EndNote, Reference Manager, ProCite, RefWorks) directly from Knovel’s Citation Link buttons. With this new feature, users save time and effort as they can seamlessly document their work by downloading details, including author, title, publisher and URL into their bibliographic format and management tools of choice.
