The Yale University Library contains a wealth of resources, from electronic journals to historical manuscripts from scientists such as Newton and Copernicus. You may access materials from any library collection through the library’s main web site, http://library.yale.edu.
Your subject librarian, Kayleigh Bohémier, curates a guide to databases, ebooks, and other electronic materials most useful to your Physics research. Please visit http://guides.library.yale.edu/physics, which is grouped into tabs for easy resource navigation.
Your closest library location, the Center for Science and Social Science Information, provides access to many resources. All rooms are available for booking via the CSSSI’s main page, http://csssi.yale.edu.
Kayleigh Bohémier, Science Research Support Librarian, is your subject librarian. Feel free to talk to her about citation management, accessing library resources, or best practices for finding information on your research topic.
