PMA Monthly Library Newsletter - March, 2024
Print collections for PMA are in Cahill (astronomy), the Sherman Fairchild Library (physics and math) and the Caltech Hall basement (astronomy overflow). The Caltech Hall basement is closed to browsing. If you need material shelved in this space, please page it via LibSearch.
LibSearch is our catalogue / discovery service and can be used to find both print and electronic items.
If you come across something that you'd like the library to buy, please email me or submit a request via this form.
Google Scholar - This FAQ explains how to configure your Scholar account so that Caltech Connect links appear in your search results.
NASA ADS - Please remember to configure ADS to set our Library as your home. Once you do this you'll see proxied links to our licensed / subscribed resources in ADS. For more information, please see this FAQ that gives detailed instructions about setting this up.
