Introduction
Physics Branch Library
The Branch Library in Physics (click here for the full official
library web site) is a branch library serving the faculty,
staff and students enrolled in courses in general science. It
is located at 221 Sharp Laboratory at the University
of Delaware. It provides a specialized collection of several thousand
books, reference materials, and electronic media in the areas
of science, physics, math, and related fields. The Physics Library
also provides reference and electronic access to course materials
and homework solutions for physics and science courses at UD.
Seating is available for 34 users, including a 6 station computer
workspace with programs needed in physics courses and related
subject areas. Wireless LAN and AC outlet are available for laptop
connections in the room.

The demonstrations are available through DELCAT. The demonstrations may also
be searched at the Full Physics Lecture Demonstration Index.
This index is also searchable through Google below.
Please enter the PIRA Classification
(e.g. 6F20.15) or the area of physics (e.g. optics color) you wish to find related demonstrations.

Telescope Resource
A telescope is available for students to checkout for
periods of 3 hours with a UD ID and copy of a drivers license. The
telescope can be used alone, with a CCD camera, or driven by a laptop
computer (also available for checkout.) With the CCD camera and
computer students can capture images of millions of objects in the sky
from planets to constellations. For the less experienced astronomer,
the computer has auto find capabilities and can set itself up to true
north and then find the object in the sky you select from the computer
sky database.

Quiet Zone
|
The library is a Quiet Study Zone. Though that
cheeseburger and soda may smell and sound like heaven to you, it
probably doesn't to the person sitting next to you. After that big meal
you might be tempted to take some ZZZ's.  So, to provide the best study environment for everyone,
the following items are banned in the library at all times: CELL
PHONES, FOOD AND DRINK (bottled water is permitted), SLEEPING.
