What's New at the Library

July 2008

Crossover Bridge to Close on Friday July 18

The crossover to the hospital will be CLOSED this Friday at 3 pm until
Saturday afternoon at 3 pm. We anticipate that there will be several of these shutdowns as the 4th floor construction gets closer to completion and will post additional information as it is received.

Thank you for your patience.

Blackwell Journals Missing Issues Online

Wiley Interscience has completed its merger of the Blackwell journals onto the Wiley Interscience platform. Although many of the journals were transferred without any problems, some Blackwell journals do not have all of their content online yet. Wiley is working to add this missing material as soon as possible. If articles are needed urgently, please use document delivery (ILLiad) in the meantime.
