UPDATE: Since the original drafting of this post, several organizations and publishers have released statements against the Research Works Act (H.R. 3699):

We hope faculty preparing for Spring 2012 classes will visit the Library's Woodruff Course Reserves home page at: http://web.library.emory.edu/services/course-reserves.

It is here you will find Instructions for adding materials to Reserves Direct, submitting a request through EUCLID, downloadable submission forms, Copyright Guidelines, FAQs, Contact Information, and more.

Check out the available options ranging from 1 year assignments for graduate student & faculty study rooms/carrels to group study rooms for  a couple of hours.  Learn more at our Study Space Options in Woodruff Library web page. The applications are also available online.

Nature Climate Change is now here! Emory Libraries are among the first libraries to subscribe to the newest Nature journal.  The Emory Univeristy librarians have been busy this summer expanding our already impressive collection of online journals from Nature Publishing Group (NPG). We now have expanded access to many of the journals’ archives too.

Reserves Direct Update
 
In May 2011, Emory University Libraries’ Software Engineers will disable the ‘Fax to Reserves Direct’ feature. We will continue to accept email attached submission requests, Reserves Direct reactivation requests, Euclid-generated and paper reserves submission requests.

Summer Update from Course Reserves
 

The National Library of Medicine has created a web site to help with understanding the health issues related to the devastating Japan earthquake, tsunami, and possible nuclear power plant disruptions. Resources from the National Library of Medicine, US federal agencies, and other key resources are listed for responders, health professionals, and the general public.

For additional information, Ask a Librarian. We can provide more information related to more news sources, public health, environmental pollution, or nuclear power and policy.

The Robert W. Woodruff Library would like to announce the 2011 Undergraduate Research Awards!
