The Library is located in Wilson Hall on the third floor crossover. The Library has about 15,000 books, from college-level texts to more advanced research. There are also current issues of 7 daily newspapers, current magazines and journals, and back issues of journals not available online. There is a photocopier, printer, scanner, and 5 PCs available for your use.
Anyone with any category of Fermilab ID card is welcome to request books and journal articles. The Library searches for books and articles from local, national and international sources. Most articles are e-mailed as PDFs within a few days, and PDFs of articles from the library print journals collection are e-mailed in one day. The Library welcomes suggestions for book purchases.

Free trial of the Springer e-book collection (4/28/09 - 6/1/09)
We'd like to know if you find this product useful, and if you
think this would be a good additon to the Fermilab Library online
collection.
Our trial includes only three subject areas of this product: Physics &
Astronomy, Engineering, and Math. It is further narrowed by only
including the most recent 5 years of the collection. If we were to
purchase the collection, we would have our choice of years of access and
subject areas.

6/17/08: DOE Data Explorer The DOE Data Explorer, a new resource for discovering DOE’s scientific research data wherever they reside, was recently unveiled by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). The DOE Data Explorer was developed as a way to guide users to scientific research data - such as computer simulations, numeric data files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images – generated in the course of DOE-sponsored research in various science disciplines.
