Can I bring in my favorite caffeinated beverage to drink while I study?
The Chemistry Library does not allow patrons to consume food or beverages in the Library. Crumbs and spilled food and beverages on books and other library materials causes irreparable damage and attracts insects and rodents (including rats, mice, cockroaches, and silverfish) that eat and destroy paper and pose a very significant health hazard to library users and staff.
Where are the journals?
Our jounals are arranged alphabetically. Journals beginning A-I are located upstairs, beginning in the second room, while journals beginning J-Z are located downstairs. Take a look at our floor plan.
