Physics Subject Guide 

The world physics community has been at the center of the development of the World Wide Web. The sites listed below are only suggested starting points toward the large amount of physics and astronomy information available.

American Physical Society

Founded in 1899, the American Physical Society now has more than 41,000 members worldwide and publishes some of the world's leading physics research journals: the Physical Review series, Physical Review Letters, and Reviews of Modern Physics. Information about their journals, advance listings of accepted papers, and tables of contents are available on the Web pages.  Electronic access to their journals is available from the library's home page through the Journals link.

American Institute of Physics

The American Institute of Physics is one of the major publishers of physics information. In addition to their complete book and journal catalog, the Web page also includes tables of contents from the latest issues of more than 30 of their journals.  Electronic access to their journals is available from the library's home page through the Journals link.

Institute of Physics

The Institute of Physics is the major British professional organization for physicists with over 20,000 members worldwide. It is also a major publisher of physics books and journals and the first publisher to place all its journals online to existing institutional subscribers.  The home pages of IOP journals provide tables of contents and the full text of feature articles. Electronic access to IOP journals is available from the library's home page through the Journals link.

NASA

Site of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this provides extensive information about the U.S. space program as well as other astronomical topics.

arXiv.org

arXiv.org, a site provided by Cornell University, is "an e-print service in the fields of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative biology." It offers open access to thousands of e-prints and is valuable for keeping up with new research.
