Welcome!

This blog is dedicated to sharing information and answering questions regarding information resources in science and technology.

We can share good web sites we find, suggest books for the library to purchase or discuss new books or other materials that come out.

I will post a list of the new books that come into the Halle Library on this site periodically. I will also highlight some new items that we have purchased that relate to the sciences or technology.

Welcome!
