PROGRAMS AND CLIENTELE SUPPORTED:
Research of Radiation Laboratory scientists, staff, and graduate students are supported in the fields of radiation chemistry and other areas of physical chemistry, radiation biology, photochemistry, photobiology, and photophysics. While interest in these areas is centered in the Radiation Laboratory, faculty and students in Chemistry, Physics, Civil Engineering, and Electrical Engineering have interest in one or more of the areas.

GENERAL COLLECTING GUIDELINES:
Languages: The primary language of collection is English though materials in other languages are acquired selectively. Translations into English are preferred whenever available.
Chronological: Emphasis is on the current developments. For materials on the history of physical chemistry, see the History of Science policy.
Geographical: Not applicable.
Treatment of subject: Emphasis is on research materials, but acquisition is selective. Textbooks are acquired only by faculty request. Popular treatments are not purchased.
Types of material: The collection includes treatises, dictionaries, compendia, spectral and data collections. No preference is given to original vs reprint; hardcopy is preferred to microfilm. Electronic material is selected when it is appropriate.
COORDINATION INFORMATION:
Physical chemistry and physics are extensively collected in the Chemistry/ Physics Library; biophysics in the Life Sciences Library.
