S&E Browsing Collection!!

May 12, 2006 on 2:38 pm | In News & Events |

This week, you may have noticed some books shelved where we normally display our new journal issues (the shelves with the blue-green endpieces, between the Current Journals and the Infostations). These are the first books in our new Browsing Collection, a popular science reading collection. Books are available to all patrons with a UCSD Library card (including faculty, staff and grad students) for 28 days + 1 renewal.

A few books so far:
• Many of the books featured in our Graphic Novels/Comic Books in Science display last fall, including the new Science of Anime: Mecha-Noids and AI-Super-Bots
• Programming the Universe : A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On the Cosmos
• The Velocity of Honey : And More Science of Everyday Life
• The World’s 20 Greatest Unsolved Problems
• Make Your Mark in Science: Creativity, Presenting, Publishing, and Patents, A Guide for Young Scientists
• The Liar Paradox and the Towers of Hanoi: The Ten Greatest Math Puzzles of All Time
• How To Survive a Robot Uprising : Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion
• Partners in Innovation : Teaching Assistants in College Science Courses
• Geometry and Billiards
• Taking Chances : Winning with Probability

Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to build up the core of this collection, and then new books will be added as published. If there’s a book you’d like to see included, we strongly welcome purchase recommendations. For the box where we ask how the material relates to UCSD programs, please Browsing Collection.
