The library's catalog is back up and running, if you experience problems, please let us know by calling the reference desk at 713-221-818.
Our new doors have been installed on the 5th floor as well, they are much more attractive than the temporary sheetrock doors were. Come by and take a look.
Meanwhile the renovation of the 5th floor continues and is making progress. We are looking forward to seeing the end results of this project and thank everyone for their patience.
Tomorrow (Friday, May 18,2012) the 5th floor front entry way will be under construction (New front doors!) and no one will be able to enter this way for the entire day. All staff and patrons wanting to get to the 5th floor of the library should use the stairway through the 4th floor Lab.
The UH-System Library Catalog will be unavailable on Thursday, May 17, 2012 between 7:00pm and 10:00pm due to scheduled maintenance. Please plan accordingly.

We are pleased to announce the addition of 24,000 e-books from Springer-Verlag, one of the world’s leading publishers in computer science, mathematics, the natural sciences, and other fields.
The new e-book collections include all English-language books published by Springer from 2005 to 2012.
Springer e-books are provided as chapter-level PDF files with no Digital Rights Management (DRM), so each chapter is easy to download or print, and there are no restrictions on the number of users.
