What can the Library do for you • Helps finding literature • Use CERN Document Server http: //cdsweb. cern. ch and find preprints, articles, books, but also videos, photos. . . • Use online databases • Gives access to literature: online and on shelf • (e)-books, (e)-journals • Listens to your needs • Looking for a paper or a book which is not available here?

With the Library, you can: • Read night and day! • Borrow books (and request them from your desk with CDS!) – New books every week (have a look on the screen in the “Pas perdus”!) – We order books and other documents from external Libraries in case we don’t have them here • Borrow standards or buy them • Buy books and software in the CERN Bookshop • Use the scan-to-mail machine • Ask the Librarians and challenge them! • …

What you can do for us • We rely on you … – We operate openly but on trust • Share your information – Submit your documents (reports / conference papers / articles etc) to CERN Document Server – Donate books you no longer need • Suggest purchases for the Library collection • Spread the word!

Open Access policy • CERN rules say you should submit your documents to CDS (O. C. no. 6). If not, even CERN staff might not have access to your publications • 50 years old CERN reports can still not be scanned because the publisher owns the copyright… • Self-archive your articles (preprints/conference submissions etc) in CDS – http: //cdsweb. cern. ch/ – Use the submit button and “CERN Open Document” for most of your submissions • The LHC-era will see a publishing reform – SCOAP 3: a new publishing model for particle physics and ensure open access: www. scoap 3. org – See the DG’s slides on open access – Other domains could follow soon
