After August 31, attempts to access our old E-Journals page (http://www.tdnet.com/stanford/) will result in a “This Page Cannot Be Displayed” message.

Links throughout the SULAIR web space have already been updated to point to the new E-Journals page, but personal bookmarks and non-SULAIR pages should be updated.

Falconer Biology Library Implements Card Access for After-Hours Use

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Falconer Library is implementing after-hours card access. Access when the library is open will not be affected by this change. Effective Monday, March 10, any physical keys for Falconer’s front door will no longer function. Access will be by use of an authorized Stanford ID only, and only facilities and emergency personnel will have a physical key.

Faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and academic staff are eligible for after-hours access. Orientation tours are required and can be arranged by appointment. For grad students and postdocs outside Biology, Falconer requires an email message from the student’s adviser stating that the student needs 24-hour access to Falconer’s materials. This message should be sent to falconerlibrary@stanford.edu.
