Books

Use the blue frame 'Search' and choose the simple search or the advanced search. Following the search, you can find your book or a list of books, as well as the availability of these (available, not to borrow, return date = borrowed). By clicking on 'More information', you can read information about the shelf mark (among others) which indicate its location in the shelves.

Books are arranged according to an internal classification (see ‘Introduction – Books classification’). Each book has a shelf mark, written on a colored sticker; they are divised in 2 categories: books for loan and not for loan (black sticker). To help you to find a book, you can see the colored sign boards at the beginning of the  shelves.

- Books series

Some particular collections are considered as « series ». They are stored in a little room near the shelf DIV. You can see that is a book series when you read at the end of the shelf mark …./S (ex : PHT3 SSS/S).

- New books

You can consult new books at the beginning of shelves below colored sign boards for about one week. It is forbidden to borrow them during this period. You can write your name on the little card inside each book in order to make a booking. The librarian will send you an email when you can borrow it.

- Interlibrary loan

If you can't find a book in the catalog, the librarian can request it by interlibrary loan. From the library website, click on 'Order document' and follow the instructions. Book will be sent by an external library, in France or abroad.The duration of loan is decided by the external library.

Journals

From the library website, click on the blue frame ‘A to Z journals’. You have two solutions to find your journals: - direct access by multidisciplinary portals (BibCnrs or Beluga) or - by alphabetical lists (not fully exhaustive) of titles in physics, chemistry, materials and so on...
 
In the alphabetical lists, links have been created to simplify access to electronic versions; be careful of the written dates that indicate you the open period for the access to full-text articles.
The 2 last columns indicate if we have the paper version, as well as the shelf mark (Per…), to note in order to find your journal.

- Online access

It exists 2 possibilities to access full-text articles:

* Beluga: Grenoble Alpes University portal (access by Agalan ID). When you click on the link in the table, a connexion window will open, then enter your Agalan ID and continue your search.
There is also a tool to simplify the use of Beluga: Foxified for Mozilla Firefox. Foxified allows you, in a few clicks, to access full-text articles without clicking on the whole Beluga website.

* BibCnrs: CNRS portal (access by personal identifiers Janus). When you click on the link in the table, a connexion window will open, then click on the blue bar  'via le gestionnaire d'identité Janus', enter your Janus password and continue your search.

Warning! Some electronic journals are accessible only by one platform (for example: access to 'Nature' journals only exists through BibCnrs; journals of publishers APS, AIP, IEEE, ACS... are only accessible through Beluga).

To know how to obtain Beluga and BibCnrs personal identifiers, go to FAQ.

Databases

Access to different databases is possible from the library website when you click on  the blue frame ‘Digital resources’. The main useful databases are: Web of Science (WoS), Chemical Abstracts...
When you click on one of the databases, you will be asked to identify yourself (using nomad access: Janus or Agalan).
To remind: databases, more precise than ’Google Scholar’ (for example), do not necessarily provide full-texts articles but are used to find references on a specific subject, or articles written by an author and so on...

- Techniques de l’Ingénieur (TI) (articles in French)

'TI' is a specific collection, which deal with scientific and technical articles such as: Nanotechnology, Physics/Chemistry, Mathematics for the engineer, Plastics and composites, Electronics, Physico-chemical constants…
‘TI’  is available in paper version until 2009-2010. Collections are stored in a closed wardrobe.

'TI' is also available in electronic version via Beluga.
