  All of the references in the library are in a database which may be searched by author, title, and/or keyword.

• Entry Forms

  Please help us enter new references into the library database through a very easy to use form-based interface. (This feature is available only to local users in the Cognitive Science Group)

  Locating and Obtaining Papers and Books

  • Locating a paper or book

    Papers and books are located outside room 389 in the Centennial Research Building (CRB). Borrowing is restricted to students and faculty involved in our Cognitive Science program, but many papers are available to everyone via anonymous ftp through the College.

    Once you locate something of interest, look at the field labelled "%L", this shows the location of the document. There are three types of locations:

    • Books Locations beginning with a B (e.g., B222) are located on the bookshelves and are ordered sequentially by location number.
    • Papers Locations beginning with a letter other than B (e.g., K2222) are papers, located in the filing cabinets against the wall. Papers are also ordered sequentially by number, ignore the initial letter.
    • On-line material Many papers written by faculty and students in the Cognitive Science Group are available electronically, either from the College of Computing's anonymous ftp server or directly from the author(s). The locations of these documents are clickable URL's which will either retrieve the document directly or allow you to send mail to the contact author to request a copy.

  • How to be a good borrower

    Remember that most of the papers are the property of faculty members who have allowed us to use them - so please take care of them! Also, remember to SIGN OUT WHATEVER YOU BORROW, the sign out sheet is on the file cabinets. This lets other people know who has a reference they are looking for. Please don't keep things longer than you need, there are a fair amount of people who use the library and it's annoying when something you need is gone for 3 months.

  Donating papers

  We can always use new papers - if you read something interesting, copy if for the the library. If you have to copy papers for a class, make an extra one for the library. If you host a colloquium speaker, ask him or her to bring some copies of their papers for the library. There is a donation pile on top of the file cabinets in the AI Lab.
