Physics

The UNT Libraries has a number of excellent dictionaries, handbooks, and encyclopedias. The easiest way to search for these if you don't have a title or author is to use the Keyword search and do a general search such as "physics and dictionary". You can use more specific search terms also, such as "particle physics", "nuclear physics" etc. If you don't get a result, try broadening your search back to "physics".

Most newer items will be in the Eagle Commons Library Reference Collection and have a "LIB USE ONLY" status which means they need to be used in the library. However, there are often older editions of items in the circulating stacks and these can be borrowed. If you find one in the circulating stacks that is still labeled as "library use only", please take it to a Reference Desk to see if the status can be changed.

A few items are presented below to get you started.
