After-hours access to the Physics Library is available only to
selected Stanford faculty and students with specific needs for physics
and astronomy literature. After-hours use allows access to the materials
and facilities of the Physics Library during unstaffed times. The
Library's reserve collection is not available when the Library is
closed.
Responsibilities
of After-Hours Users
24-hour access to the Physics Library is a privilege that is granted
only by the Physics Library. This privilege is granted to individuals
and cannot be shared or transferred from one user to another.
Responsibilities of after-hours users include the following:
- familiarity with the information and resources in the Library;
- charging all materials out before leaving the Library;
- understanding that Library doors are locked at all times and
that non-access holders are not allowed entry; and
- knowledge of emergency procedures.

Procedure
at Closing Time
When staff close the Library at the end of each day, they
will flash the Library lights off and then on again. At that time
all users, including those with after-hours access, must leave
the Library. After leaving, after-hours users may scan
their cards, one at a time, to re-enter the Library. After-hours
users may leave their study materials in the Library while they
step out to scan in again.

Eligibility
Eligible users include Stanford University Physics and Applied
Physics departments':
- faculty;
- graduate students;
- undergraduate students with a declared Physics major; and
- postdoctoral appointees.
Faculty from related Stanford University departments who have
specific needs also may obtain access. Graduate students from
related departments
may obtain access upon written request from their advisor stating
a valid need for after-hours use of physics and astronomy literature.
