Research of Radiation Laboratory scientists, staff, and graduate students are supported in the fields of radiation chemistry and other areas of physical chemistry, radiation biology, photochemistry, photobiology, and photophysics. While interest in these areas is centered in the Radiation Laboratory, faculty and students in Chemistry, Physics, Civil Engineering, and Electrical Engineering have interest in one or more of the areas. The primary language of collection is English though materials in other languages are acquired selectively. Translations into English are preferred whenever available. For materials on the history of physical chemistry, see the History of Science policy.
Emphasis is on research materials, but acquisition is selective.
Textbooks are acquired only by faculty request. Popular treatments are not purchased. Electronic material is selected when it is appropriate.
