Welcome to the SLAC Research Library. This web site is an online gateway to the extraordinary library resources of SLAC and Stanford University and serves as an important research tool for SLAC faculty, staff, and researchers.

The Library is staffed from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, but is open to all SLAC employees and users 24x7. We are now located temporarily in the foyer of building 50 (Computer).

The Library has quiet study areas and a reading room where you can relax and read the newspaper or current magazine. Additionally, there are computers, photocopiers, printers and microfiche readers for SLAC visitors and staff to use.

Our latest addition is a color photocopier with the ability to send any document via PDF to your desktop.
