Welcome to Fall semester 2013!

We are waiting for the Sorrells Engineering & Science Library to reopen after summer remodeling--should be soon, hopefully on Monday August 26.  Check the library webpage for the official announcement.  We are anxious for you to experience the redesigned space.  Introduce yourself to an Engineering Librarian:  Donna Beck will be in 4408; Lynn Berard in 4409; Matt Marsteller in 4405.


The Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, next door neighbors to our campus, is done with their wait! The corpse flower bloomed on August 20, 2013.  Typically these flowers only bloom every 6-10 years.

As a current student of Carnegie Mellon University, you have FREE OF CHARGE access to Phipps. 
Go over and take a break from your studies.  If you don't have time to see "Romero," you will definitely discover something else blooming.

What's that I see on the Library's home page Articles and Databases,
 A-Z list?
Yes!  It is the ASTM Digital Library! 
According to ASTM: 
"The ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library is a vast collection of industry-leading standards and technical engineering information.  The Library covers a broad range of engineering disciplines, including aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, environmental, geological, health and safety, industrial, materials science, mechanical, nuclear, petroleum, soil science, and solar engineering."
