Paper journals will gradually be removed:
Because most researchers rely on (library-funded)
online journal subscriptions, the Engineering Library
is embarking on an analysis of the use of our paper
journal subscriptions (prior to moving to electronic-only
access for almost all journals). Paper copies of
selected journals will gradually be removed from the
public area but will be available in the event of problems
with online access. If you have questions, contact

What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches?
A Nervous Wreck.
