The CERN LibraryThe CERN Library

A central unit and four satellites Few monographs, less than 40,000 500 open subscriptions to scientific journals

400 titles available electronically in full text

A very important collection of grey literature, more than 350,000 documents (with full-text electronically available from February 1994 onwards)


Definitions (1)Definitions (1) The CERN grey literature collection is

composed Documents prepared to be submitted to scientific journals Documents submitted to conferences Theses CERN internal notes (Committee papers, Proposals) External reports Pictures (photos & diagrams) Videotapes on academic training (partly “webcasted”) Administrative Documents (separate protected access) CERN internal publication (weekly bulletin)

Anomalous Behavior at a Superconducting Quantum Critical Point

by Ramazashvili, R ;

Email: Revaz Ramazashvili [email protected] Publ. Ref.: Phys. Rev., B : 56 (1997) 5518 - Published version - Imprint: 4 Nov 1997 4 p Subjects: CONDENSED MATTER

Abstract:Motivated by pressure experiments on UBe_{13} and Tl_{2}Ba_{2}CaCu_{2}O_8, we discuss low-temperatureeffects of the pairing interaction at a superconducting quantum critical point in a clean system. We point outthat measurements at this quantum critical point can provide a diagnostic tool to mark out non-BCSmechanisms of superconductivity.

How to prepare a virtual libraryHow to prepare a virtual library

The final goal is to provide the end reader with a complete toolbox to search, find, reach, download, use and manage the documents

There are no universal recipes The CERN Library tries to find its own balance

between traditional and electronic literature


Basic components of the CERN Basic components of the CERN virtual (digital) libraryvirtual (digital) library

ConclusionConclusion

More and more important role for the grey literature

Contraction of the number of traditional scientific publications

Exponential growing of spontaneous electronic journals
