SEL Members- Lab Information

Library Resources

The SEL library has been revamped for easier use! In the Fall 2009 semester, many old publications of journals, magazines and conference proceedings were offered to Wendt Library. This donation process left us with room to continue to grow, and the shelves have been reorganized to find things more easily. Below is a list of some of the resources you can expect to find in the SEL library.

Click on the links below to find a sample of the titles available in each category.

• Conference proceedings
• Journals
• Magazines
• SEL Theses (hard copies)
• Theses from other UW students
• Theses from non-UW students
• Publications by SEL faculty
• General solar energy books
• General science/math textbooks
• Radiation data
• (Old) Software manuals (TRNSYS, EES, etc)

Don't forget to check the UW libraries for materials that may be of use: Wendt Library.
