Additional security measures, such as cyber and physical security features, have been implemented including the addition of a staff person who will ensure that these strict security guidelines are met, according to Jacqueline Stack of the Research Library. Visitors now will be required to sign in and out and show a valid identification. They will have access to the library's book and journal collections, the electronic databases and the electronic journal articles that are available to Lab staff. However, visitors will not have access to either electronic or hard copy technical reports.
Laboratory retirees, Northern New Mexico researchers and the community benefit from having access to the library's world-class research collections. The Research Library is the only scientific and technical library within a 100-mile radius; the next closest is at the University of New Mexico.
The Laboratory's parking in this area is severely limited with no designated parking set aside for visitors. Visitors are encouraged to use the Los Alamos Bus System Inc., at http://www.labus.org/routes/ or to park in the large parking lot across Diamond Drive.
