James,
For the profs, I would suggest the standard journals such as the
Physicsal Review Series (A-E skipping any volumes that you don't have
researchers in to save $$) and Physical Review Letters. There are the
European Standard Journals such as the Physics Letters A&B and the
European Physical Journal A-D?? (used to be Zeitschrift fur Physik and
some French journal). There are other great field specific journals
that AIP (http://ojps.aip.org/), Springer-Verlag, IOP (Institute of
Physics), and Elsevier put out just to name some publishers that I am
found of. For books, also look at World Scientific.
I would suggest to looking into institution online subscription
prices. Most of these cost less and then a link can be put on the
library's homepage for any literature searches. It also helps the
convenience factor. Hope that helps.

A librarian asked me today what references the library should add to our
collection in the "hard" sciences. What do you folks think?
