Chemical Abstracts
Chemical Abstracts is the world's largest and most
up-to-date collection of chemical information, with more than 15 million
abstracts of journal articles, patents, and more. Sources for CA include
more than 8,000 journals, patents, technical reports, books, conference proceedings,
and dissertations from around the world. About 13,000 records are added every week,
with much of the information added to the database on a daily basis.
Environmental Policy Index
Web accessible interdisciplinary database of environmental article citations,
dating from 1973. Includes journals focusing on the full range of environmental topics:
scientific, social, political, philosophical, technical, industrial. Abstracts
included for many journals after 1997.For Southwestern community only.*
IDEAL: International Digital Electronic Access Library now
ScienceDirect
Features 200 scientific, technical, and medical full-text journals from Academic Press.
The articles are displayed in Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format), and the
tables of contents and abstracts in HTML. The system includes a robust search engine for
searching by various fields. ScienceDirect contains over 80,000 articles with 2,000 more
added every month. For Southwestern community only.*
SciFinder
SciFinder is a research tool that allows you to explore the CAS abstract databases
containing literature from many scientific disciplines including biomedical sciences,
chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and others.
You must set up an account while on campus to use this database.
REFERENCE WORKS
To find printed reference material relevant to your topic start with the library's
Voyager catalog. Do a Reference Materials
search using keywords to describe your topic. You can also check the library's Web
pages for subject guides for related topics to find other suggested sources.
Below is a title to get you started. To check call number and location information,
search the Voyager catalog.
CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics
REFERENCE, 1st floor 541.9 H191

WEB LINKS
CHEMINFO
CHEMINFO helps find and learn how to use chemistry information resources on the Internet and elsewhere.
This site is sponsored by Indiana University, and contains many very useful links.
MSDS (Material Safety DataSheets)
A reliable starting point for exchange of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) documents, which supplies information
on various chemical compounds in the most current format direct from the manufacturer.
WebElements
WebElements
aims to be a high quality source of information on the WWW
relating to the periodic table. Coverage is such that professional
scientists and students at school will all find something
useful. Currently most information is about the elements themselves
but the scope of WebElements will include simple compounds
as well in the future.
Wired Chemist
The Wired Chemist site is sponsored by Franklin and Marshall College for undergraduate students, and
is an outstanding source of information.
PERIODICALS
To find holdings and location information for specific periodicals titles (both print and online),
search the online catalog. To find citations or online full-text
for articles in periodicals on your topic, try the resources listed above under Indexes.
