Chemistry


ACS publications

Provides online full-text access to journals published by the American Chemical Society contained in two databases: ACS Web Editions and ACS Journal Archives.

CRC handbook of chemistry and physics

Online, digital version of the print handbook of the same title. Searchable across tables and chapters, this resource provides access to physical science data, and physical property data of common compounds, both inorganic and organic. (Restricted to 2 simultaneous users.)

Google scholar

A web search engine that provides a way to search the scholarly literature including articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions.  Sources include academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other web sites.

For best results, configure Google Scholar to provide "Get at KU" links to KU Libraries' licensed resources, especially if you're working from off-campus. See our information on accessing KU Libraries resources via Google Scholar.

SciFinder-n

SciFinder-n is the new SciFinder platform, which changed in 2021. It is a comprehensive database for the chemical literature, searchable by topic, author, substances by name or CAS Registry Number, OR by using the editor to draw chemical structures, substructures, or reactions. It is a core research tool for chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, nanotechnology, physics, environmental science and other science and engineering disciplines. Registration is required. NOTE: If you have an active SciFinder registration, it is not necessary to register again for SciFinder-n; the same username will work for both products. For guides and tutorials, see SciFinder-n Training the Materials.

SpringerLink

Provides online full-text access to journal titles from 1997 to 2016 (except for a small number of titles which are current) and to books published from 2005 to 2011. Published content is predominantly in the sciences, medicine, technology, business and economics.
