Chemistry Resources
Most of our chemistry books and journals can be found in the 540 section. Journals are located on the third floor of the library, general collection books on the second floor. Chemistry reference books can also be found on second floor in the Reference 540 section. This is a separate section from the general collection. Some of the more important titles for research include the following:

Databases
Databases that help you find journal articles can be found on the library page under “Electronic Research Databases”. Many of these databases will give you full text articles that you will be able to print from your house. If you use Academic Search Premier (this will give you the most full text articles but is not as professional as other databases), be sure to limit your search to academic journals since popular magazines are included here.
Science & Technology Collection 
contains over 800 leading full text journals covering relevant aspects of the scientific and technical community. Topics include aeronautics, astrophysics, chemistry, computer technology, geology, aviation, physics, archaeology, and materials science. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for more than 1,700 publications.
Arts and Sciences Collections
