Databases

• CAS SciFinder-n - CAS SciFinder-n is a database created by the Chemical Abstracts Society (CAS) as a complete chemistry information resource. You can use this resource to add important chemical context to your keyword search with chemical structures. Search all reactions, substances and references at once. 
• Knovel - Contains online monographs and reference books in many areas of science and engineering. It can be used early in the research process to become aware of general safety information for particular activities, processes, and substances, as well as later in research to learn more specifics about substances.
• Sciwheel - Provides a unified workspace for scientists to collect, write & discuss scientific literature. It features a web-based application, a browser extension, powerful word processing plugins and a mobile application. Includes a reference manager and key article recommendations by a faculty of over 8,000 leading experts in biology and medicine.
• JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) Video Journal and Science Education - A video library dedicated to teaching the practice and theory of scientific experiments through engaging and easy-to-understand visual demonstrations. JoVE Education includes lab manuals, methods and an encyclopedia of experiments.
• ScienceDirect - Discover ebooks and peer-reviewed journals in the areas of physical sciences and engineering, life sciences, health sciences, and social sciences and humanities. It contains indexing, abstracts, and tables of contents for over 2,500 journals and over 35,000 ebooks.

• Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry - Browse this leading reference in chemistry and chemical and life science engineering. Subject areas include: inorganic and organic chemicals, advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, metals and alloys, biotechnology and biotechnological products, food chemistry, process engineering and unit operations, analytical methods, environmental protection, and many more.

Websites

• NIST Chemistry Portal - Provides users with easy access to chemical and physical property data for chemical species through the internet. The data provided in the site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard Reference Data Program and outside contributors. Data in the WebBook system is organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.
• PubChem - Chemistry database at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), that collects information on chemical structures, identifiers, chemical and physical properties, biological activities, patents, health, safety, toxicity data, and many others.
• Periodic Table of Elements - The periodic table of the chemical elements displays the organizing principles of matter. This resource allows you to explore a broad range of information about the elements, their reactions, their properties, their structures, and their histories.
