Chemistry

Understand our information infrastructure:

• The library pays for or provides access to databases relevant for researching topics in chemistry. Do the Chemistry Literature tutorial to understand SciFinder, the database for chemistry literature.
• Use links to databases from the library's web site (or this guide!) only. This ensures that the database provider knows you are from Knox College and will then connect you with appropriate services such as linked full text and interlibrary loan options.
• The library's interlibrary loan system will allow you to get most journal articles in 24 hours or less. 

For quick searching, try the ACS (American Chemical Society) Publications site. Search by keywords or by journal citation:

SciFinder is the premier database for chemistry literature. Use the tabs on this guide to learn about searching SciFinder.
