 | Subject Librarian: Meghan Lafferty E-Mail: mlaffert@umn.edu Subject Description:This page is meant to guide you to resources about chemical analysis. There may be important information sources on related pages (for example, pricing information and safety sources are under chemistry (general aspects)). In addition, you might want to see the page for the type of compound you wish to analyze (inorganic, organic, or polymers). |
Abstracts and Indexes
* Premier Resources *SciFinder Scholar   SciFinder Scholar is the best database for chemistry-related topics; Access it online, download software to use it on your home or office computer, access it from public computers in Walter, BioMedical, or Magrath Libraries by clicking on the SciFinder desktop icon (note: access contractually restricted to current U of MN faculty, students and staff). SciFinder Scholar includes journal and patent literature with references as far back as 1907 as well as information on chemical regulatory data, suppliers, reactions, and substances. You will need to download and log in to VPN before you can access SciFinder from off-campus. Non-affiliates should see this guide for options. [more information] [  Add To myLibrary!] |
Academic or Scholarly Articles Subject Indexes
