*Note*: Click the link above for the eBook, or find it in the Snell Library reference stacks on the Boston Campus
- ChemSpiderFree resource from the Royal Society of Chemistry; articles from Royal Society of Chemistry journals and PubMed. Focuses on chemical structure data (does not search articles as thoroughly as SciFinder).
- BioCyc This link opens in a new windowOver 20,000 pathway/genome databases (PGDBs). BioCyc encyclopedias integrate a diverse range of data and provide a high level of curation for important microbes. Data can be downloaded and queried, and Pathway Tools can be installed to create your own local database. View more information about this resource.
- Knovel Library This link opens in a new windowThis collection of searchable engineering reference materials contains Property Searches and a Critical Tables e-book.
- NIST Chemistry WorkbookThis site provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by NIST - National Institute of Standards and Technology - under the Standard Reference Data Program.
- Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (CRC) This link opens in a new windowThe 103rd edition, 2021, of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a vast almanac of facts, tables, and statistics about mathematics and the physical world. It is one of the most used handbooks in the sciences. Access is limited to 2 users at a time.
- NCBI - National Center for Biotechnology InformationEstablished in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.
