Chemistry and Biochemistry

Welcome to the chemistry and biochemistry research guide.  This guide will serve as your gateway to the most relevant research tools you will need. Research tools are arranged by category and can be accessed by selecting from the tabs on the side.

Need help?

Contact me to set an appointment (see contact information on the left) for help with research in chemistry and biochemistry.

I also offer instruction sessions tailored to your course and learning objectives for classes of graduate and undergraduate students. These sessions may be presented live or recorded in advance for asynchronous delivery.  Please do not hesitate to contact me via email to discuss your needs.

Start by formulating a solid search strategy

Before you begin searching the literature, it's important to have properly defined your topic and chosen appropriate key words.

Choose appropriate search tools:

• Looking for research articles, search key databases in chemistry and biochemistry;
• Looking for physical property data, handbooks, sources in crystallography?  Consult our selection of resources, more can be located in Omni;
• Searching for conference proceedings, patents, and much more?  Consult our grey literature resources;
• If your research is multidisciplinary, consider searching other subject databases.  Consult the appropriate research guides to identify key resources.
