Finding Information for Chemistry 345
Finding your way
Library, Information and Technology Services (LITS) provides library and technology support to the campus. Use our document Getting Around in LITS to tell you where to find people and places in our buildings. Many of the materials you may want to use for your classes are available online, but you will also need printed resources to do your best work. You may also want to Ask a Librarian for assistance. The science librarian is Sarah Oelker, and her office is next to the Reference Room on Level 4 of Williston Library.
Some other spots in the library you may need:
- Science books are on Level 6 of the Miles-Smith wing, call numbers Q-TP
- Science journals are on Levels 2 & 3 of Miles-Smith, shelved alphabetically by journal title:
- A... - Journal of Differential Equations -- Level 3
- Journal of Ecology to Z...-- Level 2
- Photocopiers -- Level 2, Miles-Smith, and Level 2 1/2, Williston

Books
To find books on a particular topic, or by title or author, search the Library catalog.
Here are the call number ranges that contain the books you are likely to want:
- Q (general science, science encyclopedias)
- QC (physics, QC 400-700 for spectroscopy)
- QD (chemistry; QD 1-69 for general chemistry works, dictionaries, etc.; QD 450-731 for physical and theoretical chemistry)
- R (medicine)
- T (general technology)
- TP (chemical technology)
Articles
Need articles to do your research? Of course you do. Try these databases:
- SciFinder Scholar is the most comprehensive database we have for chemistry research; it requires you to download and install a program to search it, but if you plan on doing a lot of chemistry, this is the database for you
- Web of Science covers 5000 journals and will tell you who else has cited an article
- Pubmed by the National Library of Medicine covers biomedical research (including a great deal of chemical research with biomedical importance) back to the 1950s
- ScienceDirect is a very large collection of science articles from science publisher Reed Elsevier, covering 1995 to the present day
