Google can't find everything!  OAIster (pronounced "oyster") allows you to search the "deep web" to find documents and more that Google misses.  We've added it to our A-Z list of databases or click here to access directly.  Searching is straightforward and even allows you to limit by format (text, image, etc.)

You can also learn more about OAIster by reading our blog entry here.

As always, you can always ask a librarian if you need additional help.

Periodic Table videos (http://www.periodicvideos.com/index.htm#)
A YouTube video for each element on the periodic table.  Produced by the University of Nottingham.

Chemistry.org (http://www.chemistry.org/)
The web site to the American Chemical Society. Links to many excellent free (as well as proprietary information). Remember, the Duggan Library subscribes to all ACS journals full text online.

Information Retrieval in Chemistry WWW Server (http://macedonia.chem.demokritos.gr/)
A comprehensive index to chemistry sites around the world. In conjunction with the Sheffield Chemdex site, users should be able to find any chemistry site on the Internet that is worth finding.

IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology (http://old.iupac.org/publications/compendium/)
From the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (who is in the business of standardizing the language to describe the science of chemistry), this online chemistry "dictionary" will be helpful in understanding unfamiliar terms.

Organic Chemistry Resources Worldwide (http://www.organicworldwide.net/)
As the site title implies, those in need of organic chemistry information will find here a comprehensive and intuitive resource. Links are logically organized and generally are to high quality/reputable sources.

Sheffield Chemdex (http://www.chemdex.org/)
More than 7,000 chemistry-specific links organized in 13 categories. Sub-categories include an Educational Resources folder.

WebElements (http://www.webelements.com/webelements/scholar/)
The scholar edition of this online periodic table. Clicking on an element will allow you to access in-depth information such as that element's history, physical, electrical,and nuclear data, as well as compounds, uses, and much more. This site incorporates extensive graphics/multimedia, but in an appropriate manner. Perhaps the best of its type on the Web.

Intute
Brings together a wealth of chemistry websites, including those on organic, analytical, physical, theoretical chemistry and more.

Reactive Reports
An online chemistry Webmagazine, with full-text archival issues as well.

ChemSpider (www.chemspider.com)
Provides access to "millions of chemical structures" and includes blogs, news, forums and even job postings.  Very useful information!

Nature Precedings (http://precedings.nature.com/)
Access to pre-published scientific publications, broken into scientific categories (Bioinformatics, Ecology, Molecular Cell Biology, etc.)  A way to "openly share preliminary findings and solicit feedback".
