SciFinder Scholar SciFinder requires all users associated with MTA to create a personal account. This only needs to be done once. After that users may access SCIFINDER on campus or off campus using the proxy server address. Please take careful note of your username and password - these will be required each time you want to use SCIFINDER.
ChemRefer: Open Access Chemistry Literature Database
ChemRefer, a recent entrant into the STM open-access service arena, was designed with the chemical/pharmaceutical industry researcher in mind and offers easy access to chemistry literature found on the Web. The search interface is very simple and emulates the more popular Web-based search engines. Free searching, guaranteed free access to any article found, and the Web-browser toolbar are very attractive features. ChemRefer is far from comprehensive and is not as useful in an academic setting as SciFinder Scholar
The server was launched in 1998, with an archive of online copy of Physical Review from 1985 through 1996. Starting in January 2001, it was expanded to include all APS journal content back to 1893. For the year 2002, 1998 material has been migrated. In 2003, 1999 will be migrated and so forth. Reviews of Modern Physics is now part of PROLA as well. The complete archive consists of all of Physical Review back to 1893, all of Physical Review Letters back to 1958, and all of Reviews of Modern Physics back to 1929.
Google Scholar

Luminiaries of the Chemical Sciences
We are pleased to present this special supplement to Modern Drug Discovery and Today's Chemist at Work, which reviews the work of intellectual giants in the first of our series of books we call The Chronicles of Chemistry. Having started with a review of the accomplishments of individuals, in the next several years we will look at the great thematic trends of the science of chemistry over the past century, as well as the accomplishments of the companies that make chemistry their business.

Research Channel
ResearchChannel is a consortium of research universities and corporate research divisions dedicated to broadening the access to and appreciation of our individual and collective activities, ideas, and
opportunities in basic and applied research.
One of the major goals of ResearchChannel is to use program content creation and manipulation processes as testing medium for analog and digital broadcast and on-demand multimedia offerings, thus providing an unusual opportunity to experiment with new methods of distribution and interaction on a global basis.
Chemguide
This site is designed to help UK students over some of the more worrying parts of the A' level syllabuses, but should be useful if you are at the beginning of any similar advanced Chemistry course. It concentrates on the bits that textbooks tend to do too quickly and that students often find difficulty with. The over-riding aim is to try to increase your understanding of these difficult bits so that you gain confidence.
