SUBJECT AREA:  QD - CHEMISTRY;  and BIOCHEMISTRY

Purpose (major target group and interdisciplinary relationships): Minor, major, honours and graduates studies in physical, organic, inorganic, organometallics and bioinorganic chemistry and major and honours study in biochemistry.

Existing Collection Strength: QD-selective.

Current Collecting Intensity: QD-representative. Physical, organic, inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry are covered about equally.

Geographic focus: None.

Chronological focus: Current.

Languages collected: English.

Formats collected: Paper, micro formats, video, computer software.

Access to Journal Articles: Free online searching provided for Biosis Previews and Chemical Abstracts for faculty and students in lieu of paper version. ProQuest Research Library does not address the chemical sciences adequately. General Science Index and Applied Science and Technology Index can be used for general research in this area. Faculty and students have access to Current Contents, WEB of Science* [Science Citation Index] and CarlUncover for indexing of the tables of contents of journals and for document delivery. IDEAL Library*, American Chemical Society*, Royal Society of Chemistry*, Springer-Verlag Link* provides additional full text access. Document delivery charges are the responsible of individual faculty. The Library pays any user fees attached to these systems. [Access is through the CNSLP Agreement.]
