Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Database containing nearly 90,000 material safety data sheets (MSDS) from the Sigma-Aldrich family of companies. These documents clearly define each product giving its composition, identifying any hazardous properties, outlining first-aid treatment in case of accidental body contact and even pointing out special fire fighting procedures that might be needed. In addition, there are MSDS suggestions for responding to an accidental release of the compound, for everyday product handling and storage, as well as for personal protection against exposure to the product.

MDL CrossFire (Beilstein)
MDL CrossFire is based on the Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry. It is a database of data on the preparation and properties of organic compounds. The database covers organic chemistry from 1771 to the present. It provides structure, reaction, and chemical, physical, and biological properties for over 7 million organic compounds, as well as more than 600,000 abstracts from the organic chemistry literature. Chemistry coverage includes: organic chemistry. Coverage is from the 18th century to the present and it is updated quarterly.
Access to MDL CrossFire is available in the Chemistry-Biology Library only.
A truly authoritative online resource, Science of Synthesis offers comprehensive and in-depth coverage of synthetic organic chemistry. This work is designed to be the first point of reference for chemists searching for reliable synthetic methods. Science of Synthesis focuses on the most effective and reliable methods for functional group transformations, and imparts essential reviews as well as detailed experimental procedures. Under the guidance of an international Editorial Board composed of distinguished chemists with unparalleled experience, over 1000 authors are contributing to the 48 volumes of Science of Synthesis. The methods in Science of Synthesis are complemented by additional material contained within the unique electronic backfile, containing every volume published in the Houben-Weyl series 1909-2003. The backfile includes a further 146,000 experimental procedures that cover synthetic knowledge stretching back to the late 1800s.

CAS SciFinder Scholar Information/Tutorials
Indexing, abstracts, and citation searching for science and social science scholarly literature. Scopus covers 14,000 titles across 4,000 publishers, providing access to over 25 million abstracts going back to 1966 and 5 years of cited reference back years, building up to 10 years by the end of 2005.
Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
The Web of Science is a science database of bibliographic information indexed so that you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work. It indexes more than 5,700 major journals across 164 scientific disciplines.
Cited Reference Searching lets you use a given work as if it were a subject term to identify more recent articles on the same topic. For example, you can find all works that reference articles published by A. Williamson in 1995 in the Journal of Neurophysiology (J Neurophysiol). This type of searching often locates relevant articles that cannot be retrieved through traditional subject-author searching. Coverage is from 1980 to the present.
