Chemistry & Biochemistry Research Guide

Here at CSUSM, we do not have public access to the generally recognized preeminent database in chemistry: Chemical Abstracts. Chemistry students usually access Chemical Abstracts during the Chemistry 300 class. You are welcome to inquire with the Natural Sciences Librarian regarding access.

• We do have access to the full text of journals published by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
• Below are links and descriptions of this and other scientific databases at CSUSM Library.
• The Chemistry Preprint Server
  (CPS) is a freely available and permanent web archive and distribution medium for preprints of research articles. As of May 24 2004, CPS is no longer accepting submissions.
   
• CSUSM science journals
  For those who like to browse a list, this is an Excel spreadsheet of all CSUSM periodicals (print and electronic) in call number ranges GB, GC, GE, Q, , R, S, & T. Search the library catalog by Title if you do not find the title you are looking for.
