TABLE OF CONTENTS
Looking for books and journals on Chemistry? Here's where to look:
QD 1-65 General QD 71-142 Analytical Chemistry QD 146-197 Inorganic Chemistry QD 241-441 Organic Chemistry QD 451-847 Physical and Theoretical Chemistry TP 1- 1185 Chemical Technology TP 200-248 Manufacture and Use of Chemicals
Books - You may use the online catalog [http://library.ua.edu] to obtain the location and call number of print books in the UA Libraries. The catalog will also tell you if UA Libraries has a license for an electronic book. You may search by book title, book author or editor (last name first), Keyword, subject heading, and other options.
Journal title - You may also search the online catalog by the title of the journal to determine whether the library has a subscription to the journal title, electronically or in print; and which years of a journal title are available electronically and which years are available in print.
UA Theses - You may also use the online catalog to locate UA Master's and Ph. D. theses by searching as an Author the following: university of alabama. dept of (name here).
Click below for lists of UA theses:
• UA Ph. D. theses in chemistry
• UA master's theses in chemistry
Display long/detailed form of each entry to view notes field which indicates master's thesis or Ph. D. thesis.Full texts of many University of Alabama dissertations and theses published from 1996 to the present are available in electronic format to UA faculty, staff, and students, in the Dissertations & Theses @ the University of Alabama database. The database Dissertations & Theses includes full text of many universities' dissertations and/or the first 24 pages of the dissertations, most beginning with 1996.
Need journal articles, technical reports or conference papers? Search these databases and print indexes for citations and/or full text.
Some of the databases will contain full text articles and reports. Some will have links to full text articles and reports. For many databases, the Libraries have configured a button labeled Article Linker to help you determine if the Libraries has access to a given article or journal title. You may also search the online catalog by journal title to determine whether the Libraries have the journal volume in which a needed article is located.

The following databases are useful for chemistry topics:
Database: SciFinder Scholar
Comprehensive index, with abstracts, to chemical and related literature, including research on properties, treatments, and preparations of compounds for electrical components. Includes citations to articles, book chapters, conference proceedings, patents, and more; as well as a chemical substance database and a chemical reaction database. 1907-current.Access: You can use SciFinder Scholar from most campus locations, but the SciFinder Scholar client (a special piece of software) must be installed on your computer. The SciFinder Scholar Agreement Page has a link to the software for SciFinder Scholar. Note, SciFinder Scholar is already loaded on computer workstations in Rodgers Library, and is available only for on-campus users.
