Chemistry Library

The Chemistry Library is located on the 2nd Floor of the Graduate Chemistry Building, Room 299. The new 2nd floor reading room has been completely renovated with new furniture providing seating for 90 people. The reading room houses the Chemistry Library’s reference collection and current print journals. The remainder of the collection, including the back issues of print journals, books, theses and spectral data, is located in the basement of the Chemistry Building. Library staff will retrieve items from the basement facility upon request.

In keeping with modern library design, the reading room accommodates both individual and group study. For those interested in quiet study, there are carrels set along the windows overlooking the “Zebra Walk”. For users wanting to access the thousands of online library resources including SciFinder , the Web of Science, Reaxys, and electronic journals, the computer area includes eight networked PCs. The new lounge section, featuring eight modern leather chairs, provides a comfortable space to sit and read. For group study, the Library is furnished with many tables including some with inset whiteboards for drawing formulas and equations to help facilitate group interaction and learning. The library is open from 8:30am - 5pm Monday - Friday.
