Information Competencies for Chemistry Undergraduates: the elements of information literacy
This document identifies the skills and knowledge that chemistry undergraduates should have by the completion of a bachelors degree in chemistry and lists specific resources we recommend. The document is divided into 4 sections: 1) Big Picture: the Library and Scientific and Chemical Literature; 2) Properties, Spectra, Safety Information; 3) Chemical Literature; and 4) Scientific Communication. |


Chemical Engineering Resources for Students
This undergraduate level research guide includes research methods plus lists to commonly used databases and reference materials. It also includes information to help students locate books and journals. Site-licensed software, useful web sites, and links to key lab safety resources are also included. The goal of this guide is to provide foundational support to the broad array of chemical engineering course assignments and to help foster information literacy skills. |

Evaluating Book Selections
A guide to resources for finding book reviews for chemistry and other science titles. While geared for use by librarians, this guide may also be helpful for students who are seeking reviews of scientific and technical books. This guide was originally prepared as a column for the ACS Livewire librarian newsletter circa 2006. Links were checked in March 2011, and all were valid except E-STREAMS which no longer appears to be available on the web. |
