Learning Objectives
In this library session, students will learn about:
- the literature in chemical and medical professions,
- important ASU Library accounts (interlibrary loan, SciFinder), and
- specialized databases such as SciFinder and PubMed to find chemical and medical information.
Your Library Accounts
Access these two accounts under 'My Accounts' on the ASU Library home page, http://lib.asu.edu
- My Library Account
- Manage checked out items, requests, & more!
- Help with renewals
- Help with fines
- My Illiad Account
- InterLibrary Loan & Document Delivery: PDFs of journal articles & book chapters; access to materials not available at ASU
- More Info
For searching chemical information, a SciFinder account is also necessary:
- One-time registration
- Access SciFinder
Getting Started
-
Knovel-Electronic library of science and engineering handbooks and databases.
-Search "My Subscription" only.
-Contains synonyms, CAS Registry Numbers, molecular formulas as well as background information.
In order to thoroughly research your compound, you will need the following:
- Compound name
- Approved by your instructor
- Synonyms
- Molecular Formula
- CAS Number
This information can be found in the following resources:
-
Merck IndexNot available online. Click on link to see where print copies are available. Look in the text of each entry for "Prepn"; these are references to preparations and syntheses.
-
SciFinderUse restricted to ASU faculty, staff and students for educational purposes only.
Must create an account with your ASU.edu email address prior to using resource.
All areas of chemistry and biochemistry. -
PubMedThe biomedical literature database.
Dropdown for MeSH = Medical Subject Headings
Use MeSH to map your search terms to the appropriate medical term. -
Google ScholarGoogle search through the scholarly literature. Provides important information such as links to citing articles.
Finding Named Reactions
