Welcome!
This guide is intended to help with locating published research scholarship in the discipline of chemistry. The print collection is housed primarily at the Science & Engineering Library, but the William T. Young Library and the Medical Center Library may also house information for chemical research. Below are links to several databases relevant to the field when searching for articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, etc. The Finding Resources tab assists with locating journals, books, dissertations and other library resources.
For further assistance with any of these tools, tailored research help, or EndNote training, feel free to contact me by email at vperry@uky.edu or visit any campus library for assistance. Recommendations of resources that should be added to this guide are appreciated.
