Off-Campus Access to Stanford Library Resources

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Swain Library has updated its webpage on Off-Campus Access to Stanford Library Resources. The new page includes detailed instructions on how to use Citrix for off-campus access to databases such as SciFinder Scholar, Beilstein/Gmelin via Crossfire, Cambridge Structural Database, NIST Surface Structure Database (NIST SSD), and CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index).

Connotea

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Connotea is a free online reference management and social bookmarking service (see article at doi:10.1045/april2005-lund), that recognises and stores DOI names, enabling bookmarking a DOI name directly. Connotea will convert the DOI name to a web link and retrieve the citation information for that DOI name from CrossRef. The Connotea bookmarklet also allows users to highlight and bookmark a DOI name from within an article web page.

Digital Object Identifiers

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Swain Library has created a webpage about Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). The DOI system aims to assign permanent, unchanging identifiers to online content.

CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics — New Web Version Available

Monday, November 12th, 2007

The 88th edition of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is now available online. In addition to the new and updated tables, it offers a foreword by Sir Harry Kroto, Nobel Laureate, and 59 tables that were previously in older editions of the Handbook.

The new web edition contains tables covering 5 new topics:

  • Properties of Ionic Liquids
  • Solubilities of Hydrocarbons in Sea Water
  • Solubility of Organic Compounds in Superheated Water
  • Nutritive Value of Foods
  • Properties of Organic Semiconductors

And 7 of the most heavily used tables have been extensively revised and updated:

  • Critical Constants
  • Heats of Vaporization
  • Aqueous Solubility of Organic Compounds
  • Thermodynamic Properties of Air
  • Dipole Moments of Molecules
  • Bond Dissociation Energies
  • Properties of Fundamental Particles

10 more tables have been made interactive and are now searchable by name, formula, and numerical properties.

Two new sections:

  • Tables that were previously removed from older print editions for reasons of space — Appendix C
  • Subject index giving you the same easy browsability as the print — Section 20

Restored Journal Subscriptions

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Except for Chemistry and Biology and the Tetrahedron Package, print subscriptions for all of Swain’s Elsevier journals were converted from “print plus online” to “online-only” subscriptions, effective January 2008. Freed funds are being used to provide online access to the titles below. Online holdings below are available now. Swain’s Journal List will be updated soon to reflect these changes.

 
 
 
 

Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Edition — Print Version Now Available

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

R. Bruce King (Editor)
Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Edition
Chichester; Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, c2005. 10 Volume Set
Swain Reference QD148 .E53 2005

Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry covers a variety of diverse substances, including not only molecular, coordination, organometallic and non-molecular compounds, but also special materials such as metallobiomolecules, semiconductors, superconductors, nanomaterials, ceramics, and minerals. The great diversity of inorganic compounds makes them vitally important as industrial feedstocks, fine chemicals, catalysts, and advanced materials. Inorganic chemistry also plays a key role in life processes through the action of metalloenzymes and because of the importance of metals in protein and nucleic acid structure. It is anticipated that the second edition of this work will not only be a lasting source of information but also a stimulus for many new discoveries.

The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Magazine and Journals Now Available Online, Including IChemE Journal Archive

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Based in the United Kingdom, the IChemE is the hub for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide. They are the heart of the process community, promoting competence and a commitment to sustainable development, advancing the discipline for the benefit of society and supporting the professional development of members.

The Chemical Engineer
Issue 694 (2000) to Present

The Chemical Engineer

The Chemical Engineer (tce), the leading monthly magazine for the international chemical engineering community, containing the latest news, in-depth features and current job vacancies.

IChemE publishes four journals, each containing original, peer-reviewed chemical, process and related engineering research. Our journals are the official journals of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering Parts A, B, C and D.
