UR Library Catalog

Use the catalog to locate books, journals, videos and other materials owned by the University of Richmond. (You must use an online database or print index to identify articles within journals).

Online Databases

Chemical Abstracts (CA) is now available to the UR community through SciFinder Scholar, a desktop research tool used to locate and process information on a wide variety of chemical and chemistry-related topics. Using Scholar, you may perform substructure and patent searches, follow hyperlinks to other sources, access many full-text sources, and also search Medline. Scholar can only be accessed from UR computers that are loaded with the desktop software program; all library and public lab computers provide the necessary software.
You can locate Scholar under Start > Programs > Library CDs.

The ISI Web of Knowledge -- including Science Citation Index -- offers the unique option of searching with cited references, linking articles forward in time by authors' citations.

Medline and Biological Abstracts (BA) include some coverage of the chemistry literature, especially biochemistry:

Medline (1966 - the present) is available through the Ovid databases.

Biological Abstracts (1980 - the present) is also available through the Ovid databases.
