McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology with many features. You
may search by word or phrase or browse by topic. It includes a science
dictionary, news articles, research updates, biographies, information about
data, tables and tools, a question and answer archive, links to web sites,
and illustrations. The Student Center has study guides, additional reading
materials, and topical essays.
American Chemical Society Journals
A
comprehensive collection of chemistry journals available through the
American Chemical Society.
Chemoreception Abstracts
This database brings together studies from
many diverse disciplines relating to the biochemistry, neurobiology,
molecular biology, and physiology of smell, taste, internal chemoreception,
chemotaxis, and infochemicals such as pheromones. Includes animal
physiology, pathology, and behavior.
Science Direct
Science Direct provides access to the full text of
five hundred journals published by Elsevier Science as well as . Articles are
generally available from 1995 forward. Coverage is strongest for biology,
chemistry, geology, marine science, mathematics, medicine and physics, but
numerous other disciplines are represented, including business, child

and tourism.
Science Resource Center
Science Resource Center is an in-depth,
curriculum-oriented science database that provides a one-stop resource for
all science-related research needs. This 24/7 resource reflects curriculum
trends and focuses on key concepts taught in school classrooms including
biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, math, environmental science,
life science, medicine, space science, computer science, technology, history
of science, science and society, science as inquiry, science-related
biographies and more.
Toxicology Abstracts
Toxicology Abstracts covers issues from
social poisons and substance abuse to natural toxins, from legislation and
recommended standards to environmental issues. Surveying the literature for
toxicology studies of industrial and agricultural chemicals, household products,
pharmaceuticals, and myriad other substances, each issue publishes information
concerning the in vivo effects of toxic substances. Topics of current concern
such as the effects of alcohol and smoking, drug abuse, hydrocarbon studies,
nitrosamines, radiation and radioactive materials, and much more are extensively
examined. Toxicity testing methodology and analytical procedures for toxic
substances are also covered.
Toxline
Toxicology, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, antidotes. Coverage
1997 to present
