Biolinks
"A search engine for scientists, with links to journals, organizations, companies
and more. It spiders the web and has human-categorized results." -Searchenginewatch.com
ChemCenter
"Links to the ACS's many professional services (career, membership, and grants)
are arranged on a single page for easy reference. The 'Conferences and Communications'
page provides links to meetings, conferences, newsletters, policy groups,
and outreach programs. The 'Education Center' provides access to the ACS's
extensive range of instructional offerings. Free registration, though not
currently required, will be necessary to access special services in the future."

ChemFinder
Database retrieves name, molecular formula, molecular weight, and CAS registry
numbers as well as links to public source sites which have additional information
about the compound.
ChemWeb
Allows free searching of chemistry journals, grants access to selected reference
materials (e.g., chemistry dictionaries), provides links to reviewed chemistry
web sites, and has created 'forums' of information by divisions of chemistry.
Must join at no cost to access resources. Includes access to Beilstein Abstracts.
"Beilstein Abstracts is a free database of titles and abstracts of approximately 600,000 articles from 140 journals in organic and related chemistry from 1980 to the present. After free registration with ChemWeb, users may browse or search the database by author, title, abstract, and several modifiers. Search returns include title, author, source, document type, language, and an abstract." -Scout Report (Copyright Internet Scout Project, 1994-2000. http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/)
Chemie.DE
Directory and search engine for information about chemistry.
E-print Network
"The Department of Energy's PrePRINT Network is a searchable gateway to preprint
servers that deal with scientific and technical disciplines of concern to DOE,
such as physics, materials, and chemistry, as well as portions of biology, environmental
sciences and nuclear medicine. (Generally, preprints are manuscripts that have
not yet been published, but may have been reviewed and accepted; submitted for
publication; or intended for publication and being circulated for comment.)"
General
Chemistry Resources
Includes a database for annotated general chemistry web sites.
GrayLit Network
"The GrayLIT Network makes the gray literature of U.S. Federal Agencies easily
accessible over the Internet. [Gray literature is defined as] foreign or domestic
open source material that usually is available through specialized channels
and may not enter normal channels or systems of publication, distribution,
bibliographic control, or acquisition by booksellers or subscription agents."
GrayLIT Network provides access to Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)
Report Collection, DOE Information Bridge Report Collection (covers physics,
chemistry, materials, biology, environmental sciences, energy technologies,
engineering, and renewable energy), and EPA - National Environmental Publications
Internet Site (NEPIS).
Information Retrieval
in Chemistry-WWW Server
"A new discovery by the Scout Team, the Information Retrieval in Chemistry-WWW
Server is a resource site devoted to chemistry for 'both novice and advanced
Internet users.' Resources are divided into several categories including Chemistry,
Chemistry-related sections, Internet resources, and mailing lists. The chemistry
sites are divided into over 50 types of chemistry, from marine to colloidal.
Chemistry-related sections include bioscience, mathematics, and geoscience."

InfoSurf:
Chemistry
Collection of chemistry web sites, with short annotations, organized by categories
such as 'chemical data sources' and 'super sites.' Created and maintained
by the University of California Santa Barbara library.
IUPAC
Compendium of Chemical Terminology
"Compiled by the Royal Society of Chemistry, and originally published in print
form by Blackwell Science, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) Compendium of Chemical Terminology has recently been made available
online for free. The searchable compendium, popularly referred to as the 'Gold
Book,' contains 'nearly 7000 terms, with authoritative definitions, spanning
the whole range of chemistry.' The search screen provides easy access to definitions."

Links
for Chemists
"Over 7500 links to WWW chemistry resources." Categorizes web sites in
side frame. No descriptions of the resources and lacks information about access
restrictions.
NIST (National
Institute of Standards and Technology) Chemistry Web Book
"For information on thermodynamic data for over 5,000 chemical compounds and
on ion-energetics data for over 10,000 chemical compounds, NIST's Chemistry
WebBook is available for searching. Compounds can be searched by name, chemical
formula, or CAS registry number. Information on enthalpy of formation, heat
capacity, entropy, ionization potential, and appearance potential is available." -Scout Report (Copyright

Science
Reference Room: Index to Physical, Chemical and Other Property Data
"This reference guide from Arizona State University's Noble Science and Engineering
Library amounts to 'an index to selected library and internet resources that
contain chemical, physical, thermodynamic, mechanical, toxicological, and
safety data.' Starting with a list of suggested standard reference sources
that may be found in most technical libraries, this reference guide goes on
to include a vast reservoir of library books and Internet sites where a user
may locate specific information." -Scout

Scout Report
The Scout Report reviews web sites, which are "most valuable to the education
community." Records will include reviews and subject headings. Can search
or browse for web sites.
TOXNET
Collection of databases on toxicology, hazardous chemicals, and related fields.
The
Virtual Chemistry Center
Extensive collection of links. Short summaries follow the lengthy list. Hosted
by University of California Irvine Science Library.
WebElements
"Dr. Mark J. Winter, Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield (UK) maintains
this web-based periodic table. While there are no shortage of periodic tables
on the web, WebElements is one of the oldest and best. Key data such as atomic
weight and number are just the beginning at this site. In addition to complete,
WebElements includes chemical, isotope, spectroscopy, electronic, biological
(including abundance in humans) and geological data. Graphical crystal structure
is also provided in static, VRML, and Chime based views." -Scout
