PubChem (NIH) is a small organic molecule database, with substance information and chemical structures.
The following databases
provide either full-text articles or citations (information about when
and where the article was published).
Once you have an article
citation,
- Use the Find
It! @ Wellesley
link from each citation to reach one or more electronic journal sources or perform a search in the Wellesley
College Library Catalog. - If Wellesley does not
own the title, you can request it via Interlibrary
Loan (ILL).

Web of Science WC , also known as Science Citation Index Expanded, is very useful in performing interdisciplinary subject searches, from 1965+. Also identifies newer articles, written in 1965 onward, which cite certain authors or key papers from any time period. NOTE: When you finish your session, please be sure to logout.
PubMed indexes articles in all fields of medicine and biomedicine, with abstracts, from the 1950's onward. Links to additional resources (encyclopedia, drug information, etc.) from the National Library of Medicine. PubMed Basics brochure. Short Tutorial.
SciFinder Scholar [Internet Site]. WC
Best
for finding chemical journal articles, book chapters, patents, conference
proceedings, technical reports, and chemical doctoral dissertations,
book reviews, and biographical information. Also
traces articles forward in time, from the mid-1990's onward. Email Irene
Laursen if you would like help using Scholar.
