Chemistry Research Guide 

Always get to the databases via the library’s website.  You have to be authenticated as a St. Ed’s user, because we pay for access to the databases. Entering from the library website will do that.  

From the Library’s homepage, choose Databases. Then, click Science under the “subject” link for the science databases.
