American Chemical Society
http://www.acs.org
A professional organization established in 1876 that draws its members from industry and academe at all degree levels. Its mission includes assistance in chemical education and career development as well as its sponsorship of conferences, publications, collaborative research with the government, and promoting chemistry and the chemical sciences among the general population. Instructors, students, and researchers may find the direct links (below) useful.ACS Publications
http://pubs.acs.org/
A jumping off page to Journals & Magazines, Directories & Buyers Guides, Subscription Information, Copyright & Permissions, etc. To reach the links to individual journal titles, go to http://pubs.acs.org/about.html. Links such as Search ACS Journals provide shortcuts to ACS's electronic libraries.Chemistry.org

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) bulletin, C&RL News, regularly publishes a column, Internet Resources, which compiles and annotates Web sites by topic. The November 2000 column by Ibironke Lawal, engineering and science librarian at Virginia Commonwealth University, covers chemistry websites. To scan the complete table of topics for this column, see http://www.ala.org/acrl/resrces.html.

This directory is billed as an "electronic network" covering information gathered from international chemistry societies and maintained by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Besides providing a directory to dozens of chemistry societies, visitors will find job leads, conferences, book order sources, learning resources, its own e-zine, plus a history of science timeline and a periodic table that have been described as "visually stunning."

Upon first contact with this web site, take advantage of the free registration which entitles members to activities which range from free Beilstein Abstracts searching to joining chemistry discussion groups to launching Web queries through ChemGuide (Fiz Chemie's chemistry search engine).
http://macedonia.chem.demokritos.gr
An award-winning site that, as its name implies, focuses upon assisting chemists with retrieving information, mostly through browsing lists that classify and link to chemistry resources on the Web. An "Internet" button connects to a selection of links well suited to the self-learner seeking information on how to use the Internet itself. Maintained by the Institute of Physical Chemistry in Athens, Greece.

Founded in 1919, IUPAC has long been recognized as an information provider relating to chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data. Current issue of Chemistry International is a link.
http://www.rsc.org
The UK's learned society for chemistry and the professional organization for chemists. The Society publishes chemical information, supports the teaching of chemistry at all levels, organizes meetings, and, like ACS, works toward communicating science to the public.

This chemistry "mega-site" at the University of Liverpool is the ultimate browser's guide to chemistry Web links. Its general index includes standard "chemistry web fare" such as Biographies (of Nobel Chemistry Prize winners), Periodic tables, and Job postings. In addition, there are extensive listings for Funding bodies, MSDS sites, etc. - and for the more fanciful - features such as "Molecule of the Month." Incorporated as the chemistry site for the WWW Virtual Library.TOP OF PAGE updated 8/8/06
