The Pitt University Library System has developed a series of tutorials
and other guides to using the resources available through the libraray.
Even if you consider yourselve an expert user, you would do well to check
out these pages. Who knows! You might figure out how
to get even MORE INFORMATION -- sitting at your computer!
A listing of information Resources
for Chemistry from the Library at the University of California at Santa
Barbara. Most of the resources listed at this site are internet resources.
The list is comprehensive and very valuable.
A listing of Inorganic Chemistry
Resources in the UCSB Library. While you will not necessarily
find all of these at UPJ's Owen library, they are in the Chemistry Library
at Pitt-Oakland. The information on how to locate resources applies
at any library!
Many graduate programs (and some
undergrad programs) have required courses in Chem
Lit.
Several institutions have this course material on-line. Rather
than reinvent the wheel (and create my own) I expect you study the some
of the material offered in these courses:
Chempointers one way to find other chemistry sites on the Internet
Encyclopedia of Instrumental Methods A nice set of hypermedia tutorials developed by Prof. Brian Tissue (VPI) that describes a wide variety of instrumental methods of analysis.
