AccessScience is a reference tool for all scientific disciplines. The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, the McGraw-Hill Yearbooks of Science & Technology, the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, and the the Hutchinson Dictionary of Scientific Biography are all included, as are nearly 800 videos illustrating various concepts in science.

The ACS Journal Archives provide searchable full-text access to over 130 years of original research in chemistry, including more than 450,000 articles dating back to the inaugural volume of the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1879. ACS publishes more than 35 peer-reviewed journals with articles across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, including agriculture, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, applied microbiology, chemical engineering, chemical information, general chemistry, clinical chemistry, computational chemistry, crystallography, energy and fuels, environmental science, food science and technology, inorganic chemistry, materials science, medicinal chemistry, nanoscience, organic chemistry, pharmacology and pharmacy, physical chemistry, polymer science, theoretical chemistry, toxicology, and others.

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a worldwide repository of small-molecule crystal structures developed and maintained by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). This database records bibliographic, chemical and crystallographic information for organic molecules and metal-organic compounds. This link provides access to the web version of this repository, which is called WebCSD. WebCSD will work on almost any web browser or platform, but it is not as comprehensive as the client software. If you are simply looking up common structures for educational purposes the web version should suffice, but for more complex tasks you will want to use the desktop client. On the library's Windows computers, you can access the desktop client by navigating to Desktop --> Class Software --> CCDC. There is currently no client version for Mac OS X or Linux. For access outside the Marriott Library you will have to set up an account with the Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC). The CHPC Information Page for the CSDS provides information about the software. To set up an account, visit the CHPC Account Setup Page. For questions, call Daureen Nesdill at (801) 585-5975 or send an email to our science librarians.

The collection centers around reference handbooks for chemists. It includes CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, Combined Chemical Dictionary, Dictionary or Organic Compounds, specialized dictionaries, Properties of Organic Compounds and Polymers: A property Database. Note: The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is continuously updated. If you are having trouble finding information it may be in an earlier edition. A summary of changes to the database is also available.

This database contains the CAS Registry Number®, chemical names (both formal and common), molecular formulas, and structures or sequences for over 7800 chemicals of widespread general public interest. These substances are of global commercial use or importance and have been cited 1,000 or more times in the CAS Databases. Examples of substances included are aspirin, biotin, benzoyl peroxide, and boric acid. The Common Chemistry database also includes all 118 elements of the Periodic Table, although not all of the elements may meet the 1,000 references threshold. The database also features links to Wikipedia records (when available) that have been provided by the Wikipedia Chemicals WikiProject in collaboration with Chemical Abstracts Service.

NOTE: This database will be canceled August 1, 2024.

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a widely used source of data for chemists, physicists, and professionals in related fields. The Handbook is updated annually, and contains information on topics relevant to Chemistry and Physics, such as Fluid Properties, Biochemistry, Polymer Properties, Practical Laboratory Data, Thermochemistry, Electrochemistry, Kinetics, Symbols, Terminology, and Nomenclature, as well as many others. The website displays a list of new and revised tables for the current edition, and provides access to tools that help search the Handbook and enhance its functionality.

NOTE: This database will be canceled February 1, 2024.

This encyclopedia covers the properties, manufacturing, and uses of chemicals, as well as materials, processes, and engineering principles. Current research, emerging technologies, economic aspects, environmental impacts and health concerns are also addressed. The database contains over 1,000 articles, which are updated regularly, as well as archival content.

This link provides access to a selection of engineering and materials science databases from ProQuest and Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, including Engineering Index, METADEX, Aluminium Industry Abstracts, Ceramic Abstracts, copper and polymer databases, Corrosion Abstracts, Engineered Materials Abstracts, and Materials Business File.

Methods in Organic Synthesis (MOS) is an alerting service covering current developments in organic synthesis. Topics covered by the database include new reactions, reagents, functional group changes, introduction of chiral centers, enzyme transformations, biological transformations, and more. Each MOS item includes reaction schemes, title and bibliographic details, and categorization by five indexes: author, product, reaction, reactant and reagent.

Natural Product Updates (NPU) provides access to graphical abstracts of new developments in natural product chemistry, selected from dozens of primary source journals. Some topics covered in the database include isolation studies, biosynthesis, new natural products, known compounds from new sources, structure determinations, and more. Around 200 graphical abstracts are published online each month, including structure diagrams, trivial and taxonomic names, molecular formulas, and physical and biological properties. Where items are taken from Royal Society of Chemistry journal articles, direct links are provided to the full text if it is available online.

Reagent Chemicals sets standards for the purity of reagent-grade chemicals and recommends test methods for analyzing these chemicals. This database provides specifications and analytical procedures to ensure the quality of chemicals, and includes general physical properties and uses for over 500 reagent chemicals.

This listing provides access to all of the full-text journals the library subscribes to through the Royal Society of Chemistry. A number of subjects are covered by the collection, including biology, biophysics, chemical science, materials, medicinal drug discovery and physics. New content is added as it becomes available.

NOTE: This database has been canceled. Access expired on July 1, 2024.

Science Reference Center contains full-text materials from hundreds of science encyclopedias, reference books, periodicals, and other sources. Topics covered in Science Reference Center include biology, chemistry, earth and space science, environmental science, health and medicine, life science, mathematics, physics, science and society, science as inquiry, scientists, technology, and wildlife.

TRAIL is a collaborative project to digitize, archive, and provide persistent and unrestricted access to federal technical reports issued prior to 1975. The TRAIL project was initiated in 2005 by engineering and government document librarians (including the University of Utah). The project has since expanded and is now a nationwide workflow among over 30 institutional partners. As of April 2011 more than 30,000 documents have been scanned, cataloged and added to the repository. U.S. federal agencies included in the collection so far are the Bureau of Mines, National Bureau of Standards, Atomic Energy Commission, Saline Waters, and NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics). The collection is constantly expanding to include additional agencies.
