Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Edition
Chichester; Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, c2005. 10 Volume Set
Swain Reference QD148 .E53 2005
Inorganic chemistry covers a variety of diverse substances, including not only molecular, coordination, organometallic and non-molecular compounds, but also special materials such as metallobiomolecules, semiconductors, superconductors, nanomaterials, ceramics, and minerals. The great diversity of inorganic compounds makes them vitally important as industrial feedstocks, fine chemicals, catalysts, and advanced materials. Inorganic chemistry also plays a key role in life processes through the action of metalloenzymes and because of the importance of metals in protein and nucleic acid structure. It is anticipated that the second edition of this work will not only be a lasting source of information but also a stimulus for many new discoveries.
Based in the United Kingdom, the IChemE is the hub for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

Swain Library monthly new book list
The Royal Society Digital Archive is easily the most comprehensive archive in science and contains some of the most significant scientific papers ever published. The development of the digital archive means that the Society’s online collection now contains every paper ever published in the Royal Society’s journals — from the very first peer-reviewed paper in Philosophical Transactions — to the most recent interdisciplinary article in Interface.
Seminal research papers include accounts of Michael Faraday’s groundbreaking series of electrical experiments, Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope and the first research paper published by Stephen Hawking. The Archive provides a record of some key scientific discoveries from the last 340 years including: Halley’s description of ‘his comet’ in 1705; details of the double Helix of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1954; and Edmond Stone’s breakthrough in 1763 that willow bark cured fevers, leading to the discovery of salicylic acid and later the development of aspirin. It also contains papers documenting the discovery of new planets, the first descriptions of organisms through a microscope, and the first account of photography. Early papers contain fascinating descriptions of how Captain James Cook preserved the health of his crew aboard the HMS Endeavour and the astonishment of 18th century Society at the performance of an eight year-old Mozart.
Some of the more obscure papers explore rudimentary prototypes of modern day technology: trials proposed by Robert Boyle in 1665 hypothesize on the possibilities of blood transfusions, pondering ‘whether a fierce dog stocked with the blood of a cowardly dog may not become more tame?’, whilst a forerunner for ventilators was discussed in a paper by Robert Hooke in 1667 entitled ‘An account of an experiment made by Mr Hook (sic), of preserving animals alive by blowing through their lungs with bellows.’
The complete Digital Archive consists of three sections: Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Notes & Records. Below are individual journals available in each section.
The Physical Sciences Digital Journal Archive
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical & Engineering Sciences and all previous forms:
and
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical & Engineering Sciences and all previous forms:
The Biological Sciences Digital Journal Archive
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences and all previous forms:
and
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences and all previous forms:
The Notes and Records Digital Journal Archive
Notes & Records is the Royal Society’s journal on the history of science published since 1938. Each issue highlights fascinating examples of science shaping our lives, revealing reminiscences and discoveries, and authoritative book reviews. Notes & Records is a visible part of the Royal Society’s commitment to the history of science. Published in January, May and September each year, it is required reading for historians, researchers and anyone interested in science and its path through history.
The Biographical Memoirs Digital Archive
The Royal Society first published obituaries of its Fellows in 1830, in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Initially obituaries were read at the Anniversary meeting, often by the President himself, and were printed in the record of that meeting. From 1859 they appeared in a separate section at the back. Articles were anonymous until the 1880s. The first image to accompany an obituary was that of Franz Cornelius Donders. Their usage grew significantly from the 1920s. In 1905, Proceedings split into two disciplines, Series A and B. Occasionally a subject had an obituary in both series. From 1932 obituaries of nearly every deceased Fellow and Foreign Member have appeared here.

Springer has pioneered the largest compilation of electronic books, and offer users unlimited, perpetual access, from anywhere around the globe. Currently, there are about 20,000 eBooks, with approximately 3,000 new Springer titles to be added every year.
Springer allows unlimited simultaneous access to eBooks. Once a library purchases Springer’s eBook Collection, they own the book content of the purchased copyright year for their use in perpetuity. The eBooks’ PDF and HTML documents are fully searchable and can be downloaded and printed. Springer’s online platform, SpringerLink, now integrates Springer eBooks with millions of articles from Springer’s peer-reviewed journals and eBook Series.
Stanford has purchased all of Springer ebooks that were published in 2005-2007. These books are also available via MyiLibrary.
Science Classic is the newly digitized fulltext archive of Science that covers 1880–1996. Issues were scanned cover-to-cover and high resolution PDFs created. Full text-searchable, Science Classic is fully integrated with Science Online. All bibliographic citations, abstracts, and references are available in HTML. References are linked to full-text and to databases.
Springer Online Archives Collection of Journals
Springer has digitized over 800 journals and has made them available in eleven online subject packages (Stanford has now purchased all of them):
Springer Online Journal Archives are those journal articles published prior to 1996. Journals may be assigned to more than one package. Exclusions: journals not presently online, not copyrighted, have none of their content in English, or journals discontinued prior to 1995.
Knovel Library and Knovel Plastics
In one interface, the Knovel Library combines authoritative reference content from major sci-tech publishers, including John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill and Elsevier. This data is enhanced with time-saving analytical tools to help analyze and manipulate the data.
Users can analyze and reorganize the data in over 800 full-text engineering and scientific reference works, handbooks, and databases. They can sort, filter and export data from ‘live tables’, resolve equations and plot graphs, capture values from existing graphs and perform ‘what if’ experiments on the data.
Knovel’s uniquely powerful research platform integrates a intuitive yet powerful search engine with a user friendly browse capability to allow the user to discover data in ways which are close to real information seeking behavior. We deliver better results and the ability to work more productively with those results for better decisions.
Resources for Chemical Educators
“A selective, annotated collection of the best Web links for Chemistry teachers and course developers.”
“Stanford Engineering’s nine departments form the core of the school. They are the intellectual home bases for faculty and students alike. We decided this month to celebrate the departments with a puzzle about them and we imagined an essential icon for each one.”
