Physics E-Resources Online Guide
- Finding articles - Databases
are useful to identify articles in journals, papers in conference
proceedings, chapters in books, reports and reviews. This are also
known as Index and Abstract. It will provide citations (the source
of the article), abstracts (brief descriptions of the article’s
content) or full text articles (the article in its entirety). Review
articles from databases summarize the current state of research
on a subject by organizing, synthesizing, and critically evaluating
the relevant literature written for specialists. The bibliography
in a review article is usually exhaustive.
- Spectral database - consists
of spectra and spectra data for a wide range of compound classes on
IR, UV-IR, Mass, X-ray, NMR, etc. Able to track a compound by their
chemical name, molecular formula or CAS registry number. Allows you
to examine and compare your experimental spectrum with those found
in the collection. Excellent tool for any researcher responsible for
determinations of materials.
- Encyclopedias & Dictionaries
and Handbooks are a collection of informational articles on any
given subject.
- Handbooks provide find formulae, definitions
and or often used as a starting point when researching an unfamiliar
field.
