- Follow the directions at the link above to register using a Drew networked computer.
- Indexes all of Chemical Abstracts and Medline. (Use remove duplicates to get rid of Medline sources.)
- Search using natural language, molecular formula, or substance. Searches can be refined.
- Links to:
- citing and cited articles (Both are useful for finding related articles.)
- reactions
- substances
- Get full text links to our article linker to find electronic full text. If we don't have online full text, we might have the journal in print or microform. To find out, take citation information or DOI and go to the Electronic Journals link. Enter the Journal title or the DOI into the appropriate search box and proceed.
- If exporting citations to EndNote Web (see below) use tagged format .txt .
PubMed
- Indexes anything to do with medicine, so chemicals are often included.
- Export search results to EndNote Web (see below). (Use the MEDLINE display format.)
- Many ways to limit searches (age group, gender, language, type of study), but there is no structure, patent, or CAS number searching.
- Related documents are determined by number of repetitions of search words.
- Offers some free content, but does NOT work with the Drew article linker. To find out if Drew has access to a journal, enter the PMID in the appropriate box on the Electronic Journals page.
- Search help: (these are meant to be two sided trifolds, so you will have to figure out how to read them.)

- Searching with MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) http://nnlm.gov/training/resources/meshtri.pdf
Science Direct
- Full text access to 97+ chemistry journals (the green square next to a title indicates online full text access.)many journals in all areas of the sciences, social sciences, and math/computer science
- For best results
- Use advanced search (you have to hunt for it--look for tiny print all the way to the right of the page.)
- Click into Journal search for more features (and to turn off the Books feature--we don't get any books through this vendor).
- Use the dropdown to specify that search terms must appear in Abstract, Title, Keywords to focus the search
