You will often begin
your search for information with a popular or commercial name of a
substance. When using these indexes, be prepared to try other synonyms
to locate a particular substance.

Also consider searching the following databases for information:
- ACD Name - ACD/Name Freeware generates accurate systematic names
according to IUPAC recommendations on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry for almost any organic structure with up to 50 atoms. (You can draw
over 70% of all known organic compounds and more than 1012 of those compounds which have not yet been synthesized!) You will need to download
this software onto your machine. A copy is loaded on Workstation 6 in the Chemistry Library.
- ChemDraw Ultra and Chem3D Ultra - chemical drawing programs, providing chemical
drawing and molecular modeling. A copy is loaded on the Workstation closest to the door in the Chemistry Library.
- SciFinder Scholar - Chemical Abstracts
via SciFinder Scholar at selected workstations in the Chemistry Library, Kline Science Library, and Engineering & Applied Science Library.
