The Kline Science Library is located at the center of Yale's scientific community, convenient to both its clientele and to the other science libraries: Chemistry, Geology, Forestry, Mathematics, and Engineering. There is little duplication of materials among the science libraries. The Kline Library collects materials in the areas of general science, biology, chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, and molecular biophysics and biochemistry.
Kline Library provides access to many electronic journal index databases; some are available only to those affiliated with Yale, based on licensing provisions and YUL privileges. Sample databases include Science Citation Index which allows for sophisticated searching based on cited journal articles, Biosis (Biological Abstracts), and the Sigma-Aldrich Material Safety Data Sheets. The Current Contents database, which indexes journal articles within one or two weeks of receipt at the Library, is also available. The science reference librarian can search hundreds of other scientific databases for a fee.
