CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics updated
The latest web version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is now online, including a new Structure searching feature. You can now search the handbook by chemical structure with a download-able Java Applet for drawing your structure query. Search over 10,000 compounds!
What else is new?
Now reflecting the content of the 90th print edition, the new web version adds tables covering 11 new topics:
Structures and functions of common drugs
Chemical constituents of human blood
Proton nmr shifts for solvents
Apparent Equilibrium Constants for Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions
Phase Transitions in the Solid Elements at Atmospheric Pressure
Thermoelectric Properties of Metals and Semiconductors
Thermophysical Properties of Stainless Steel 310
Description of the IUPAC chemical identifier (InChI)
International recommendations on the expression of uncertainty of measurements
Major world earthquakes, 850AD to 2008
Nobel prize winners in Physics and Chemistry
And some of the most heavily used tables have been extensively revised and updated:
Nuclear moments for nmr spectroscopy
Mass spectral peaks for organic solvents
Properties of refrigerants
Interstellar molecules
Aqueous Solubility and Henry's Law Constants of Organic Compounds
Properties of the Solar System
Satellites of the Planets
Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants
Speed of Sound in Dry Air

Welcome [Back]!
Hello all! Just wanted to say welcome back to returning students, and also welcome to Stevens to all the new students. Please feel free to stop by the library if you have any questions about library services and resources, or just to say hi!
The library is located across from the Howe Center, right next to the gym (we're the brick building behind the statue of the horse and rider in the middle of the quad).
This semester we will be debuting our new IM reference service (we'll let you know all the details in an upcoming post). Also, feel free to look up your Information Services Librarians, Linda Scanlon Beninghove and Valerie Forrestal, on Facebook and Myspace. You can send them your questions or concerns there too!
The Information Services Librarians are located across the great hall from the circulation desk. Stop by the reference desk all this month for a free SC Williams Library mechanical pencil!
Most of all, good luck in all your studies, and have a great year!

From the ResourseShelf... 2007 Global Calendars!
ResourceShelf, a lovely blog that aims to share useful, cool and often quirky resources found by researchers and librarians, has a great post listing lots and lots of calendars of upcoming events.
Among those listed are the global election calendar, world events calendar, international sports calendar, NASA space calendar and the global trade show calendar.
They update the list on a regular basis, so you may want to bookmark...
