Chemistry Research Aids: Books

To identify books in Reese Library use GIL-Find.

• When you open the catalog, use the drop-down menu to choose the 'subject' button, then enter the terms you are searching for, like "Hydrogen" or "Inorganic Chemistry."
• You may see more than one Suggested Topic within your search. Click on the various topic headings to see the books available in those specific areas.
• You may also try a keyword search (click new search, then keyword and fill in the search boxes with your terms.) To get the most out of keyword searching, remember:
  • use one word or phrase per box to represent each concept you're searching.
  • Use the pull-down box to search two or more words as a phrase.
  • When you find results you like, click on the title, then look at the subject headings to find ‘more like this.’
  • Use * to truncate—example child* will pick up child, child’s, children.

• When you find something you might want to use:
•    Pay attention to location, call number and status so you can find the item..
•    Electronic items have a link at the bottom of the record to access the content. 

If you've found a book or book chapter reference in a database, Use GIL-Find to find out if Augusta University has that book.
