About the Science Libraries
The Kenan Science Library is on the ground floor of Venable Hall. See our library page for locations and hours.
Safety and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
-
UNC Chemical Safety InformationChemical Safety works to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control personnel exposures to chemical hazards.
MSDS Sources to Start With
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) contain information on chemicals and their properties along with health, physical, and environmental hazards. As they are provided by manufacturers, there is no centralized location so you may have to look in multiple places. Begin with the sources listed:
-
MSDS plus CHEMINFOA comprehensive collection of over 200,000 Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals and commercial products.
The Chemical Literature

-
SciFinder
- Information from the Chemical Abstracts Service databases
- Tool for chemists, contains information on chemical reactions, substances and references
- Information on organic and inorganic substances and sequences
- Broad range of scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, and agricultural science

REAXYS
- A search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data, and chemical reactions in organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry
- Site interface allows search for chemicals by keyword and provides in depth detail for results
- Reaxys integrates content from three major data sources: Beilstein, Gmelin, and the Chemical Patent Database
-
Google ScholarEnables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.
-
ScopusA large citation and abstracting database providing comprehensive coverage of the peer-reviewed journal and conference literature, with links to full-text where available through the library; includes scientific, technical, medical, social science and arts and humanities disciplines and indexes over 20,500 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers including over 340 book series. Like Web of Science, Scopus allows researchers to perform citation searches to see how many times a work has been cited, by whom, and to rank searches by times cited, for the period 1996 -present, as well as its curated index of over 375 scientific web pages and over 24 million patents.
