Polymer Chemistry is a new peer-reviewed journal publishing advances in polymer chemistry encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas. Polymer Chemistry will provide a showcase for the ongoing efforts driving polymer chemistry, highlighting the creativity of the field and previously inaccessible applications. – Publisher’s blurb.

The 26th ed. (2009) of the American Men and Women of Science profiles living persons in the physical and biological fields, as well as public health scientists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists.

Analytical Methods is a new monthly peer-reviewed journal communicating research on the advancement of analytical techniques for use by the wider scientific community. The journal will offer the advantage of bringing authors’ work to a wide international audience.  – Publisher’s blurb.

Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions. It is built to support chemists in their daily work with focused and relevant information in chemistry.

Reaxys is the merger of the three prestigious CrossFire databases: CrossFire Beilstein, CrossFire Gmelin and Patent Chemistry Database which puts all the relevant data at the user’s fingertips. A search across the Reaxys database delivers a single results set and each record provides details excerpted from multiple patent or journal sources.    Reaxys contains an extensive repository of experimentally validated data that chemists need including structures, reactions (including multi-step reactions) and physical properties. – Publisher’s blurb.

Northwestern University now has expanded access to portion of Web of Science.   The Science Citation Index has now been expanded to include coverage from 1945-154 (bringing coverage to 1945 to the present).  The coverage of the Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science has been expanded to include backfiles for 1990-2000.

Northwestern University now has access to all the title in the Elsevier ScienceDirect backfile package – Physical and Analytical Chemistry.   Access to the individual title is available through the Library’s ER, and will shortly be in NUcat.   Titles can also be accessed directly at ScienceDirect from campus computers.

The titles and coverage are:

The journal publishes both theoretical and applied articles devoted to the operational properties of glues, sealing materials, binding agents, and compounds; modern technologies of gluing and sealing; equipment and facilities used in various manufactures; methods of laboratory, development, and service testing. – Publisher’s blurb.

Nature Chemistry is a monthly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of chemistry. As well as reflecting the traditional core subjects of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, the journal also features a broad range of chemical research including, but not limited to, catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, environmental chemistry, green chemistry, medicinal chemistry, nuclear chemistry, polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and surface chemistry. – Publisher’s blurb.

This handbook provides the first-ever inside view of today’s integrated approach to rational drug design. Chemoinformatics experts from large pharmaceutical companies, as well as from chemoinformatics service providers and from academia demonstrate what can be achieved today by harnessing the power of computational methods for the drug discovery process. – Publisher’s blurb.

The European Journal of Human Genetics is the official Journal of the European Society of Human Genetics.  The journal covers molecular, clinical and cytogenetics, interfacing between advanced biomedical research and the clinician, and bridging the great diversity of facilities, resources and viewpoints in the genetics community. – Publisher’s blurb.
