Chemical Abstracts (CA) is the most comprehensive and well-indexed finding aid to the chemical literature. Linda Hall Library has CA in print from its inception through 2009, when the print version was discontinued. Research Specialists can help you search the chemical literature using this resource.
If you need to search the chemical literature after 2009, try the other resources on this page. If that is not sufficient, ask a Research Specialist about mediated access to the online version.
These databases are provided by a variety of outside agencies and companies.
