Chemical safety data information resources

UC San Diego & UC Safety Resources

This guide covers information resources--including freely available and library-licensed databases, journals, handbooks, and websites--related to chemical and laboratory safety.

Please consult UC San Diego's Department of Environment, Health & Safety website for official information about UC San Diego's safety policies, procedures, and training, as well as guidelines set forth in your labs and research groups. See also: Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

VPN for Off-Campus Access

The Library licenses thousands of electronic resources, including databases, ebooks, and journals. Many of these resources are only available to UC San Diego students, faculty, and staff due to license agreements.

If you are located off-campus, you must use the AnyConnect VPN client to access these. Instructions for downloading are below.

  • When connecting via VPN, select 2-step secured althruucsd option from the group menu. VPN also requires DUO 2-step authentication each time

Setting up VPN helps identify you as a member of the UC San Diego community, so you can use these resources rather than being prompted to login or pay for content. If you need help connecting from off-campus, follow our instructions and troubleshooting tips!
