Fall 2020 Librarian Support

For Research Consultations, Reference Assistance, and Ebook Purchase Recommendations for Fall 2020.

Off-Campus Access to Journals, Ebooks, and Databases:  Use AnyConnect VPN. When logging in, select the 2 Step Secured - althruucsd option (click to see an example). Duo two-step login also required. 

  • I can also help with VPN/remote access troubleshooting.
  • On campus? Use the UCSD-Protected wifi network.

Here are some resources I have put together to help you track down chemical prices. You may find the price on a chemical supplier's website or through SciFinder's database of chemical catalogs, or through a full text search of one of our databases that covers newspapers and trade magazines like ICIS Chemical Business or Chemical Week. 

For more resources on chemistry or chemical engineering, consult those research guides.

  • SciFinder, eMolecules or Google for companies like Sigma-Aldrich 
  • Searching for prices of chemical or materials can be challenging, particularly if you're looking for bulk chemical prices rather than the smaller amounts that are typically quoted in chemical catalogs. While some may include bulk pricing on their websites or through SciFinder, most companies will ask that you contact them directly for a quote.;
