Caltech Library System Workshop: "Reaxys"

Thursday, June 28, 2012

2:00pm to 3:00pm

Sherman Fairchild Library 328 (Multimedia Conference Room)

The new combined web interface to Beilstein, Gmelin and Elseviers Patent Chemistry database.

Beilstein is based on Beilsteins Handbuch der Organischen Chemie (1771-1980) and selected organic chemistry journal articles beginning in 1981. Gmelin is based on Gmelins Handbuch der Anorganischen Chemie (1771-1994) and selected inorganic/organometallic chemistry journal articles since 1995. The Patent Chemistry Database is limited to English-language US(1976+), WO(1978+) & EP(1978+) patents, with "organic chemistry" IPC codes:

Reaxys content and format coverage (journal articles & patents) will be reviewed and search techniques for topics, chemical substances and reactions will be displayed. We will also briefly compare and contrast Reaxys with other important databases: Combined Chemical Dictionary, SciFinder, Web of Science, and PubMed.

An extensive description of the Reaxys database is available: http://library.caltech.edu/learning/classhandouts/Reaxys2010.pdf
