A library of full-text content relating to all fields of engineering, science, and industrial safety.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is a division of the United States Department of Commerce. NIST has the responsibility to develop, maintain, and disseminate the official standards for a wide range of quantities, including length, mass, force and shock, acceleration, time and frequency, electricity, temperature, humidity, pressure and vacuum, liquid and gas flow, and electromagnetic, optical, acoustic, and ionizing radiation.

Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.

A database provided by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), full of chemical and bibliographic information that covers many scientific and biomedical fields, with an emphasis on chemistry. Click the more button below for information on registering an account to use the database.

Over 870,000 searchable records that cover 70 years of international scientific literature in physics, electrical engineering, and computer science from 1898-1968.

More than 34 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and eBooks, with some full-text linked.

With an OSU login, the Google Scholar interface allows users to search library holdings and peer-reviewed articles.

The Cambridge Structural Database is compiled and distributed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). The database provides access to structural chemistry data. Please see the following update from Cambridge Structural Database to update to the new 2023 version of CSD.

ChemDraw is a scientific productivity suite designed for anyone related to the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology. Users can draw chemical structures and reactions, as well as biological objects and pathways, and organize and search through multiple documents and collections of molecules. You will need to log in via OSU, which is explained in the “More...” tab below.
