Chemistry Collection
The University's core collection in chemistry is located in the Chemistry Library, which is housed on the fifth floor of the Chemistry Department building at 231 S. 34th Street. The collection includes over 200 current journal subscriptions and has full runs of most of the English-language core journals in chemistry. The monographs provide a good working collection for the Chemistry Department's primary research interests, and the monograph collection is especially strong in organic synthesis and natural products chemistry. Materials that support the study of chemistry are also found in other locations across campus, as is indicated below.
Overview
The Chemistry collection supports active research in Penn's Chemistry Department and is not a historic collection; therefore, the major thrusts of the collection may change slightly over time as the research program evolves. In general, however, we collect in the broad areas of organic, inorganic, physical, theoretical, and biological chemistry, with additional material that supports important analytical techniques used by our researchers.
