The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) contains structural information on over 330,000 carbon containing molecules (<1000 atoms) and over 366,000 structures, including organics, compounds of main group elements, organometallics and metal complexes. There is a small overlap between the CSD and the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database, in the area of molecular inorganics. See also WebCSD.
Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: systematic and exhaustive coverage of reagents (both classical and new) used in organic chemistry. Can be searched by browsing through an A-Z list of reagent names, by entry author, or by structure/reaction. Entries include include information on physical data, structure, preparation, and safety.
Covers the North American geology from 1785+ and world geology from 1933+; includes references to U.S. Geological Survey publications, theses & doctoral dissertations, books, maps, reports, as well as literature from more than 3,500 journals
Searchable database of ~120,000 inorganic structures, including elements, compounds, minerals, and intermetallics. Display options include Unit Cell Visualization and Powder Patterns.
Provides fulltext access to IEEE transactions, journals, magazines since 1988 (with some content back to 1952), conference proceedings since 1988 (with some content back to 1952), IEEE Standards and IEE journals, letters, magazines, and conference proceedings since 1988. See their Self-paced Tutorials
1940+ mathematical reviews and summaries of journal articles and books; more info. For earlier material (1868-1930) see also Jahrbuch Project (in German and English)
Indexes MEDLINE, selected additional life sciences journals, and the NCBI Bookshelf. Coverage is generally 1946-present (based on MEDLINE), with selected coverage back to 1809. Entries include links to MeSH terms and other NCBI resources, including molecular structure, DNA sequence, and protein sequence databases, as well as to PMC and other OA sources where available. This custom link will also include CaltechConnect functionality to access full text or request via DocuServe.
Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions. It is based on Beilstein, Gmelin and an "Organic" Patent Database (US 1976+ and EP, WO 1978+)
Our new expanded subscription has access to over 40,000 titles, including books and videos, across areas including programming, data analysis, math, science, engineering, business and more. The video collection currently includes over 800 self-paced tutorials of varying duration (from 2 to over 98 hours). In order to use the new platform, you must register for an account using your @caltech.edu email address and log in each time you wish to use the platform. Although this is tedious, this should work seamlessly on- and off-campus (no VPN or proxy required), as well as with their mobile app [iOS/Android only -- not Kindle-compatible]. Please let us know if you encounter any difficulties or have any other feedback on this resource.

BioModels Database is a repository of mathematical models representing biological systems. It currently hosts a range of models describing processes like signaling, protein-drug interaction interactions, metabolic pathways, epidemic models, and many more. The models that BioModels hosts are usually described in peer-reviewed scientific literature. These models are manually curated and semantically enriched with cross-references to external data resources (such as publications, databases of compounds and pathways, ontologies, etc.).
Two major collections from the British Library which span three hundred years of newspaper publishing in the U.K.—17th and 18th Century Burney Collection Newspapers and 19th Century Newspapers
The CRSP US Stock Databases contain daily and monthly market and corporate action data for securities with primary listings on the NYSE, NYSE MKT, NASDAQ, and Arca exchanges and include CRSP broad market indexes. CRSP databases are characterized by their comprehensive corporate action information and highly accurate total return calculations.
