In this course, you will be finding information to support your independent projects.  Use this guide as a starting point for search strategies, key resources, evaluating sources, and how to cite your sources.  Please email me to schedule research appointments as needed.

Additional information for thermodynamic property data can be found on the Chem 366 course guide. 

1.  Browse Advances in Chemical Physics series (print)

2.  Browse physical chemistry journals (electronic) such as:

• Journal of Physical Chemistry A, B, and/or C
• Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP)

3.  Browse materials on Reserve at Schow

4.  Search the library catalog and browse table of contents for books:

• Keyword:  physical and chemistry and experiment*
• Keyword:  physical and chemistry and laborator
