Chemistry books may be found at the Lockwood Library on North Campus. They are arranged by call number. Look for the letters QD on the spine of the book. The QD section of books are located on Lockwood 3. These books may be borrowed from the library. 

Additionally, we have a collection of reference books. The reference books for Science & Engineering are located on Lockwood 1, also found by looking for the call number QD.  These books must stay at the library, but you are welcome to use them whenever the library is open. 

If you need additional assistance, please visit our Reference Desk on Lockwood 2 or, if that is closed, use the UB Libraries' chat service.

Review Journals

Review Journals provide articles that summarize current research and are a great introduction to a new topic. In Chemistry, try the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry; Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry; or Annual Review of Biochemistry. 

• ACS Chemical Reviews 

  The mission of Chemical Reviews is to provide comprehensive, authoritative, critical, and readable reviews of important recent research in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, theoretical, and biological chemistry. In addition to the general reviews, the journal has published since 1985 periodic thematic issues focusing on a single theme or direction of emerging research.
