7.2 What chemistry-related material is on the WWW?
Searching
There are several well-known search engines available on the WWW that will
provide updated searches for keywords. Because of the huge expansion of the
WWW, I've decided to select some sites and allow users to use search
engines and/or web crawlers to locate resources. If you find a real
treasure house of chemical goodies, email me the address and I'll check it
out. It is important to realise that many of the WWW search engines are
complementary, and so it is useful to utilise several when trying to locate
information on the web - good places to start are directories of various
WWW search engines.

Free search engines include:-
http://altavista.digital.com/ Alta Vista http://www.google.com/ Google http://www.lycos.com/ Lycos http://www.yahoo.com/ Yahoo http://infoseek.go.com/ Infoseek http://www.excite.com/ Excite http://www.webcrawler.com/ Webcrawler
Chemistry Overview sites
http://chemfinder.camsoft.com/
The fastest and best way to discover information about chemicals on
the WWW is CambridgeSoft Corporation's Chemfinder free searching
server. This has to be one of the most convenient ways to obtain
chemical information on the Internet. Highly recommended.

The Royal Society of Chemistry maintains an excellent list of sites
containing chemistry-related material, and is a good starting point.
http://www.chemcenter.org/
This is the new WWW site from the American Chemical Society, and
is intended to be their prime location of chemical information.
Other very useful sites include;-
http://www.chemdex.org/
