Quest Tips

By Title or Author
On the Basic Search screen, choose "Title beginning with ..." to locate a specific work or, choose "Author beginning with ..." to find books written by a particular chemist.

Searching by Subject
On the Basic Search screen, choose "Subject heading beginning with ...", then type in the Browse box: chemistry
(or, more specialized terms, such as: chemical kinetics; metathesis; organic compounds; porphyrins).

Alternatively, if you are looking for materials on a more specific topic in chemistry, use the Keyword search box:
To find material on metals and enzymes, type: metal* and enzym*
(The "*" is a truncation symbol that will retrieve various forms of each word: metal, metals, metallic, enzyme, enzymes, enzymatic)
