Featured
Explore, search and view more than 28,000 binary and ternary phase diagrams and associated phase and crystal data for more than 6200 systems.
Featured
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.
Mirroring the growth and direction of science for nearly a century, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, continues to be the most accessed and respected scientific reference in the world, used by students and Nobel Laureates.
DIPPR is a web-based compilation of experimental physical and thermodynamic property data for over 1,800 pure chemicals. (Contact us for the password. Access only granted to Caltech faculty, students and staff. )
Engineering Source offers more than 3000 full text titles in engineering, computer science and related areas.
Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions. Set Caltech Library as the library access link. Under settings, look for library links, and search for "California Institute of Technology - Get It @ Caltech."
Freely accessible research database focusing on the relationship between human beings and the environment, with well-researched but accessible information on topics ranging from global warming to recycling to alternate fuel sources and beyond.
Index and abstracts 1898-1968 produced by Institute of Electrical Engineers; includes physics, astrophysics, computer science, electrical engineering and information technology.
International Tables for Crystallography is the definitive resource and reference work for crystallography and structural science. The online version of International Tables for Crystallography provides access to a fully interactive symmetry database and all nine volumes in the series in pdf and richly linked html format.
Featured
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)
A nationwide network of precipitation monitoring sites. The network is a cooperative effort between many different groups, including the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and numerous other governmental and private entities.
Featured
Access to over 40,000 titles, books, and videos across areas including programming, data analysis, math, science, engineering, business, arts, psychology, economics, political science, history, 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, log-in using your @caltech.edu email address, select SSO, and then you will be asked to log-in with access.caltech credentials. 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.
Featured
Information on using the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) SciFinder Discovery Platform at Caltech, which includes SciFinder-n, Analytical Methods, and Formulus. SciFinder-n is the interface to the CAS Content Collection, including Registry, References, Patents, Reactions, Commercial Sources, and Formulations. Please note: you cannot use a login/password from a previous institution. You must register for a new account with your @caltech.edu email address.
