Places to Start


American Chemical Society
ChemCenter, the Web site of the American Chemical Society, provides numerous resources to the Internet community. There are online publications, conference notices, links to other chemistry resources, an education center, and professional services to ACS members. There is also an electronic shopping center to allow online purchase of ACS books, journals, videos, science teaching materials and other chemistry-related products.
