Chemistry
Chemistry books and textbooks are located the Physics Divisional Library at the North Campus. We also offer you access to electronic journals and specialist databases - from home via eduVPN.
Latest News
The FID Chemie has negotiated single-user licenses for the database “Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations.” Researchers can register for a single-user license at https://www.fid-chemie.de/de/lizenzen and use the access for one year.
Catalogues
You can find books, journals, databases and a large number of articles from journals in our discovery system GöDiscovery - both from the holdings of the SUB Göttingen and the departmental libraries. By default, the local holdings are searched; the search area can be expanded via the settings to a "global" search which includes external sources.
In the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) you will only find the local holdings.
Books: print and digital
E-books in general
Chemistry e-books (textbooks and reference books) in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) or GöDiscovery.
If you cannot find the e-book you are looking for, you are welcome to send us a purchase suggestion.
Textbooks
The chemistry textbooks are located in the textbook collection of the Physics Divisional Library.
Please search via the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) or GöDiscovery.
Shelving in the BBP
Some chemistry books and books on related subjects are freely accessible in the Physics Divisional Library (BBP).
They are listed systematically in class "S" according to the Göttingen Online Classification (GOK).
Books in the stacks
The majority of chemistry books are located in the stacks of the Central Library.
Books from all subject areas can be ordered directly from the stacks to the Physics Divisional Library via the choice of the pick-up location in the catalogues.
Book not available?
If you cannot find a title, you can order the book via interlibrary loan or send us a purchase suggestion for an e-book or a print title.
Journals
Chemistry journals are available digitally. You can find e- and print editions in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The Electronic Journals Library (EZB) provides an overview sorted by subject and uses color symbols to indicate access to the full text. Please activate eduVPN for the remote access to all electronic media.
Databases
Databases can be found in the Database Information System (DBIS), organized by subject. The licensed fee-based databases can also be found in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The free databases can only be found in DBIS. Data resources of various types are listed, in particular subject bibliographies that list articles, as well as full-text databases that contain articles from electronic journals.
CAS SciFinder includes chemical, medical, biological and natural science information from global collections of journals, patents and other relevant literature intellectually curated by CAS scientists. CAS SciFinder enables scientists to answer their questions about reactions, sequences, established and novel substances, SAR data and allows a comprehensive state-of-the-art search.

RÖMPP Online is the most comprehensive and renowned encyclopedia on chemistry and related sciences in the German language. The reference work offers over 65,000 keywords as well as more than 250,000 cross-references and over 19,000 structural formulas and graphics on six subject areas.
Open Science
Publishing
We have concluded Read & Publish agreements with the most important publishers. Further information: Publishing agreements.
Our publication funds are available for scientific articles in Gold Open Access journals and books.
Our service for publishing dissertation is eDISS.
You can also file scientific data sets with GRO.publications.
Research data (eRA)
The Göttingen eRA (eResearch Alliance) supports you in research data management.
Central eResearch Services:
Exchange
Scientists and librarians meet quarterly for the Open Science Göttingen Meet-up. You are very welcome to participate!
During the semester, we also regularly host the Hacky Hour, where we discuss computational tools and code that can improve your science.
In our Carpentry courses, we teach techniques for research data management.
Societies and National Research Data Infrastructure for Chemistry
- The German Chemical Society promotes the exchange of knowledge in chemistry with conferences, events and publications.
- The European Chemical Society (EuChemS) is an association of European chemical societies. The 1970 EuChemS thus represents over 130,000 chemists from 50 specialist societies in Europe.
- The vision of NFDI4Chem is to provide a sustainable infrastructure for research data management by applying digitisation principles to all key steps of research in chemistry.
- NFDI4Cat: NFDI for sciences related to catalysis
Training and Consultation hours
We are happy to train you in literature research, literature management and open science. Please feel free to contact me. I offer a consultation hour on Wednesdays. For more information about the courses offered by the SUB Göttingen, please visit the Courses page.
