The latest web version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is now online!

What’s new?

Now reflecting the content of the 90th print edition, the new web version adds tables covering 11 new topics:
• Structures and functions of common drugs
• Chemical constituents of human blood
• Proton nmr shifts for solvents
• Apparent Equilibrium Constants for Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions
• Phase Transitions in the Solid Elements at Atmospheric Pressure
• Thermoelectric Properties of Metals and Semiconductors
• Thermophysical Properties of Stainless Steel 310
• Description of the IUPAC chemical identifier (InChI)
• International recommendations on the expression of uncertainty of measurements
• Major world earthquakes, 850AD to 2008
• Nobel prize winners in Physics and Chemistry

And some of the most heavily used tables have been extensively revised and updated:
• Nuclear moments for nmr spectroscopy
• Mass spectral peaks for organic solvents
• Properties of refrigerants
• Interstellar molecules
• Aqueous Solubility and Henry’s Law Constants of Organic Compounds
• Properties of the Solar System
• Satellites of the Planets
• Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants
• Speed of Sound in Dry Air

Complete the 2009 Library Survey now!

The library wants to know what you think about our services and how you use them. Do you love e-books or want more books on the shelves? Is it easy to find what you want? Is the library too noisy or too quiet?

Tell us what you think by completing our survey – it only takes five minutes of your time and you could win one of three £50 Amazon vouchers in our prize draw!

Take the survey now at www.imperial.ac.uk/library/survey.

The survey closes on Monday 30 November so don’t wait too long!

We’ll be publishing the results of the survey in early 2010 and what you say will help inform us how we can improve services for you.

Paper copies of the survey are available on request.
