Welcome to the Chemistry Research Guide!
Here at RCBC we believe in guaranteeing easily accessible, affordable content to benefit the learning experience of our students, enriching them academically, and professionally, in their chosen career path.
Think of a Lib Guide as a digital filing cabinet, full of tools that can do everything from enhance supplementary instruction to provide relevant, topical resources that will benefit a student’s prospective job hunt and professional development well beyond the classroom.
Lib Guides are part of a grant-funded RCBC initiative pertaining to freely available Open Educational Resources (OERs), which aim to change higher education into a comprehensive and diverse experience that works to serve students and ensure success is always within their reach.
The RCBC library’s Chemistry OERs highlight for your consumption a list of professional organizations for likeminded people in chemistry-based professions, a list of free, downloadable textbooks for chemistry majors, and interesting, topical videos for your enjoyment such as “the Science of Scent” and “25 Chemistry Experiments in 15 Minutes”.
