The School of Chemistry's library is located in the East Wing of the Chemistry Building on the University's Parkville campus. A map of the locations of the University's library branches is available.  The library is a branch of the University's main library, which is a part of the University's Information Division.

The library has many useful tools including links to data sources, such as finding properties of materials, including the density, melting point or toxicity of a compound. A list of these data sources is available.

The library staff, Kathryn Saxton and Zdena Schwangmeier, are available to support you in your studies, teaching and research. They endeavour to maintain journal and book collections relevant and adequate to the teaching and research interests of the School of Chemistry staff and students. They also provide access to the most essential research databases.
