About Beilstein

Subject The Beilstein database contains information on approximately 7 million organic substances. Records in the database include structures, data on chemical and physical properties such as melting point, boiling point and spectral identification, and over 5 million reactions, as well as references to the chemical literature published from 1779 to date.

Note: available only via client software, not via the web. Software is available on several workstations on Level 1 of Olin Library and in the Chemistry Library. It is also available for download, both Windows and Macintosh versions, from http://minerva.library.wisc.edu/.
