The George M. Bevier Science & Engineering Library is the primary location for resources in biological sciences, chemistry, engineering, geology and environmental science, neuroscience, physics and astronomy, mathematics, and statistics. We support the Swanson School of Engineering, the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geology and Environmental Science, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Physics and Astronomy, and Statistics. 

We now provide resources and services to support teaching and research in chemistry and related chemical sciences! Our collection includes print and electronic resources, books, journals, and databases such as SciFinder and Reaxys. We specialize in subjects including analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, chemical synthesis, materials and nanoscience, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and more.
