Many important chemistry resources are still available only in paper. Look for these important books in the Library's reference collection on the first floor of the Library. Most books located on the second floor can be checked out. Use Skyline to locate publications that Auraria Library might own from the American Chemical Society, U.S. government publications and other materials. This is a very selective list of resources.
