What is the easiest and cheapest way to search the "Chemical Literature" nowadays for a private person living a distance from an Univertsity Library.
In the beginning of eighties We looked up manually in books.
If someone don't want to broadcast on "The Internet" my E-mail adress is alkemist_111@hotmail.com

look at Rhodium's links page, there are a couple leads there to online searches, including some nice patents and possibly you could get a hold of beilstein????

Chemical information technology and management is a field in itself. There are both undergrad and graduate courses available detailing it, not to mention its own journal publications, and new book titles devoted to it every year. ------------------ Ipsa scientia potestas est Ipsa scientia potestas est

Yes I have look at the websites.
But it is newer literature from the last decades. For home chemistry or clandestine chemistry older literature is more usefull
(ninetieth century).

Definately, the best way I've found is the electronic databases. Beilstein crossfire, if you can get it, kicks ass. Likewise, Medline, a number of scientific databases provided through OVID, esp. Current Contents, are good. Chemical Abstracts' electronic version is nice, but DAMN its spendy.
Also, another nice source is literary reviews: there are some great books out there covering things like enolate chemistry, Grignard reagents, halogenations, hydrogenations, organic electrochemistry: you name it. These are quite nice, since they usually have a nice technical intro to various topics, plus a typically robust bibliography.

Before I forget, "LaRock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations", price not withstanding, should be on every organic chemists bookshelf. It is a massive work, listing references for thousands of different organic transformations with thousands of different reagents.
