BEILSTEIN TODAY
Today, "Beilstein" represents the Handbook, Beilstein Online, CrossFire, CrossFire plus
Reactions, and CrossFire Gmelin, Autonom, Current Facts, and more.
BEILSTEIN NEWS
2007 Elsevier acquired Beilstein database from frankfurt-based Beilstein Institute (Full Ownership)
1st major open access chemistry journal – Beilstein J. of Organic Chemistry
BEILSTEIN SEARCH NOTE Only about 50% of the compounds have CAS
Registry Numbers
Name searching is unreliable since Beilstein has relatively few synonyms
Only sure search is a “Structure Search”
GMELIN- 1817 (3 vols.) Handbuch der Theoretischen
Chemie (Leopold Gmelin)

BEILSTEIN USER STATISTICS AT GSU
BEILSTEIN VS. CHEMICAL ABSTRACTSBeilstein
1. Beilstein covers primarily the chemical literature focused on organic chemistry dating back as far as 1771
2. Beilstein covers the chemical literature in which scientific data is presented, providing all the data presented in each published article as given by the original authors.
3. Even though Beilstein has covered "classical" chemistry for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, as it moves into the 21st century it has responded to the needs of the chemical community and expanded its coverage of the literature to include toxicological and physiological effects of chemicals.
Chemical Abstracts (CA) 1. CA covers virtually all of the chemical
literature - organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, polymer, materials part of the ACS back to1907
2. CA covers the literature primarily from a very different and valuable perspective by providing an abstract and a summary that is a synopsis of each article.

ENDNOTEYes - When you open the Output tool, select "Literature Management Systems" and then import your hits or range of hits into EndNote or other bibliographic management software.
HOW TO SEARCH?
By structure, sub-structure
(note - can generate structure from name!) By numerical values of properties By text, author(s) e.g., Bibliographic information Advanced searching for entering complex
property/combination queries following the general rule "<field code> <operator> <field value(s)>"
ALERTS Need to register (Free) and then you can
create alerts for your searches as well as customize your settings (e.g., colors of structure and text, hits per page, and searching options).
HISTORY SETS
History sets can be combined using AND, OR, NOT Boolean Operators.
