Chemical Abstracts is a database that provides bibliographic information and summaries of recently published scientific documents, including over 8,000 journals and technical reports in 50 languages. It contains information on over 130 million organic and inorganic substances as well as 64 million protein and nucleic acid sequences obtained from other databases. There are several types of chemical databases, including literature databases that link chemical information to references; chemical structure databases that digitally represent molecular structures for computational use and search; and patent databases that provide information on technical solutions and competitors' activities disclosed in patents. Databases allow researchers to search for and locate academic works and information on particular topics.

2. Chemical Abstracts[1]
chemical Abstracts is a periodical index that provides
summaries and indexes of disclosures in recently
published scientific documents.
It contained Approximately 8,000 journals, technical
reports, dissertations, conference proceedings, and
new books, in any of 50 languages, are monitored
yearly, as are patent specifications from 27 countries
and two international organizations.

3. CA consists of bibliographic information and
abstracts for all articles in chemical journals
worldwide, and chemistry-related articles from
all scientific journals, patents, and other
scientific publications .

4. It contains information on more than 130 million
organic and inorganic substances, and more than 64
million protein and Nucleic acid sequences. The
sequence information comes from CAS and GenBank,
produced by the National Institutes of Health. The
chemical information is produced by CAS, and is
prepared by the CAS Registry System, which
identifies each compound with a specific CAS registry
number, index name, and graphic representation of its
chemical structure

5. Types of chemical databases[1]
• Literature database
• Chemical structures database
• Crystallographic database
• NMR spectra database
• Reactions database
• Thermophysical database

6. Types of chemical databases
• Literature database[1]
Chemical literature databases correlate
structures or other chemical information to
relevant references such as academic papers or
patents. This type of database
includes STN, Scifinder, and Reaxys. Links to
literature are also included in many databases
that focus on chemical characterization.

7. • Chemical structures database [1]
Chemical structures are traditionally
represented using lines indicating chemical
bonds between atoms and drawn on paper.
While these are ideal visual representations for
the chemist, they are unsuitable for
computational use and especially
for search and storage.

8. Databases
• a database is a organised collection of data for
one or more purpose usually in digital form
• A data base is an application that manages data
and allows fast storage and retrieval of that
data.
• Educational institutions and corporations often
provide access for their researchers to one or
more of these database e.g. MEDLINE , EMBASE
,EBM , IOWA drug informations

9. Patent databases[2]
patent information databases can serve as an
inspiration and a tool for solving problems in
their daily work. Patent information databases
provide information on competitor's activities.
One of the main advantages of the patent
information databases is that it represents very
often the only source of information about
some technical solutions, having in mind that it
is the first publication and sometimes the only
one, due to the precondition for invention
protection - novelty

10. Database searching [3]
• Data base provide access to the information
sources and are capable to locate the
material on a particular topic by an author , or
in a journal .
• Some data base offer access to high-quality
academic and professional matter in a
particular subject area e.g. ERIC( educational
material ) while other database provide
research and general information on many
subjects eg.Proquest

11. • Access of database is accessible to personnel
with applicable log in on the library home
page
• On the other hand , most of the library’s
database may be search at the same time
through a journal search in library search
