UNH Chemistry Branch Library

Iddles Wing, Parsons Hall

23 Academic Way, Durham, NH 03824

(603) 862-1083

The Chemistry Branch of the UNH Library System is located in the Iddles Auditorium section of Parsons Hall. The Chemistry Branch (also called, "the Chemistry Library") is situated across Academic Way (formerly College Road) from the Paul Creative Arts Center, and is flanked on either side by Kingsbury Hall and McConnell Hall. It is also convenient to Morse Hall, which gives it proximity to most researchers in the areas of physical sciences and technology.

The Chemistry Library is primarily a research facility for use by individuals in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, as well as chemical engineering and related disciplines. On its three floors is kept the chemistry core curriculum journal collection for the University, as well as a large selection of relevant monographs, symposia and series in all fields of chemistry. Chemistry instructional materials, including course reserves, are also available, and there is wireless Internet access in addition to several public computer workstations. Despite its research activities, the Chemistry Library has the reputation of being one of the few quiet places on campus in which to study.
