ChemFinder. CambridgeSoft.
Web-based chemical search engine. Data is not evaluated, but this is a convenient and accessible way to do a preliminary data search by name, formula, CAS Registry Number, or even by structure (requires a free plug-in). Links to data usually include basic chemical and physical properties (melting point, boiling point, solubility, density, etc.) and often include sources for commercial availability and toxicological and safety information. A list of sites indexed is also available.

SciFinder Scholar. Chemical Abstracts Service.
While not strictly a data resource, this online version of Chemical Abstracts is often an excellent resource for identifying publication of data in the primary journal literature. Results sets can be large; contact the Chemistry Librarian if you need assistance in developing search strategies. This client based resource can be searched from public workstations in the Chemistry and Crerar Libraries, or from other campus networked computers. The client software must be downloaded from the Chemistry Library web site.

Zahlenwerte und Funktionen aus Naturwissenschaften und Technik, Neue Serie
Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology, New Series. Landolt-Bornstein. Multi-volume set Springer-Verlag: Berlin,
This series, in conjunction with the 6th edition, represents the most comprehensive compilation of numerical data available. While many volumes were published in German, the more recent volumes are produced entirely in English. A comprehensive subject index is available in print, as well as a 3 volume substance index. Many volumes are accompanied by supplementary computer disk or CD-ROMs and there are now page images of a large number of the print volumes available from the publisher's website. The set is comprised of 9 "groups" of volumes, each in a different subject area. The groups are Units and Fundamental Constants, Elementary Particles, Nuclei and Atoms (Group I), Molecules and Radicals (Group II), Condensed Matter (Group III), Physical Chemistry (Group IV), Geophysics (Group V), Astronomy and Astrophysics (Group VI), Biophysics (Group VII), and Advanced Materials and Technologies (Group VIII). The volumes are sometimes internally organized idiosyncratically, and it may be necessary to consult indexes within individual volumes, or scan a number of tables to find the data of interest. All data are accompanied by literature references.

CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Annual. CRC Press: Boca Raton,
Tables of particular interest are 1) physical constants of inorganic compounds, 2) physical constants of organic compounds, 3) physical properties of organometallic compounds, 4) selected thermodynamic properties, and 5) vapor pressure of inorganic and organic compounds. This handbook is revised regularly, and contains the most common compounds. The web version is licensed for the University of Chicago community and offers very good searching capabilities. Tables are sometimes removed from various editions, so it is helpful to look at several editions when searching for particular properties or data.
