This PDF Guide is a list of ist of NMR, IR, MS, and UV spectra that are currently located in the Science Reference section or in the stacks. Items are categorized by the type of spectrum and whether the book contains actual spectra, or data, or discussion; for example, “NMR Spectra,” NMR Data,” “NMR Text,” “IR Spectra,” and so forth.


Recommended Web Sites for Spectra and Spectra-related Information

SpectroscopyNOW.com 
This site includes information on a wide range of spectroscopy topics, including NMR, IR, UV and mass spec.  Access to some features, such as the online e-zine Spectral Lines, requires (no-cost) registration.  This site includes discussion forums and links to other spectroscopy-related websites, including online databases of spectral data.

NIST Scientific and Technical Databases
Produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this site provides links to databases pertaining to several disciplines, including Analytical Chemistry, Biotechnology, Materials Property, and Physics.  Only some of these Some databases are freely available, while others are available for purchase.
