About

The RSC eBook Collection is a definitive point of reference for anyone working in the chemical sciences.  Over 900 books spanning 40 years have been brought together, digitalised as pdf files and made fully searchable. The result is a comprehensive overview of research and opinion in a multitude of areas of chemical science.

Continually updated and expanded throughout the year, the RSC eBook Collection provides access to new content as it is published and continuous access to our full catalogue of books. The eBook Collection is fully searchable and indexed to chapter level, with all documents provided as pdfs.  Excellent search engines, powered by Google, enable you to quickly retrieve the data you want.  

In 2009, the RSC launched the RSC Subject eBook Collections which consist of 9 subject specialist packages matched to individual disciplines.  The collections cover food science, physical, organic, environmental and analytical chemistry, materials and nanoscience, industry and pharma, biosciences and tutorial chemistry texts and paperbacks.  

A full list of titles in each package is given on the Pricing and Licensing Information page.
