Organic Chemistry I Lab: Literature Search - Databases

VR (virtual reality) videos to support the HCC curriculum. These 360 - degree immersive or spherical videos were shot using omni-directional camera technology. During playback on flat displays, such as tablets and laptops, the viewer can pan and control the viewing direction like a panorama. Stereoscope-style viewers for smartphones (such as Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR) can be used to view these videos in an immersive format.

Streaming videos representing a wide range of disciplines and topics, fully searchable. Users can create retrievable clips and playlists. Most videos come with a complete transcript. See the Academic Video Online LibGuide for help with the interface, embedding, and playlists.

Educational videos in the collection including timely science and history topics. New releases include: Career Decisions: Physical Therapy, The Neuroscience of Addiction Extended Interviews, Behavioral Science, AP Human Geography, Great Directors, Great Authors of the British Isles and Great Irish Authors. Ambrose Video has BBC Classics, such as BBC Shakespeare Plays, James Burkes' Connections, Ascent of Man and more. Educational video content designed with clips that target the needs of educators using new digital delivery in the classroom!

Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The journal typically addresses chemical content, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. JCE serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. The global audience includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government. Full-text access includes archival content available from 1924 (Vol. 1) to the present. 

Hint - Off-campus access is available once a personal account is set-up at any HCC campus. Once on the page, just click "Log-In" at upper right and then "Create one today." You do not need to enter a customer/member number.
