  Laboratory Equipment
 
The equipment in the Department is generally available for use by all graduate students and faculty. Usually, it is maintained by a particular research group or one of the Departmental Technicans. The operation and care of equipment is considered integral to the education of graduate students.

  Computer Facilities
 
The Chemistry Department has its own computing laboratories with several Silicon Graphics and Sun workstations as well as Mac and PC facilities. The Department is networked with central university computing facilities which include IBM and Digital mainframe equipment.
  The Chemistry Library
 
The Chemistry Library located in Beury Hall is a fine resource for the Department. This library is a satellite of the Temple University Library system which contains additional journal collections and reference materials.

The Chemistry Library occupies 3000 sq. ft.. The collection in Beury Hall includes 212 journal titles, 12,500 bound journals and 5700 reference books. The total collection of math, science and engineering holdings are currently about 1400 journal titles, 53,000 bound journals and 33,000 books. Online search capabilities are available.
  Additional Facilities
 

The Department has excellent facilities for analytical and preparative gas and high pressure liquid chromatography and is serviced by a very fine storeroom. There is a full-time support staff of several research and computer technicians who maintain the major instruments within the Department. The Chemistry Department also maintains a well-equipped and well-staffed glassblowing shop.
