Whether you are new to UVA or simply new to using the UVA Library, whether you are a student, faculty, or staff member, here are some tips, tricks and resources to be aware of to make your experience easier and more efficient.
Getting Started using UVA Library for Chemical Engineering Research:
- Use VIRGO to search within our collection, make requests, find and create course reserves, organize and share bookmarks, and set personal preferences for your own use of the system. Sign in using NetBadge.
- Register for a SciFinder account using your virginia.edu email address.
- Install LibKey Nomad to gain one-click access to articles and other materials we subscribe to.
-
Download and install ChemDraw using your virginia.edu email address to register (Note: this is a Chemistry Department license).
-
Register for an ORCID. If you already have an ORCID, update it to reflect your new UVA Affiliation.
-
How to Get Started with a UVA LabArchives accountTo protect and manage research data at UVA, and help comply with funding requirements for government agencies, UVA now has a university-wide license to LabArchives.
