Compiling a list of information sources for student posters – they should be suitable for introductory level college chemistry. These articles provide a good overview of a topic and usually give details of further reading. Please feel free to suggest additions and I will update regularly. Suggested references should be suitable for student reading and be available in a typical college library.
