CASSI
CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index) is the comprehensive and retrospective list of sources that have been indexed by Chemical Abstracts since it began in 1907. It includes journals, books, conferences, and other series, arranged by CA abbreviation. This is the source you should use to translate title abbreviations into full titles for searching in the library catalog and other finding aids. CASSI is located at the Circulation Desk. CASSI is not online, but partial lists of abbreviations of key journals include the CAplus Core Journal List and a Univ. British Columbia listing.
