>> As recently announced in Journal of Chemical Education, the Chemical Education Digital Library : ChemEd DL now provides free online access to a popular resource for elemental properties.
- Periodic Table Live! presents a wealth of information about the characteristics, discovery, name, preparation, natural sources, reactions, and uses of elements.
- It also includes a glossary of chemistry terms, images (focusing on the end uses of elements), videos of reactions, and interactive 3D crystal structures. The graphing function can plot any available property versus another one for selected elements while listing the data in a table.
- Users can add more information about the elements through a wiki.
>> Intended as a resource for students and teachers, ChemEd DL also includes 
- online networking communities
- demonstrations
- exercises
- lessons, and
- textbooks
ChemEd DL is a project of the National Science Foundation's National Science Digital Library, and its partners include Journal of Chemical Education, the American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Education, and the ChemCollective.
