Searching print reference sources for thermodynamic data can be a tedious and often frustrating task for librarians and scientists alike. This article describes ThermoDex, a web-based finding aid developed at the University of Texas at Austin, that indexes over 200 thermodynamic data collections and handbooks. ThermoDex allows a user to identify specific resources that might contain particular types of data, and offers a way to rediscover underutilized sources that might otherwise be overlooked. It strives to serve both end users and reference librarians as a link between traditional print resources and the web tools preferred by most users.
