The Index to Physical, Chemical and other Property Data webpage was created in 1998 to assist Arizona State University Libraries staff and students find property information.  At ASU, the page is used in instruction sessions for chemistry courses such as organic and biophysical, and is highlighted in materials science and chemical engineering library orientations.  Current work is focused on the expansion of definitions and symbols and the addition of a WorldCat link for resources listed.  What is the future direction of this resource?  Many libraries link to the website from their Chemistry Subject Guide or their own property page.  Is there a way to combine our efforts into one global resource?  Librarians unite!  This presentation will highlight the history of the webpage and describe the evolution of a new concept in property indexing.
