Subject: CCL: Experimental reference values

Dear CCLers:

I am an undergrad, teaching myself how to do ab initio chemistry, so
please forgive my ignorance. 

How do I find the "true" experimental values so I can compare them to
my calculated values? Is there a reference with experimentally
determined energies for the ground and excited states of simple
diatomics like N2 and O2? More generally, is there a procedure I can
follow for find out such things in the future?

Bowing humbly before you,
Lawrence Watts
