[Second Edition, 2011] This document identifies the skills and knowledge that chemistry undergraduates should have by the completion of a bachelors degree in chemistry and lists specific resources we recommend. The document is divided into 4 sections: 1) Big Picture: the Library and Scientific and Chemical Literature; 2) Properties, Spectra, Safety Information; 3) Chemical Literature; and 4) Scientific Communication. |

Introductory lecture on how to search for information: formulate a question (incl. Boolean Operators), choose & evaluate information sources (should I use Wikipedia?), when did I find enough and how do I store the information? |

Using CHEMnetBASE and Organic Syntheses to locate information on an organic compound

Guided exercise used by students working in pairs typically in a computer equipped classroom. Each student completes an exercise which is reviewed by an instructor. Students retain exercises. During the hour session students are expected to complete the first two pages. Many solve the organic "chemystery" of journal citations on the third page by using a library catalog, CASSI Search Tool, or a Web search engine, for example Google. |
