This column provides instructors with practical information on a wide range
of topics related to teaching information-searching skills to undergraduates,
graduate students, and other researchers. Although most articles are academic
in focus, chemists in other settings will find material that can be adapted to
their needs. Non-academics are also encouraged to consider submissions describing
successful instructional programs in their organizations that are of potential
interest to academic instructors. Information is provided in print, and on the
Web via JCE Online.

Abstracts

Contributions should provide information needed by readers to reproduce similar
experiences in their institutions. Authors should include:

Teaching and Using Chemical Information:
Annotated Bibliography, 1993-1998 (by
Carol Carr)
The biggest change since the last bibliography on this topic was published
in 1993 is the growing number of resources available on the Web. For example,
providers of chemical databases now have Web pages that contain information on
how to use their resources. Instructors also have created Web pages to complement
their chemical information instruction classes. The entire bibliography is available
on the Web in JCE Online; it includes an annotated list of all Web resources listed
as well as other relevant Web sites. This annotated Web resource list will be
updated quarterly.
