Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM is formatted so that all articles from the CD retain as much as possible of their original appearance. Each article file begins with an abstract/keyword page followed by the article pages. Articles have been positioned to start at the top of the page for improved appearance both on screen and in print. All pages of the Journal that contain editorial content, including the front covers, tables of contents, letters, and reviews, are included. Also included are abstracts (when available), keywords for all articles, and supplementary materials. Where available, color graphics have been substituted for the black and white or grayscale versions used in the printed Journal.

The Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM has proven to be a useful tool for chemical educators. Like the Computerized Index to the Journal of Chemical Education (1) it will help you to locate articles on a particular topic or written by a particular author. In addition, having the complete article on the CD-ROM provides added convenience. It is no longer necessary to go the library, locate the Journal issue, and read it while sitting in a uncomfortable chair. With a few clicks of the mouse you can scan an article on your computer monitor, print it, if it proves interesting, and read it in any setting you choose.

JCE CD is developed using Adobe Acrobat.
