It is easy to think of the National Science Foundation (NSF) as an organization dedicated to just the support of science research and education, and indeed, that is how most of us interact with the Foundation. However, the NSF's mission includes activities to "promote the progress of science", so it is not surprising that it also has been authorized to "provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and technical resources". In this effort, the NSF Web site provides a wealth of timely information on science and engineering, including educational issues. The NSF Web site is also an excellent place to start looking for information available through other Federal agencies. Careful inspection of this information can do a lot to help researchers and educators get a wide view of the place of their efforts in the nation's science efforts.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
