The scanning project is complete! This means that subscribers have at their fingertips all of the articles that have been published during all issues of all 84 years of the JCE. You can find articles either by searching in the JCE Index online or by browsing by year and issue or range of pages. We thank the many UW–Madison students who scanned and archived the issues and the JCE staff headed by Jon Holmes and Betty Moore who oversaw the project. A sampling of what you can find appears below. Here are some other interesting things to look for: (1) first article on high school chemistry; (2) the “Piaget for Chemists” article referred to in Dudley Herron’s award address (p 24); (3) the first article describing a laboratory exercise (hint: it involves building models and includes a template); (4) an editorial and a description of the first Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (held at Snowmass-at-Aspen, CO in July 1970); (5) Hubert Alyea’s first Tested Demonstrations article; (6) the first article describing a “Lecture Table Experiment”; (7) the first article in the Microscale Laboratory column, and who were the co-authors in addition to Dana Mayo and Ronald Pike? (8) a description of a green chemistry course published in 1995; (9) early papers on the teaching of crystal field theory; (10) the first article in the Computer Series; (11) first cover containing a chemistry sudoku puzzle. As you peruse the greatly expanded resources now available you will probably find infelicities, omissions, and downright errors. Please let us know when you find any of these so that we can fix them. If you like what you find, or come up with a gem brighter than those listed above and below, let us know that as well. Happy searching and browsing!
