BUTWHAT ARE THE

QUESTIONS?

SOARING COSTS!

FEW SCIENCE LIBRARIANS!

ACS CPT: (CA and Journals, hard copy or online) “...must be a part of the collection.”

ELECTRONIC SEARCHING REQUIRES SPECIAL EXPERTISE (?)

‘INFORMATICS’ PROBLEMS FOR PUI

CHEMISTRY

• CA full abstracts access required!• CA online? Students must have good, timely

access. • Miniumum of 14 current journals

subscriptions • Online journals acceptable if full material

routinely is accessible to students.• Computer access by students must not be

unduly limited by cost or impractical access times.

THE INTERNET

ONLINE JOURNALS

CONSORTIA

WONDERFUL TIME FOR SMALL SCHOOLS!

SIZE AND LOCATION NEUTRALIZED

AS LIMITING FACTORS:

Provide FACULTY with fundamental sophistication in Chemical Informatics.

Teach STUDENTS to determine if information exists, how to retrieve it and assess its quality.

Enable DECISION-MAKERS to see how institutional resources may be used efficiently.
