Which should you ask your library to buy?
Patricia E. KirkwoodUniversity of ArkansasEngineering and Mathematics Librarian
We are a small school We have no access to a consortia We need to meet the CPT guidelines Libraries want a defined cost with campus
wide access
Undergraduate Professional Education in Chemistry – Guidelines and Evaluation Procedures, 2/27/2007 draft http://acswebcontent.acs.org/education/cpt/cpt_n
ewdraftguidelines.pdf Library Requirements
http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/acsdisplay.html?DOC=education\cpt\library.html
Students must have print or electronic access to Chemical Abstracts, including the ability to search and access full abstracts.
Available where: SciFinder Scholar STN on the Web STN Easy CAS Student Edition
http://www.cas.org/Support/educ.html
The student conducts undergraduate research with a faculty advisor, allowing the student to draw on faculty expertise and encouraging a student-faculty mentor relationship. The research project should be envisioned as a component of a publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It should be well-defined, stand a reasonable chance of completion in the available time, apply and develop an understanding of in-depth concepts, use a variety of instrumentation, and be grounded in the chemical literature.
7.2 Chemical Literature Skills.
Students should be able to use the peer-reviewed scientific literature effectively and evaluate technical articles critically.
They should learn how to retrieve specific information from the chemical literature, including the use of Chemical Abstracts and other compilations, with online, interactive database-searching tools.
Approved programs must provide instruction on the effective retrieval and use of the chemical literature.
A specific course is an excellent means of imparting information-retrieval skills, though such a course usually would not qualify as an in-depth course. Integrating the use of these skills into several individual courses is also an effective approach. Both library and online exercises should be a part of such instruction.
We have less that 5K a year for 35 FTE students to learn chemical searching
And our faculty need access to Chemical Abstracts as well.
We have an excellent librarian, however, chemistry is not one of his subject strengths.
Who is going to teach the students about information retrieval?
SciFinder Scholar CA Student Edition General Science Abstracts
All use controlled vocabulary.All available for under $5KAll index selective science journals with titles used
by undergraduates in their assignments included.
Librarians and scientists look at databases differently.
You need a product that students can become comfortable with rather quickly that doesn’t hide the realities of this process.
1 seat shared between 3 schools Access to full features of Scholar including
structure searching Includes –
Chemical Abstracts (including Registry) ChemCats CASReacts Medline

access Is not a search engine non-science librarians
are comfortable Restricted to 1 user at a time.
Available through OCLC First Search – an interface that is familiar to many librarians
316 Journals (all ACS journals, all but 1CPT recommended journals) indexed
No conferences included Dissertations included No patents included 1967 to current Uses RN and all controlled vocabulary of full CA Does not have the registry file component

HW Wilson Product Available on many platforms with and without
full text added 300 journals in all science areas with a large
focus in chemistry and biology Controlled vocabulary
SciFinder Scholar indexes all CPT required and recommended journals, but not every article of every journal.
CA Student Edition is a subset of SciFinder General Science Abstracts has journal that
are most likely available at small institutions or through Interlibrary Loan
