Foreword
This work was compiled in response to a charge from the
American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Information
Education Committee in the spring of 1984. It is not copyrighted
and may be freely reproduced. It is our hope that the
bibliography and index will be useful to those chemistry
professors, librarians, and others who provide instruction to
meet the chemical information requirements of the ACS Committee
on Professional Training.
The items in the bibliography are numbered consecutively and
divided into the following groups:
General Chemical Literature--Books
General Chemical Literature--Articles and Chapters in Books
General Chemical Literature--Audiovisual Materials
Specific Chemical Literature--Books
Specific Chemical Literature--Articles and Chapters in Books
Specific Chemical Literature--Audiovisual Materials
Information Storage and Retrieval--Books
Information Storage and Retrieval--Articles and Chapters in
Books
By "General Chemical Literature" we mean that the full range
of chemistry is covered or that the work deals with teaching
people how to use the literature as a whole. Under "Specific
Chemical Literature" we gathered material about a particular
topic (e.g., physicochemical data), about a particular reference
tool (e.g., Beilstein), or about a sub-area of chemistry (e.g.,
inorganic chemistry), etc. While sections of some of the works
in the first two main groups may deal with computer-based
techniques, we attempted to segregate most of these into "Infor-
mation Storage and Retrieval".
The index was included both because we found that the
content of a work was not always clear from the title and because
we wanted to build a database which could be used on a
microcomputer by students and others at Indiana University. That
is a task which lies before us, but which explains the unorthodox
citation formats which we have used. It is my belief that this
will not detract from the usefulness of the bibliography. This
work contains many of the titles which I have found useful in
teaching courses in chemical information at Indiana University.
Comments, corrections, and suggestions should be addressed to me.
The indexing was done primarily by Linda K. Heideman; the index
was prepared using dBase II by Ann Razgunas. Without their help,
the work may have never been completed.
