  1. Steven P. Wathen Siena Heights University Adrian, Michigan Some Free Resources on the Internet for Introducing Chemical Information

  2. Chemical Information Resources • What: • journals and data • Why: • help students find information • give students experience with chemical literature • prepare students for doing research

  3. Cost of Journal Subscriptions • Journals are Expensive • Library Subscription for JACS: $3418 • ACS alone publishes 34 Journals • Average subscription rate ~$1700

  4. Free Journal Articles from ACS • Select Hot Articles • pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/ • Sample Issues • First issue of the current year • Articles on Request • Authors are allowed to distribute via their websites or email

  5. Free Articles from Other Publishers • Journal of Biological Chemistry • Free until printed, and at end of calendar year • www.jbc.org • Proceedings of the National Academy of Science • Free access to all articles 6 months after publication • www.pnas.org • Royal Society • Free access 12 months after publication • www.rsc.org

  6.
