Chemistry for the Non-Chemist Librarian
CE Full day course
Ticketed event
SLAMembers $299
Students/retired members $199
Non-members $399
It is necessary that any information scientist with responsibilities for providing chemistry reference services understand the structure and language of chemistry. This course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the basic principles of the five major divisions of chemistry, chemical terminology and drawing, and other intellectual tools that chemists need to do their work. It will be composed of four basic sections: an introduction to chemistry as a science, strategies for effective communication with chemists, basic chemical concepts and research questions, and the ways in which chemists’ research needs dictate their information needs.

Chemical Information Sources, Requests, and Reference
CE ½ day course
Ticketed event
SLAMembers $199
Students/retired members $99
Non-members $299
The course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the types of questions that chemical researchers ask and reference sources that can be used to answer them. It will provide an overview of the structure of the chemical literature, types of reference sources in the chemical sciences, unique access points for chemical information, and strategies for an effective search. Informal lectures, interspersed with hands-on reference questions, will compare and describe the major chemical information resources.
Extreme Structure Searching: Organics, Organometallics, Polymers, and Markush
CE ½ day course
Ticketed event
SLAMembers $199
Students/retired members $99
Non-members $299
This course will introduce participants to specialized search techniques for small molecules in the chemical literature: profiling organic, organometallic and catalytic substances by substructure, applying structure and substructure search techniques to polymer searching, and using basic substructure and Markush search strategies for patent information retrieval. Participants will learn advanced organic substructure search techniques and recommendations of where, when, and how to use them. This will be followed by techniques of locating organometallics and polymers using the substructure search techniques taught. Finally, the participants will examine the application of substructure techniques to patent searching, including learning the basics of Markush searching.
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
