Abstract

The Internet has rapidly emerged as an important resource of chemistry information. Discovering the scope of the information available and how to find it should be a part of the undergraduate education of every chemistry student. Interesting, challenging, and relevant searches on the Internet motivate students to gain navigation experience while (it is hoped!) increasing their desire to learn chemistry. A variety of investigations are suggested to introduce students to different search techniques and reinforce and supplement their knowledge of chemistry. As a result of performing the exercises, students should have a good sense of the role the Internet can play in their chemistry literature searches.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students. 


JCE Collections Available
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
