Linux is a freely available computer operating system. Instead of buying multiple copies of the same operating system for use on each computer, Linux may be freely copied onto every computer. Linux distributions come with hundreds of applications, such as compilers, browsers, various servers, graphics software, text editors, and spreadsheets, just to mention a few. Many commercial software companies have ported their applications over to Linux. Numerous programs for chemists, such as statistical treatment, molecular modeling, NMR spectral processing, DNA sequence evaluation, crystal structure solving, and molucular dynamics are available online, many at no cost.

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.
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.
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.
For journals in other fields of chemistry visit ACS Publications.
