| From ACS Guidelines for Chemistry Programs in Two-Year Colleges: “Because of the increasing volume and complexity of chemical literature, students are no longer able to acquire skills in information retrieval without some formal instruction. … This can be accomplished in many ways, such as cooperative library arrangements and electronic access. ” Project UCAIR (Undergraduate Cooperative Access to Information Resources) has demonstrated how students may relate concepts learned in chemistry to published research, to attack "real-world" problems. A cost-effective Chemical Abstracts (CA) search process will be described in which Internet-based access has been used in undergraduate laboratories. Experience gained through UCAIR will be described, and feedback will be sought, to optimize benefits of using electronic journals as well as CA in the Community College environment. |
