Book Description
Every chemical research project begins with a thorough and expedient search of the chemical literature. As the size and complexity of the chemical literature continues to grow at an outstanding rate, the chemist is continuously confronted with the task of wading through a mountain of information, that may elude even the most versed computer searcher. The LIBRARY HANDBOOK FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTS is designed to direct the researcher to the most appropriate references and to streamline, organize and optimize the process of searching the chemical literature. While directing the researcher to all appropriate literature resources, this handbook also provides a thorough understanding of the organization of the information contained. As each section is designed for quick assimilation of the information necessary to locate a reference, researchers do not have to read the entire book or even a complete section to understand and search the chemical literature. This handbook leads the infrequent searcher stepwise through the literature to the answer to a search. For those conducting computer searches, it will help in selecting the appropriate database and it will also aid in searching commands. As for the experienced librarian, this handbook will become the source to check in order to ensure that all the basis have been covered.
