Information sources Journals

In order to aid discussion of these information sources we have split them into two categories paper-based information sources (journals, books, series, etc.) and electronic sources (computer databases), because although the type of information available from each source may be the same, the coverage and methods for searching them often differ significantly.

This does not have to be so Why not build an uninterrupted stream of information from the producer (the bench chemist) to the consumer (the reader of a journal or book, or the scientist that puts a query into a database) It is quite clear that the producers of information knows best what experiments were done, what observations were made, what results have been obtained. They should put this information into electronic laboratory books, augmented with spectral data (that they can obtain directly from the analytical laboratory). From this electronic repository aU other information sources -manuscripts, journals, books, databases - could be filled, clearly sometimes by manual selection, but not by changing data ... 

The literature of chemistry and associated fields has iacreased enormously siace 1980. Kstahlishment of subspecialties and newly defined disciplines as well as iacreased research output have led to an explosion of journals, books, and on-line databases, all of which attempt to capture, record, and disseminate this plethora of knowledge (1). Tertiary reference tools ia chemistry and technology (eg, KJrk-Othmer, 4th ed.) help track the primary Hterature. Excellent references that discuss basic chemical information tools are The Titerature Matrix of Chemistry (1), Chemical Information Sources (2), and Mow to Find Chemical Information (3). 

External information sources industry groups, professional associations, technical journals, print and broadcast media, professional development coursework, etc.

Chemical Business NewsBase (http //www.rsc.org/is/database/cbnbhome.htm) This provides information on the business environment of the chemical industry. It provides company, product and market information for the chemical industry and its end-use sectors worldwide. It also covers environmental issues and regulatory developments. More than 580000 items are contained within the database since its initiation in 1985. The database is updated daily, from more than 700 sources. As well as information from journals and newspapers, information is also sourced from company reports, newsletters and press releases. 

Contract manufacturers can be identified by their specialty through the use of commercial information sources and by review of advertisements in trade journals.f Commercial information sources solicit profiles of contract manufacturers for their databases. Contract manufacturers usually advertise their services in journals having the widest circulation within an industry. Many of these journals print annual buyer s. 

Know and always look for specific information sources. Never go to a general source when a specific one is available, be it a journal, a book, or a company publication. 

The problem of ozone depletion considered in the Montreal Protocol is discussed in detail. Qiapter 8 considers methods of manufacture, including molding methods, spraying, frothing, laminating, structural foam molding, syntactic foam preparations, and foam-in-place techniques. Chapter 9 on sources of information covers journals, manufacturers bulletins, technical conferences and their published proceeding, seminars and workshops, standardization activities, trade associations, consultants, and information centers, and books. 

Columns and review sections in journals or newsletters can help the professional keep abreast of new resources or provide comparative information on established resources in selected areas. Collections of reviews are also available online in such sources as Comprehensive Core Medical Library (CCML) by Ovid Technologies, Inc., Book Review Index (online and in print) by Wilson, and the National Library of Medicine s TOXLINE database. Reviews of popular works dealing with consumer health or environmental concerns can also be found in newspapers, popular magazines, and consumer organization newsletters. Summaries and reviews of online databases and databanks can be found in the information science journals, directories of online resources, and produc-er/vendor documentation. 

Everyone reading this foreword already knows that clinical pharmacy is evidence-based. Those in the field rely heavily on therapeutics textbooks, drug information compendia, journal articles, and the World Wide Web as critical sources of information and knowledge to guide their patient care and research decisions. So what can a resource like the Encyclopedia of Clinical Pharmacy add to the growing (and some might say already overcrowded) library of professional literature ... 

Chemical Abstracts. A weekly publication of the American Chemical Society that consists of research articles and patents in all major fields of chemistry throughout the world. It is completely computerized, including the ability to draw chemical structures as the basis for a search of the database, and available in various forms from several computerized services. It is the most indispensable information source in chemical literature and is the largest scientific abstract journal in the world. For further information, see Appendix II. 

The AATCC system is a very detailed dye class identification system. The brief description of some basic tests in this chapter is only for the purpose of introduction. Readers are recommended to obtain thebook Analytical Methods for a Textile Laboratory by the AATCC in order to comprehend the complexity of the dye analysis. Of course the other books and journal articles listed in the references are also excellent information sources. Whenever possible, reading these materials would definitely help develop a better understanding of colour chemistry, which will ultimately ensure that the dye analysis is performed more effectively and efficiently.

Plagiarism—Plagiarism refers to presentii someone else s work as your own. You may use or cite the work of others induding information from journal artides, books, online sources, TV or radio, but make sure that you dte where you obtain the information from. In Chapter 4, we discussed in detail how you should give proper reference in your oral and written communications.
