CAS/STlS[Interna.tiona.1. CAS/STN offers stmcture searchable files such as Registry, Beilstein, MARPAT, CASREACT, and Gmelin a variety of learning files, eg, LRegistry, LBeHstein, LMARPAT, and LCASREACT and software products such as STN Express for on-line stmcture and substmcture searching. Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, has pubHshed Chemical Abstracts since 1907 and joindy operates STN International with EIZ Kadsmhe and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology. 

JICST/JOIS. The Japan Information Center for Science and Technology (fICST) Mass Spectral Database is accessible to users in Japan through the JICST Eactual Database System (fOlS-E). The database uses the NIST/EPA/ MSCD data collection supplemented by spectra from the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan (84). 

JICST-E is a bibliographic database with English citations and abstracts covering the literature published in Japan on all fields of science, technology, and medicine. It is produced by the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology and covers 1985 to date.

In other parts of the world, reference journals were also founded In 1927, the first issue of the journal Nippon Kagaku Soran was published in Japanese. This journal has abstracted the Imown chemical literature in Japan since 1877. The Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST), which was founded 1957, took over the reference journal in 1958 for financial reasons and continued publishing it with the new title Domestic Chemistry Series of JICST Current Awareness. The rest of the world did not take very much notice of Japanese publications, now and then an article was cited in Chemisches Zen-tralblatt or Chemical Abstracts although this Japanese reference journal was essential for Japanese chemists. The number of publications, which were cited in Chemical Abstracts increased steadily (34 abstracts in 1907 109,800 in 1991), the systematic access to the Japanese chemical literature was organized after the Second World War Since 1977, the Japan Association for International Chemical Information (JAICI), a department of JICST, has cooperated with Chemical Abstracts Service and since 1980, all CA abstracts of Japanese publications have been written by JAICI. 

The most important host in chemical information is STN - Scientific Technical Network International. The nature of this host is most specific, as three institutionalized computer centers are backing it, the Chemical Abstracts Service, Columbus, Ohio, the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) Karlsruhe, and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST), Tokyo. These three are permanently interrelated by use of satellite lines (Fig. 78). The... 

STN International Scientific Technical Network, computer system which is jointly offered by three database producers the American Chemical Society, -y FIZ Karlsruhe and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST). The three service centers at CAS in Columbus (USA), in Karlsruhe (Germany) and in Tokyo are linked via satellite and submarine cable. STN currently offers about 160 databases in a variety of scientific and technical subject areas.

Protein information resource (Barker et al., 1999) was established in 1984 by the National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF) as a successor to the original NBRF Protein Sequence Database, developed over 20 years by the late Margaret O. Dayhoff and published as the Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure (Dayhoff et al., 1965 Dayhoff, 1979). Since 1988 the database has been maintained by PIR-Intemational, a collaboration between the NBRF, the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS), and the Japan International Protein Information Database (JIPID).

Japan s Ministry of International Trade has published several books with detailed information on biodegradation tests of several hundred chemicals. This information has now also been made available by the Japan Chemical Industry Ecology-Toxicology and Information Center (JETOC) see Chapter 14 for more details on the MITI biodegradation database. The JETOC also published a compendium of mutagenicity test data of several hundred chemicals. The books can be purchased from JETOC and partial data can be found at various websites, such as members.jcom.home.ne.jp/mo-ishidate/.

The intended audience for the Encyclopedia is clinical pharmacists and pharmacy students throughout the world. The Encyclopedia should become an essential resource for libraries and drug information centers as well as for personal libraries. The Encyclopedia will also be of interest to other health care practitioners and students who wish to learn about clinical pharmacy practice. The Encyclopedia s international Editorial Advisory Board represents the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Japan.
