Before the chamber is built, you also have to think carefully about how to test the effectiveness of the process. How could you evaluate, in a relatively short time, how well the process protects paper from deterioration At this stage, you would undoubtedly do more library research and consult with other experts, such as a paper chemist your company hires as an outside consultant. 

The author thanks Professor Lo Gorton for inviting her to contribute to this chapter. She also thanks Professors Yoshiyuki Okamoto and Gorton for their useful comments in preparing this manuscript and Dr. Harini Patel for assisting in library research. 

It has frequently been said, however, that the cheapest research is that done in the library many chemists can probably confirm this statement from their own experience. It is because of this that the informed chemist seldom thinks of embaiking upon a new research program in the laboratory before he has ascertained what information already exists that may have some bearing upon his problem. The value of such library research has already been ably discussed (10,11,14, 22, 24, 32,52). 

Library research in the chemical literature, the stepchild of earher days, has recently come into its own. The hit-or-miss operator, lacking a balanced background of chemistry,... 

The value of library research as a foundation for laboratory research is becoming increasingly acknowledged. Its importance, which has been discussed in previous American Chemical Society Symposia on Library Techniques, has frequently been emphasized by leaders in research (1,2). 

Acquiring Information Carry out library research to obtain information on a radiodating technique not explained in this feature. 

Do problems that give practice in library research for economic data. Prepare two term papers that will develop your skills in data searching, logical analysis, and construction of convincing economic arguments. 

Most of your work requires well-organized library research in sources outside the usual technical area. You will greatly broaden your professional skills by doing these assignments effectively and by reading chemical industry literature. 

The following questions were developed to enliven classroom discussion or self-directed study. They are intended to help the reader note the significance of tabular data. It is suggested that some of the questions be done as in-class exercises and some as assignments for outside work. All these questions can be answered from data in the chapter no additional library research is required.

At the end of the semester each student submits a paper by expanding a topic or a researcher s work from the last half of the Hazen book. The latter half of this book, which focuses on current theories of origin of life, is quite speculative and open-ended. The purpose of the students papers is to encourage students to go beyond the book and to develop library research skills. To support this, a session is held with the librarian on how to conduct a search of primary and secondary sources. At the end of the semester students present their papers to the class and are required to use PowerPoint (or other presentation software) for their presentation. 

Used online databases and foreign language sources to conduct extensive library research, facilitating Dr. Benning s publication of three articles in scholarly journals. 

Although library research helps you to understand the fundamentals of the problem, now the tough part (and the most interesting part) begins. Can you find a creative solution to the problem Can the paper in existing books be treated to stop the deterioration in a way that is economical, permanent, and safe ...
