Chemical Abstracts. Chemical Abstracts (CA) [23] is a collection of chemical information, with nearly 16 million abstracts of journal articles, patents, and other documents. In addition, the CAOLD database contains over 3 million abstracts from 1907-1966. Sources for CA include more than 8000 journals, patents, technical reports, books, conference proceedings, and dissertations from around the world. CA patent database covers 29 national patent offices and two international bodies. About 16% of the CA database, approximately 2.5 million records, are from the patent literature. Chemical Abstracts is commercially available from the American Chemical Society in several formats.

All but a dozen or so of the publications mentioned have been seen by the. author. Among the libraries which have been used are those of the British Museum and Patent Office in London, of the Universities of Cambridge London, and Manchester, the Cambridge Philosophical Society, some Departs mental Libraries in Cambridge, the Chemical and Geological Societies in London, and in the case of Russian publications the Society for Cultural Relations between the Peoples of the British Commonwealth and the U.S.S.R., in London. The staffs of all the libraries have, without exception, rendered the most willing, courteous, and expert assistance to the author, and he cannot adequately thank them for this. 

This paper does not attempt to describe all the installations which have been used in searching for stored chemical information but rather notes certain typical ones which give a picture of the present status of mechanical methods. For the most part, successfully operating installations have been limited to individual or industrial files covering a somewhat restricted field, although developments in projects of the U. S. Patent Office, Australian Patent Office, and American Society for Metals embrace wider areas of subject matter. 

Information concerning these names and the approval and acceptability of their use as coined common names for these specific chemicals has been filed by the society with the Trade-Mark Division of the U. S. Patent Office to pre-empt the use of the names as trademarks.

Research articles of interest to biochemists may appear in many types of research journals. Research libraries do not have the funds necessary to subscribe to every journal, nor do scientists have the time to survey every current journal copy for articles of interest. Two publications that help scientists to keep up with published articles are Chemical Titles (published every 2 weeks by the American Chemical Society) and the weekly Current Contents available in hard copy and computer disks (published by the Institute of Science Information). The Life Science edition of Current Contents is the most useful for biochemists. The computer revolution has reached into the chemical and biochemical literature, and most college and university libraries now subscribe to computer bibliographic search services. One such service is STN International, the scientific and technical information network. This on-line system allows direct access to some of the world s largest scientific databases. The STN databases of most value to life scientists include BIOSIS Pre-views/RN (produced by Bio Sciences Information Service covers original research reports, reviews, and U.S. patents in biology and biomedicine), CA (produced by Chemical Abstracts service covers research reports in all areas of chemistry), MEDLINE, and MEDLARS (produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and Index Medicus, respectively cover all areas of biomedicine). These networks provide on-line service and their databases can be accessed from personal computers in the office, laboratory, or library. Some...
