The Dictionary of Carbohydrates is published together with a fully searchable CD-ROM. Space considerations have precluded the inclusion of indexes other than the Name Index and the Molecular Formula index in the hard-copy version of The Dictionary of Carbohydrates. These were considered to be the most useful types of indexing for users primarily wishing to locate carbohydrates. In contrast, the CD-ROM contains searchable indexes on the following 33 fields ... 

Thermodex An Index of Selected Thermodynamic and Physical Property Resources http // www.lib.utexas.edu/thermodex/ (accessedNovember 10,2011). ThermoDex from the Mallet Chemistry Library, University of Texas-Austin is a freely searchable index to printed and Web-based compilations of thermochemical and thermophysical data. The ThermoDex home page also provides a guide to Finding Thermodynamic Information/Where to Start, which lists some of the standard handbooks and proprietary databases that are not indexed as well as those that are indexed. Searches for compounds, or preferably compound types, linked to a specific physical property or properties, display a list of handbooks that may contain data of interest. Actual data values are not displayed. ThermoDex records include the book s title, a brief abstract defining the scope and arrangement, properties and types of compounds, etc. Web datasets include URL links. While based primarily on the holdings of UT-Austin s Mallet Chemistry Library, most of these resources will be available in most university and major industrial libraries. 

National Environmental Publications Internet Site (NEPIS) http //www.epa.gov/nepis/ (accessed July 11, 2010). Keyword searchable index and full text site for over 35,000 U.S. digital titles of EPA books, reports, and documents. EPA s print publications are available through the National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP), and EPA s digital publications are stored in the National Enviromnental Publications Internet Site (NEPIS) database. 

Publications of this kind are described as non-original. They are abstracting services and handbooks that catch the primary literature, condense the important contents, and make this information available (searchable). Secondary literature is not evaluated and is provided in both printable and electronic forms. Examples are Gmelin, Beilstein, Citations Chemisches Zentralblatt, Chemical Abstracts, or Science Citation Index handbooks include Houben-Weyl, and Landolt Bomstein.

Besides the worldwide WPI database, Derwent provides on the ORBIT system the USPatents database, a bibhographic file of patent front page and cl aim information for U.S. patents since 1971. Derwent also produces a biotechnology database, GENESEQ, that indexes sequence stmetures of proteins or nucleic acids disclosed specifically or genetically in patents. This database is searchable with special sequence software on the InteUiGenetics system, and is a new addition to STN s database catalog. 

Visit gopher //quasar.tach.net 3020/71/msds. This is the Vermont state SIRI Web. You will find a searchable (manufacturer or product name) gopher index of MSDSs. 

Environmental RouteNet provides a single gateway to the world s foremost databases and information sources available on the Internet. The sendee includes searchable links to hundreds of carefully-screened environmentally-related resources, selected and indexed by the editors at Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. In addition, the site provides access to proprietaiy environmentally-related databases and to daily updates of environmentally-related news stories, regulations and legislation, plus much, much more. 

All data must, of course, be searchable, retrievable, and subject to acceptance or rejection based on both automated and retrospective QC analysis. Reports must be flexible in content yet easily assembled, intuitively understandable, and easily shared with appropriate security and yes, it would be nice if the reports themselves could become, like the assay protocols, version controlled, searchable documents residing in an appropriately indexed relational database. These are just the basic requirements. 

These databases are a rich source of information, yet they do not capture an element of interest, namely the biological endpoint there is no searchable field to identify, in a quantitative manner, what is the target-related activity of a particular compound. Such information is important if one considers that (a) not all chemotypes indexed in patent databases are indeed active - some are just patent claims with no factual basis and that (b) not aU chemotypes disclosed as active are equally active, or selective for that matter, on the target of choice. Furthermore, should one decide to pursue a certain interaction hotspot in a given ligand-receptor structure (assuming good structure-activity models are available), it would be very convenient to mine structure-activity databases for similar chemotypes to use as potential bioisosteric replacements. 

Chemical Substructure Databases. Several patent databases are searchable by chemical substructure. These are designed to give higher relevance of retrieval when searching chemical compounds than the bibliographic or lull-text databases. They include MPHARM. WPIM (World Patents Index Markuslil. and MARPAT. 

U.S. Patents. This file, produced by Derwent, Inc., covers U.S. patents from 1971 to the present. The database includes all bibliographic and front page information and the text of all claims. (From 1971 to 1974 the claims from many patents were not available from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) source tapes, and therefore are not included.) The complete claim text can be searched from 1971 but can be printed only from 1982. Tides and patentee names are present in their original form, neither expanded nor standardized. There is no enhanced indexing. Examiner citations are directly searchable, and USPTO classification is updated when the tapes are received from the Patent Office. 

A monthly subject- and author-indexed bibliography information computerized and searchable via MEDLINE (Table 9)... 

On TOXLINE, field names are identified by a two-letter mnemonic. A list of ETIC fields and their field identifiers on TOXLINE appears in Table 10. If the two-letter identifier is not used in searching, retrieval defaults to free-text searching of an index created by single words from all searchable fields. Thus, if one does not use identifiers, a search for acetylsalicylic acid must be worded ETIC AND ACETYLSALICYLIC AND ACID. Individual words in only the TI, KW, and AB fields are searchable via text words (TW). Indexing terms in most of the technical fields have been put into the keyword (KW) field. 

The Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, commonly referred to as CASSI, gives details of the journals and related literature cited in Chemical Abstracts since 1907. In addition, CASSI contains entries for those publications covered by Chemische Zentralblatt and its predecessors from 1830-1969 and the publications cited by Beilstein prior to 1907. The most recent printed cumulative edition of CASSI spanned the period 1907-2004. Printed supplements to CASSI were published quarterly from 2005 to 2009. The fourth quarterly supplement each year cumulated and replaced the preceding three supplements, and was effectively an annual update. Publication of the printed edition of CASSI ceased in 2009, but CASSI remains available and updated in a searchable CD-ROM format (CASSI on CD, first produced in the 1990s). 

Entries in the Registry Handbook list CAS registry numbers in numerical sequence, and then-associated CA Index Names and molecular formulae. Concomitantly with the printed edition, CAS developed an online searchable database of registry numbers, CAS Registry. By April 2010, this database contained the details of over 53,000,000 organic and inorganic substances and 61,722,079 sequences, and the most recent CAS registry number was 1217435-73-8.
