Title: Chemistry for the Non-Chemist Librarian Date: Saturday, 11 June 2011 Time: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Instructors: Susan Cardinal (U. Rochester), Judith Currano (U. Pennsylvania) Summary: Any information scientist with responsibilities for providing chemistry reference services should understand the structure and language of chemistry. This course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the basic principles of the five major divisions of chemistry, chemical terminology and drawing, and other intellectual tools that chemists need to do their work. This course contains four sections: an introduction to chemistry as a science, strategies for effective communication with chemists, basic chemical concepts and research questions, and the ways in which chemists' research needs dictate their information needs. Ticket prices: Student Member $199 , SLA Member $299 , Non-Member $399 <hr> Title: Chemical Information Sources, Requests, and Reference Date: Sunday, 12 June 2011 Time: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Instructors: Judith Currano (U. Pennsylvania), Dawn French (Millennium Inorganic Chemicals) Summary: This hands-on course introduces learners to the types of questions that chemical researchers ask and reference sources that can be used to answer them. It will provide an overview of the structure of the chemical literature, types of reference sources in the chemical sciences, unique access points for chemical information, and strategies for an effective search. Informal lectures, interspersed with real-world reference questions, will compare and describe the major chemical information resources. Ticket prices: Student Member $99 , SLA Member $199 , Non-Member $299 <hr> Title: Extreme Structure Searching: Organics, Organometallics, Polymers, and Markush Date: Sunday, 12 June 2011 Time: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. Instructors: Denise Callihan (PPG Industries), Judith Currano (U. Pennsylvania) Summary: This course will introduce participants to specialized search techniques for small molecules in the chemical literature: profiling organic, organometallic and catalytic substances by substructure, applying structure and substructure search techniques to polymer searching, and using basic substructure and Markush search strategies for patent information retrieval. Participants will learn the basics of creating a substructure, progressing to more advanced techniques and recommendations of where, when, and how to use them. This will be followed by techniques of locating organometallics and polymers using the substructure techniques to patent searching, including learning the basics of Markush searching.

During the debate and voting period, I sent out a survey to the Chemistry Division to get your opinion on the name. Regardless of the final vote, we felt it was important to have a record of what the DCHE membership thought at the time, including how our division’s voting would compare with the larger association. We also asked about your knowledge of the Alignment Project, how you kept up with the debate and discussion before and during the vote, and how you felt SLA had handled the process. My thanks to the Executive and Advisory Boards for their feedback, as well as everyone who took the time to complete the survey.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8667984939155215023/posts/default/9011378961236589189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8667984939155215023/posts/default/9011378961236589189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dche.blogspot.com/2010/06/dche-survey-on-slas-2009-proposed-name.html' title='DCHE Survey on SLA's 2009 Proposed Name Change'/><author><name>Teri </name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16508123090512056472</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDzLZjUyVGm9V8c2U7YKWUbHeENmsmzDbH7qEn5PmIa_pe2K9QONgek7zA2DwDGaZedANgqOiRK4rFyFR8KQhh_Sq4nMwjcnWMvhwqNpnZ7vg38Ysn1-T12jliOYiQd7c/s220/im-icon-sigil-targaryen-48x48.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667984939155215023.post-2587918721905376733</id><published>2010-05-18T15:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-18T15:17:27.760-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2010 Conference"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Awards"/><title type='text'>2010 Sparks Award for Ye Li</title><content type='html'><a href="http://units.sla.org/division/dche/sparks.htm">2010 Marion E.

NEW STRATEGIC ALIGNMENTS In the currently recovering global economy, new cooperative arrangements are emerging to help our parent organizations or our core units--libraries, information centers, knowledge bases--adjust to rapidly evolving economic conditions. These developments may include new consortial initiatives, redesign of specific sectors of the workforce, outreach to new constituencies, innovative alliances between academe and the for-profit sector, or other collaborative scientific ventures. Come share pivotal steps of the process, changes in responsibilities or reporting relationships, and lessons learned from the success or failure of these ventures in the sciences. 2. SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS BEYOND AN ECONOMIC RECESSION How do we promote, preserve, and redesign our research and analytical services in 2010 and beyond ? Let's look at how new operational models (scientific, technical, engineering, and medical e-book vendors, formal and informal modes of scientific communication, intergovernmental initiatives) are evolving, what we can do to improve them, and projections for academe, business, and industry in the scientific environment. 3. INFORMATION LITERACY, USER INSTRUCTION, AND E-LEARNING IN THE SCIENCES DURING AND BEYOND THE RECESSION: NEW METHODS, NEW PARTICIPANTS, NEW TOOLS a. New tools and techniques for the interdisciplinary scientific information professional dealing with electronic management of citations, data, structures, graphical analysis, mapping, and/or presentations. Including innovative uses of social networking applications. b. Electronic demos, tutorials, games in the sciences Who produces them (publisher, in-house development) Who uses them? How are they funded, developed, publicized, marketed, and evaluated? What is their useful lifetime? c. Scientific Information Fluency What successes or failures have you encountered in teaching patrons – faculty, students, researchers, etc. – new ways of handling information in an all-electronic workflow, from the literature search to the discovery and publication process?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8667984939155215023/posts/default/1915961585364471377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8667984939155215023/posts/default/1915961585364471377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dche.blogspot.com/2010/02/call-for-posters-2010-conference.html' title='Call for Posters: 2010 Conference'/><author><name>Teri </name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16508123090512056472</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDzLZjUyVGm9V8c2U7YKWUbHeENmsmzDbH7qEn5PmIa_pe2K9QONgek7zA2DwDGaZedANgqOiRK4rFyFR8KQhh_Sq4nMwjcnWMvhwqNpnZ7vg38Ysn1-T12jliOYiQd7c/s220/im-icon-sigil-targaryen-48x48.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667984939155215023.post-5814024304761773881</id><published>2010-01-29T07:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T08:37:29.025-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2010 Conference"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chemistry"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="courses"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="education"/><title type='text'>2010 Chemistry Division CE Courses</title><content type='html'>Will you be at the Special Libraries Association 101st annual conference in New Orleans this June?
