Teaching Chemical Information:
Tips and Techniques

— June 1997 —

How to Start

Start with basics

• Many undergraduate students have no information or library skills;
• Many graduate students have limited skills.

Start on a small-scale

• No need to begin with a full-blown program.

Do best you can with what you have:

• Instructor’s interest, expertise;
• Resources available at own school.
