This guide to using Chemical Abstracts both in print form and on line provides the key to successful literature searches. The author explains the organization of Chemical Abstracts, illustrates how to obtain ''hidden,'' abbreviated information, and shows how to develop problem-oriented search strategies. Numerous examples from many areas of chemistry are cited. The book also presents all the necessary facts about computer-readable files, online access to Chemical Abstract Services, and the suppliers of these services. Many examples of searches in CAS ONLINE clarify the difference between searches in printed literature and in online services and demonstrate proper techniques for solving common research problems.
