A survey of chemistry departments in 1983 found that one of the biggest problems when teaching chemistry was the lack of teaching materials. Therefore, the American Chemical Society created a bibliography of sources for the available teaching materials. The included bibliography updates the original version. Sources are listed by categories such as chemical information overviews, sources for specific chemistry areas, sources for specific types of resources, teaching journal articles and discussions of particular resources. A listing of available assistance is also included.

Describes some support programs and materials that facilitate preparation of an effective and inexpensive classroom program on online searching of the chemical literature. Presents more than 20 databases by type of database and subject area. Discusses practice files and overall cost. (MVL)
