Abstract

As a continuation in a series about chemical information instruction in academe, this article describes the results of the 1993 survey of information instruction activities in 390 United States chemistry departments conducted by the American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Chemical Information's Education Committee and makes comparisons with the previous 1984 survey. Current trends, especially in rapidly changing chemical resources, are indentified and resulting implications for information instruction programs are discussed. Ways of overcoming increasing costs of information resources are offered, as well as suggestions for involving faculty and librarians as active supporters and participants in such programs.
