One five-year index alone can number 100 volumes. Up until now, those searching for information have either had to make their way through the printed copies or attempt to do an on-line search, which can be expensive if someone is not adequately trained. Training workshops that teach how to conduct most basic searches are free and open to members of the community, as well as UB students, staff and faculty. ChemAbstracts staff also will custom-design training programs for companies or other institutions and offer them at the UB center. Training sessions will be held the first full week of every month at UB, beginning on March 7, from 9 a.m. to noon in Room 128 in the Undergraduate Library in Capen Hall.
Fees vary, depending on the type of training being offered.
