CA Student Edition is designed for undergraduate chemistry students
to become familiar with the chemical literature. The database, available
on the OCLC FirstSearch service, provides convenient, easy-to-use access
to electronic Chemical Abstracts information and is a complement to printed
CA or CA on CD.
CA Student Edition covers the variety of chemistry disciplines to which undergraduate chemistry students are likely to be exposed including chemical engineering, biochemistry, applied, general, macromolecular, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry. The selection of journals that make up CA Student Edition was chosen to be representative of CA as a whole.
CA Student Edition was enhanced August 1997 with the addition of 50 leading chemistry journals which are among those most often referenced by CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS (CA). With this enhancement, the database now covers a total of 246 journals, including all those published by the American Chemical Society (ACS), all journals recommended by the ACS Committee for Professional Training, and others suggested by academic users of CAS databases. With the inclusion of the 50 additional journals, the CA Student Edition database now contains more than 2 million records with bibliographic, indexing and abstract information and 200,000 dissertations since 1967.
CA Student Edition, available on an annual subscription basis, is priced to enable libraries to offer a tailored version of CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS to their undergraduates.
A complete list of the journals covered in CA Student Edition can be found on the CAS Web site at http://www.cas.org/New1/selist.html.
