ASM Handbooks down – use @ Knovel
The ASM Handbooks Online site is not accessible for UC campuses, but should be restored next week. In the meantime, we do have access to all 22 volumes’ content at the Knovel site.
REAXYS (new platform for Beilstein and Gmelin)
As of January 2011, Reaxys has replaced CrossFire as the portal to access Beilstein and Gmelin databases. Reaxys is an entirely web-based application that combines the content of Beilstein, Gmelin and the Patent Chemistry databases. It works on PCs and Macs, and you only need a plugin if you want to use a structure editor other than the one built into Reaxys (MarvinSketch). Reaxys works on IE, Firefox and Safari, and it requires Java Runtime Environment 5.0 or later.

Patents Workshop Dec. 2
Learn how patents protect your intellectual property and what rights they confer. Find out about the basics of the patent application process, how to read and interpret patent documents, and why international patents matter.
