CD-ROM: Abstract of JCE: CD 1997 Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM, 1997 The Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM contains the text and graphics for all the articles, features, and reviews published in the Journal of Chemical Education. This 1997 issue of the series includes all twelve issues of 1997 and the September–December issues of 1996. Future CDs in this series will be published at the beginning of each year. Each will contain all of the issues printed during the preceding year. Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM is formatted so that all figures and tables in articles printed from the CD retain as much as possible of their original appearance. Each article starts at the top of the page for improved appearance both on screen and in print. All pages of the Journal that contain editorial content, including the front covers, tables of contents, letters, and reviews, are included. Also included are abstracts (when available) and keywords for all articles and supplementary materials currently available only through JCE Online. Where available, color graphics have been substituted for the black and white or grayscale versions that were used in the printed Journal.
The table of contents of each issue is linked to the abstract or key words for the article, which are in turn linked to the full text of the articles. References in the Chemical Education Today Section (found in the front of each issue) to articles elsewhere in the issue are also linked to the article. WWW addresses and email addresses in this section are also linked. If you have Internet access and a WWW browser and email utility, you can go directly to the Web site or prepare to send a message with a single mouse click.
Searching and Linking
JCE: CD 1997 will be available in January 1998. There is an order form inserted in this issue that provides prices and other ordering information. In order to qualify for discounts, current subscribers must include their subscriber number on the order form. You can find your subscriber number on your Journal mailing label just above your name.

JCE: CD is fully searchable for any word, partial word, or phrase. Successful searches produce a listing of articles that contain the requested text. Individual articles can be quickly accessed from this list.
Clicking on an item in the table of contents takes you to the abstract or keyword description of the article. From there you can go to the full text of the article as shown above.

If you received a $10 certificate for completing and returning the user questionnaire included with JCE: CD 1996, remember to include it with your order for JCE: CD 1997. About the Issue The Journal of Chemical Education on CD-ROM has proved to be a useful tool for chemical educators. Like the Computerized Index to the Journal of Chemical Education (1) it will help you to locate articles on a particular topic or written by a particular author. In addition, having the complete article on the CD-ROM provides added convenience. It is no longer necessary to go the library, locate the Journal issue, and read it while sitting in an uncomfortable chair. With a few clicks of the mouse you can scan an article on your computer monitor, print it, if it proves interesting, and read it in any setting you choose.
