The new Equipment Buyers Guide, bound into the back of this issue, is also a new resource of JCE Internet. This resource provides an online source for the information contained in the printed guide. Placing this information online allows us to regularly update it and to provide live links to the suppliers’ WWW sites. The organization of the online version parallels that of the print version. There is an alphabetical list of suppliers and a categorical listing. Links to these lists are provided on every page in the left-hand navigation bar. To quickly find information about a particular supplier, you click Supplier List, click the letter that begins the supplier’s name, and scroll through the list to find the supplier. To find which suppliers provide a particular type of instrument or equipment, use the Categories link; click the category of the equipment you are looking for and then click the link to a supplier. You will then be taken to an alphabetical supplier listing page where you can scroll until you find the particular supplier of the item for which you are looking. Once you have found a supplier, the online Equipment Buyers Guide gives you the traditional contact information. But in addition, you also get one-click access to the WWW sites of the suppliers that have them. Depending on the site, you should be able to find information about the items that you seek and may even be able to order the items online! We think that you will find the online version of the Equipment Buyers Guide useful. To make it more useful, please send your suggestions, any errors or omissions you find, and any additional categories to the editor at

JCE Online in ‘99 JCE Online is your online source of “all things JCE”. In order to provide you with an even more useful online resource, JCE Online is undergoing a facelift that will be unveiled at the start of the 1999. In addition to a modified look, we have upgraded the navigation system to provide you with additional links to get you to the information you are looking for more quickly. The new navigation system will retain a menu bar and the left-hand navigation bar. The menu bar across the top of the page will provide quick access to “global” reader service, author, and reviewer information. It will also provide links to a new site map that will give you an overall view of the organization OnlineProblems and a new The Conceptual Questions of andJCE Challenge WebsiteSite canwide be found JCE Online at http://JChemEd.chem.wisc.edu/ searchat engine.
The left-hand navigation bar will contain context-sensitive links, sensitive to the specific areas of JCE Online: Journal, Software, Internet, Chem Ed Today. Generally, there will be several more links here than in the current version of JCE Online. We invite you to take a look at the facelift in progress and encourage you to provide suggestions and comments. Please share your suggestions with us, but keep in mind that this is a work in progress and not all links will be working and not all features will be implemented. Email your suggestions to
