I asked our librarian if they had a policy on CD ROMs, and they said
because they receive so few, no policy had been decided yet. They may
catalogue them as books, but keep them restricted behind the counter.
This might work if the number of CDs remains low, but if it increases
substantially they may have to develop a new strategy.
One option might be a networked computer with a CD ROM juke box?
But this might be too costly...
Regards,

We would be grateful if you could bring to the attention of any
"organometallic" chemists in your organisation who might be interested
in submitting an article or poster to the ECTOC-3 conference that the
registration process for abstracts is now open;
http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/ectoc/ectoc-3/ectoc_sub.html
The deadline for submitting an abstract is April 25th, 1997.

Those of you who received the RSC journal ChemComm issue 6 might have noticed
a CD-ROM attached to the inside at the back. We (ie the CLIC project team)
are intrigued in particular to
any response to the CD that your institutional librarian or IT
officer might have.
Our librarian for example actually noticed the bulge, extracted the CD,
and placed
it in a small box containing 2-3 others (mostly those that seem to come
attached to textbooks of organic chemistry nowadays). Because
the number of such CDs for chemistry remains very low, our library
is still developing a policy for how to deal with them, how to "catalogue"
them, and in general bring them to the attention of users. The
"precious" CDs, ie Dictionary of Organic Compounds etc, are all
in the central library.
If anyone has any feedback from their librarian etc on how the
ECHET CD was received, and what policy if any exists to process
such products, please let the RSC know at;
