OCLC's netLibrary (http://www.oclc.org/netlibrary/) includes a number of chemistry-related ebooks, some of which are listed below. I believe that in our library system, readers can only read two hours of text at a time. According to the netLibrary web site, eBook checkout times are set by a library's netLibrary administrator and are not set by netLibrary specifically.

Subject: [chemweb] Ebooks in chemistry
The list of chemistry titles at eg
http://www.ebooks.com/subjects/88.smm
is looking impressive (although at first glance, so are the prices).
Has anyone bitten the bullet and recommended etexts for student courses etc
(or actually know anyone who has purchased such?)
Mind you, when one looks at the formats available for ebooks
(http://www.ebooks.com/help/tools/readers.smm) you have to wonder whether
it represents a real advance from print.

Dear all,
We are proud to announce the release of Escher NG 1.0, freely downloadable
at www.ddl.unimi.it
ESCHER Next Generation (NG) is an enhanced version of the original ESCHER
protein-protein automatic docking system developed in 1997 by Gabriele
Ausiello, Gianni Cesareni and Manuela Helmer Citterich. The new release,
with a reengineered code, includes some new features:
- Protein-protein and DNA-protein docking capability.
- Fast surface calculation based on the NSC algorithm. No external software
are required.
- Only two PDB files are required as input.
- Parallel code. ESCHER NG is one of the first docking software that take
full advantages of the multiprocessor hardware. Tested on two processor
systems, ESCHER runs about 1.8 time faster than an equivalent single
processor workstations (same CPU and same clock). These performances can be
increased optimizing the code that was not originally developed to the
parallel execution. ESCHER NG can run also on single processor systems in
sequential mode.
- Language localization.
The Win32 version is included in the latest VEGA OpenGL package and in the
full package we can find the source code and the executables for Win32,
Irix6.2, Linux, AmigaOS.
Best regards
Giulio Vistoli and Alessandro Pedretti
Dear all,
We are proud to announce the release of VEGA1.5.1 release that is freely
downloadable at www.ddl.unimi.it. Among the several new functions we would
like to focus your attention on the capability to add the hydrogens, on the
complete 3D molecular editor with fragment libraries and on the database
engine.
New features:
- Chem3D loader.
- Accelrys archive file (.arc) support in the trajectory analysis.
- Capability to add the hydrogens.
- RMSD calculation in the trajectory analysis.
- CHARMM lipid and GRID force field templates.
- POPC lipid bilayer cluster in crystal and solid phase.
New OpenGL features:
- ESCHER NG and ESCHER NG Plugin: protein-protein and DNA-protein docking
system.
- Database engine for directory, sdf and zip files.
- Complete 3D molecular editor with fragment libraries.
- Multiple workspaces.
- Remove residue/s dialog box.
- Molecule place dialog box.
- Fix/merge molecules.
- Multiple Mini Editor and Graph Editor windows.
- Now the centroids can be updated dynamically or kept fixed.
- The residue renumbering is now available for all atoms and for the
selected atoms only.
Best regards

Hi,
December's MOTM is sulfur dioxide SO2, which is one of the major
components of acid rain. It has been written by Mike Thompson from
Uppingham School, and is available in all common formats.
