Before we start.

• Where is my battlefield ?

• Who is my competitor ?

• What is my essential tool ?

• What is the efficient approach ?

Contents and Feature of Database.. - What are we
concerned about?

• Comprehensive

• Precise

• Reliable

• Authoritative

4

• CAS, the global leader in chemical information,
  and a division of the American Chemical Society
• Provides the most comprehensive databases of
  disclosed research in chemistry and related
  sciences, including the world's largest
  collection of substance information, the CAS
  REGISTRYSM
• Indexes and summarizes chemistry-related
  information from scientific journals, patents,
  conference proceedings, and other pertinent
  documents.

• Around 900 PhD involve in the reference edit.
• More than 1,500 Univ. around the world use
  SciFinder from 2008.

Reading versus Searching

• There is a big difference between what we read
  and what we search.

• We read
• a single document
• all the details.
• It doesnt matter what terms the authors used. We
  have the document!

• We search
• Millions of documents.
• We dont know what terms the authors used.
• (We have to add a lot of terms to cover all
  the variations)
