<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from crisp Philadelphia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Special Libraries Association (SLA) will be meeting in Cleveland, OH, in mid-June. The SLA Chemistry Division will be offering two pre-conference continuing education classes, focused on chemistry and chemical information and geared
towards information professionals who are new to either the chemical sciences or chemical information. I’ve included the descriptions of the courses below, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. You do not need to be a member
of SLA to take the classes (although it’s cheaper if you are), and you do not need to register for the rest of the conference, either. For more registration information, please see
<a href="https://connect.sla.org/ac2019/schedule/continuingeducation">https://connect.sla.org/ac2019/schedule/continuingeducation</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Friday, June 14, 2019, 12:00 – 4:00 PM: Chemical Information Sources, Requests, and Reference
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the types of questions that chemical researchers ask and reference sources that can be used to answer them. It will provide an overview of the structure of the chemical literature,
types of reference sources in the chemical sciences, unique access points for chemical information, and strategies for an effective search. Informal lectures, interspersed with hands-on reference questions, will compare and describe the major chemical information
resources. The conversation and interaction between participants is one of the high-points of this course, which is appropriate for librarians and information professionals who are new to chemical information, as well as those with some experience in the
area.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Saturday, June 15, 2019, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM: Chemistry for the Non-Chemist Librarian<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is necessary that any information scientist with responsibilities for providing chemistry reference services understand the structure and language of chemistry. This course takes a hands-on approach to introduce learners to the basic
principles of the five major divisions of chemistry, chemical terminology and drawing, and other intellectual tools that chemists need to do their work, punctuated by real-life chemistry experiments that offer insight into the research process and acquisition
of research data. (We recommend wearing casual clothing, as some of the experiments can get a little messy!) It will be composed of four basic sections: an introduction to chemistry as a science, strategies for effective communication with chemists, basic
chemical concepts and research questions, and the ways in which chemists’ research needs dictate their information needs.
