This course introduces the Chemistry Major student to chemical information retrieval and requires two major term papers - one in the Fall semester, one in the Winter semester - each presented also in two short oral presentations. Students will use SciFinder/Chemical Abstracts to perform searching in structure/substructure, reaction, and bibliographic databases. The literature searching will be used in preparing the two term papers, chosen from a list of topics approved by the Chemistry Department, under the direction of a different member of faculty for each.





Chemistry Major students must enrol in CHE 277 as part of their degree program and may only take this course in their final year. Students receiving credit for CHE277 cannot also receive credit for CHE477. Staff
