Course objectives
Main objectives of the course can be summarized as follows: to learn fundamentals of chemical information searching; to understand specifity of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of information and some general rules for searching the literature. to know how to use the main tools of on-line searching the databases accessible in the Chemistry Department - Web of Scince (ISI products), SciFinder Scholar (CA+), Reaxys (Beilsteins and Gmelins database); to get brief peace of information about CCDC searching; to learn about main sources of biochemical and enviromental infomations on Internet.
Learning outcomes (in Czech)
