What is the CCIIM at Indiana University?
The Clearinghouse for Chemical Information Instructional
Materials (CCIIM) collects and distributes items that
were developed to instruct you in the use of chemical information
sources. These were created by chemistry or science
librarians, chemists, publishers, or others. On the other hand,
SIRCh
(Selected Internet Resources for Chemistry) contains links to factual
sources
on the Web where you can get answers to questions you might have.
The CCIIM was initiated by the chemistry
information
divisions of the American Chemical Society and the Special Libraries
Association. Their home pages are linked to the icons at the top of this
page.
Three types of material are accessible through this site:
- Files available on the Internet (outside Indiana University)
Many of the titles listed in the CCIIM are freely available on the Internet.
All of those are hotlinked through this Web site.
- Files on the Indiana University server (also hotlinked).
- Paper copies
Although paper copies of some older materials are available for the cost of
photocopying (see order form), the CCIIM is
no longer accepting contributions in this format.
Future contributors are urged to submit
URLs or files to Gary Wiggins WIGGINS@INDIANA.EDU
for consideration of placement in the CCIIM directory.

TOC
The following notes will help you interpret the lists of items in
the CCIIM Table of Contents.
CLASSIFICATION SCHEME
Items in the CCIIM are arranged
according to a numbered subject classification from 00 to 15. In
addition, there are separate sections in the 30s for major tools or
databases and in the 50s, 60s, and 70s for pedagogical material related to
chemical information. Commercial products within sections are numbered with
an extra "1" at the beginning (e.g., 109-02, 131-09, etc.). Those are
available only from the
commercial source which produced them, unless they are freely accessible
on the Internet. For the most part, paper copies in these categories are
free from the commercial producers.
A dot and a number following the accession number indicates the
date of the last revision for those items that are directly accessible on
the Internet, for example:
-
31-35.795 CAS ONLINE Academic Program Hours/1
Wiggins/Indiana U.
The dates are in the form 195, 295, 395.... o95, n95, d95, with numbers
for the first 9 months and letters for the final three months.
Numbers following the slashes (/) after the titles indicate the
number of pages in the documents. See the order
form for price information of photocopies.
A second type of number may be encountered for commercial products, for
example:
ITEMS FROM THE CDC
The items from the Centers for Disease Control in Section 12 are
updated very frequently and are available free from:
- Information Resources Management Group
- Centers for Disease Control
- Chamblee 27 F-29
- Atlanta, Ga 30333
- Phone: 404-488-4588.
