Reaction Databases and related reaction information sources have greatly helped synthesis chemists in recent years. Now, however, there is so much electronic information available, from so many sources, it is often difficult to efficiently search for the "relevant information". This session will focus on advances in tools, techniques, and technology for more efficient searching and organization of reaction information for the organic chemists. Example topics are listed, but not limited to, those below: * New searching applications and functionality for reaction retrieval * Reaction registration and building of "in-house" databases * New types of data sources for reaction information * New database models and integration of different types of data sources. * Tools or methods for classification or organization of reaction information - either at the database level or post-search handling The format will be 30-minute talks (this includes question time). The online submission system (OASYS) for New York is now active, at: To submit an abstract, please go to this website and select the "advances in reaction searching". Anyone without web access who wishes to submit an abstract can contact me. I look forward to receiving submissions to this symposium. Please contact me if you have any questions on this symposium.
