Hello

I would like to invite you or your colleagues to submit abstracts for a CINF
session entitled 
"Advances in Reaction Searching", to be held at the next National ACS in New
York, Sept. 7-11, 2003.

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:

<http://oasys.acs.org/acs/226nm/cinf/papers/index.cgi>

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.
