CA S databases reach all-time high CA S scientists indexed nearly 1. 1 million documents for CA S databases in 2007, an all-time high. In the same span, more than 3. 1 million substance records were added to the CAS Registry ^SM, which reached a total of 33 million organic and inorganic substances by year end.

SciFinder^® now available on the Internet CAS introduced a Web version of the SciFinder^® research tool. With the Web version, installation of desktop client software is no longer required, thus reducing customers’ administrative costs and giving scientists speedier access to the latest SciFinder version.

SciFinder Scholar^™ use surges 10 percent SciFinder Scholar^™ was installed in 1,457 academic institutions in 55 countries by year-end 2007. This is a 10 percent increase from 2006. In the U.S. alone, SciFinder Scholar is now in use at more than 600 schools.

Society consolidates career services on Web Launched in October, the ACS Careers site, www.acs.org/careers, is a “one-stop” shop for our members’ career management and development needs. In addition to C&EN classifieds, the site is the place for employers to post jobs online in the ACS Careers Jobs database.

Employer participation at ACS career fairs soars In 2007, career fairs at ACS national meetings attracted 199 employers offering 1,546 positions. This record participation tops the previous high in 2004.

Two cutting-edge ACS journals debut In January, ACS began publishing The Journal of Physical Chemistry C. In its first year, this weekly published 2,653 articles. ACS Nano launched in August, quickly doubling in articles published each month. The online version of ACS Nano features a new design template that will be a model for future journal Web pages. These launches contributed to record growth in 2007 for ACS journals overall, with more than 31,000 articles published, 57 million full-text article downloads, and 34 million abstract downloads — a 26 percent increase since 2006.

C&EN goes digital In 2007, C&EN began publishing in a new, digital format that includes all of the same editorial content and advertising as the printed magazine, making it the “version of record” for readers worldwide who may not have access to the printed copy. Initially, this new delivery option is limited to C&EN subscribers and ACS members who reside outside of North America.
