ACS Style Guide available online
Since the UofC currently subscribes to the ACS All Publications Package (http://pubs.acs.org.ezproxy.lib.ucalgary.ca/page/4librarians/products/coreplus/index), we have access to the ACS Style Guide online.
If you happen to have a ChemWorx login (ACS membership NOT required), you also have access to the Style Guide.
A link to the Style Guide is also available on the Chemistry LibGuide Citing and Writing tab, http://libguides.ucalgary.ca/content.php?pid=62710&sid=461702

ACS Webinar: Chemistry in the Crime Lab - What They Don't Show You on CSI
A free webinar from ACS

ACS Webinars: Your Career GPS Series
What do a mysterious white power, a blood smear, and a moldy ham sandwich have in common? To the average person, probably not much, but to a forensic chemist, these items might tell quite a bit about what happened when, where, and why. Despite the mystical cachet with popular TV shows, forensic chemists usually need to be well-versed in the widest possible array of analytical technologies, and must be able to quickly adapt proven methods to new types of samples. Join us to learn the different disciplines within forensic chemistry, and get an in-depth perspective of day-to-day life in a forensic laboratory. Join live and you may also uncover a new secret…
About the speaker: Dr. Schaff has worked for the last eleven years as a forensic toxicologist with the Chemistry Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory. ...

ACS Mobile: a new iPhone application
:( They're charging $2.99 for it though.
From CHMINF-L:
American Chemical Society announces ACS Mobile – a new iPhone application delivering fast-breaking research reports, science news.
The new information delivery service, ACS Mobile, provides readers with an up-to-the-minute live stream of peer-reviewed research content published across the Society’s preeminent portfolio of scholarly research journals, and is augmented by “Latest News” from Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN) –– the Society’s industry-leading magazine and preferred source of online news for its more than 161,000 member professionals.
“In keeping with our mission as a provider of indispensable information to chemistry professionals worldwide, I am delighted that the ACS Publications Division and our Society’s IT experts are able to present ACS Mobile as a new information access option for our global audience of authors, reviewers, editors, customers and readers” said Dr. Brian Crawford, President of ACS Publications. “ACS Journals have a well-deserved reputation for high-quality, high-impact content as a result of rigorous scientific peer review and technical editing standards. Our XML-based publishing via an end-to-end digital workflow from submission to publication enables online publication times that are unrivalled, and this mobile capability now complements the Society’s award-winning web delivery platform for the benefit of the scientists we serve.”
“At ACS, we have made a deliberate decision to deliver a dynamic real-time index of published journal article content to mobile devices,” said Brandon Nordin, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Web Strategy for ACS Publications. “ACS Mobile is informed by our knowledge of current user behavior and preferences, and our understanding of the needs of today’s time-pressed research scientist.”
Nordin added that “the majority of our web users are between the ages of 20-40, and we find that one-third of those readers now use mobile devices to access the Internet. As ACS continues to move beyond the print format, our focus is on timely access to research and alternatives that help individuals to discover, filter, read and share information.”
Readers of ACS Journals will benefit from the following features of ACS Mobile:
ACS Mobile was built with traditional reader habits in mind –– such as browsing –– and the goal also of reinforcing the value of serendipity in information discovery. ACS Mobile can make a scientist’s daily commute, business travel, or time away from the desk or laboratory a more rewarding and productive experience. Our team at ACS Publications is already working on next stage development efforts that will extend the availability of this initial iPhone application to the recently announced Apple iPad, as well as to additional mobile operating systems and devices.”
A video demonstration of the features and functionality of ACS Mobile can be accessed at http://pubs.acs.org/r/acsmobile. The application is now available for individual purchase and download via the Apple iTunes Store for the introductory price of $2.99.
