==Checklist of items==

* '''Location and time of Lectures and demonstrations:'''  Thursday 7th October (09:00-10:00 and again at 14.00-14.45) in the Pippard, and then  Friday 8th October (14.00-15.00), and Friday 15th October (10.00-11.00 and again 12.00-13.00) all in Pippard Theatre. 
* '''Relevance of this course:''' As of  October, 2010, [http://www.cas.org/cgi-bin/cas/regreport.pl there were]:
** 55,474,701 organic and inorganic molecules and substances
** and 62,115,210 biological ''sequences'',
** undertaking 40,036,030	 described ''reactions'', and
** for which there are >2 billion reported experimental ''properties''
** described in >1 million scientific articles,  250,000 patents and 4500 books being published '''each year'''
** across 10,000 chemistry  ''journals'' and ''databases''
*Learning how to find the  '''''needle-in-the-haystack''''' is an essential for any chemist!
* '''Login-IDs:''' You will require your local id, i.e. the one you use for e-mail and which you have just been issued with. Please ensure that you have this id and its password available for laboratory sessions. 
* '''Presentation of Course:''' A set of Web Wiki pages linking access to chemical information sources. Some of these sources require pre-installed programs on the computer you are using, and a [http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/it/3_inst.html suitably configured] Web Browser: we suggest using FireFox (on all platforms), one or two facilities may cause problems with Internet Explorer 8.0 (Windows only).
* '''Structure of the Course:'''

* '''Lab Slots:''' You will be allocated one of four groups ({{pdf|1-2010.pdf| Groups A1, A2, B1, B2}}).  Labs take place on  Monday and  Thursdays , with two 3hr sessions per student.
** Group A1 has a lab in room 135 on Thursday 14 Oct, 4th Nov.,  14.00-17.00.
** Group B1 has a lab in room 135 on Monday 11 Oct and 1 Nov., 14.00-17.00
**Group A2  has a lab in room 135 on Thursday 21 Oct, 18 Nov ., 14.00-17.00
**Group B2  has a lab in room 135 on Monday 18 Oct,  15 Nov., 14.00-17.00
*Please feel free to use either the Computer room OR the study area on level 2 outside of these hours. The latter area is NOT formally reserved and any student can use it at any time for this purpose if a computer is free. Students doing course and study work always have priority over students using the computers for non-chemistry related uses. Two demonstrators will be present during your three sessions.
* '''Lab coursework:''' You will be expected to work through the [[it:coursework| examples]] at your own pace; do not feel you have to complete everything in the scheduled sessions.
