ACS in Focus ebooks are: 

• Four to eight hour primers for beginning and seasoned scientists that need a quick start to a topic outside of their expertise.
• Topics include emerging and cross-disciplinary subjects not traditionally taught in an undergraduate chemistry curriculum.
• In an instructional setting, these works bridge the gap between textbooks and literature.
• Digital-only to take advantage of hyperlinks, pop-up glossary, videos, and animations.
• eReader is part of ACS Publications content suite and enables the reader to learn when it suits them, on or offline.

Dimensions is a large citation and abstract database that covers all subject areas and provides free access to citations from research publications. Stanford has a subscription to Dimensions Plus, a fee-based service, that covers millions of research publications connected by more than 1.4 billion citations, supporting grants, datasets, clinical trials, patents, and policy documents.

A major theme emerging from the December 2020 NIH Workshop on Ultra Large Chemistry Databases is the essential role of the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) in our ability to link and query across large and diverse chemistry data resources.  Therefore, we now seek to bring the chemistry community together for an update on the development of the InChI and a discussion of its use in chemistry, biochemistry, and related research domains.  Speakers will report on developments in the InChI field, usage of InChI in their organization, as well as challenges and areas not yet covered by InChI.  The virtual workshop is scheduled for three half-days and will include short talks and panel discussions.
