Center of Scientific Information of the Chemistry Department of Moscow State University
The Center of Scientific Information of the Chemistry Department of Moscow
State University was established in 1986, pioneered by O.A. Reutov (the
Head of the Chair of Organic Chemistry, Member of the Academy of Sciences of
the USSR), V.M. Potapov (Professor of Chemistry), M.A. Kazankova (the
Chairperson of the University Library Board, Associate Professor of Chemistry)
and Yu.Ya. Kuzyakov (the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, Professor of
Chemistry).

Our Work
Advanced research in modern chemistry has become virtually impossible to carry
on without an extensive search for the relevant information in the enormous
ocean of knowledge accumulated by humankind. If it were not for the powerful
computer and networking technology, scientists could never cope with the
problem far more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. To develop and
maintain state-of-art information technology facilities and to help the faculty
and students efficiently use the facilities in their research work was the
primary purpose the Center of Scientific Information was founded for.
We:
- look for and collect sources of chemistry information available from
the Internet;
- answer questions of 'where I can find information on...?' type;
- purchase chemistry databases on CDs from world's leading information
institutions to make them available for the faculty and students;
- perform online search in Chemical Abstracts' (through STN
International) and All-Russian Institute for Scientific and Technical
Information (VINITI) databases for the faculty;
- run the Chemistry Department's Web server
Currently we are working on a project called The Chemnet. The
Chemnet, a working prototype of which already exists, is to become a
corporate network to pool the resources of information on chemistry from
many Russian academic institutions. In turn, The Chemnet itself will
become a part of the network that links together all Universities and other
academic institutions in Russia.
