Data sheets and employability sheets available to order

The Higher Education Academy, Physical Sciences Centre publishes physics and chemistry sheets containing useful data and equations for students and student employability handouts for physics, chemistry and forensic science.

If you would like multiple copies of these to give to your students, please e-mail the Centre, psc@hull.ac.uk, stating which of the handouts you require and how many.

In order for these to be delivered to you by the end of September, please let us know the numbers you require by 24th August.

Below are the links to electronic versions of the all the handouts. Please note the equation sheets are in the process of being re-designed. The link to the chemistry sheet gives an idea of how the final versions will look:

Structure Drawing: Raising the Bar

Structure drawing is an essential tool when searching for substances, reactions, and related information in the web version of SciFinder. In this session, we will:

* Provide a detailed overview of structure and reaction drawing options
* Illustrate how to apply minor drawing changes to significantly impact search results, including how to cast a wider net and how to focus an unwieldy answer set
* Share examples and specific tips from SciFinder structure drawing experts

Learn from your desktop or gather your colleagues and share the e-Seminar demonstration in an auditorium or meeting room. You can submit questions at any time during the e-Seminar.
