5. Chemical Abstracts Services?
(CAS)
 Its is an index of the scientific literature
in chemistry and related fields, abstract
for almost all the articles.
 Available in print , microform, and CD-
ROM
 For online access scifinder scholar and
other databases of CAS

6. History
 Associated with the American Chemical Society in
since 1907 in columbus USA.
 In 1980 CA became Chemical Abstracts Service
(CAS) and an operating division of the American
Chemical Society.
 1995 CAS introduced Scifinder for direct access.

7. Cont…
 In 2010 STN introduce for depth of chemical
reaction and largest collection information
introduced STN.

8. Purpose
 The purpose of CA is to help scientists benefit from
the published work of their colleagues around the
world by monitoring, abstracting and indexing the
world's chemistry-related literature.

9. Strength of CAS
Abstracts (CA) aims to world all chemistry to
index -relevant publications
summarize for the Chemical Abstracts are 10,000
magazines , books
50 languages dissertations, conference
proceedings, and patents from 27 national
organizations and Two international
organizations.
