ChemSpider was developed with the intention of aggregating and indexing available sources of chemical structures and their associated information into a single searchable repository and making it available to everybody, at no charge. There are many tens of chemical structure databases such as literature data, chemical vendor catalogs, molecular properties, environmental data, toxicity data, analytical data etc. and no single way to search across them. Despite the diversity of databases available online their inherent quality, accuracy and completeness is lacking in many regards. ChemSpider was established to provide a platform whereby the chemistry community could contribute to cleaning up the data, improving the quality of data online and expanding the information available to include data such as reaction syntheses, analytical data and experimental properties. ChemSpider has now grown into a database of over 20 million chemical substances integrated with over 300 disparate data sources, many of these directly supporting the Life Sciences. This presentation will provide an overview of our efforts to improve the quality of data online, to provide a foundation for the semantic web for chemistry and to provide access to a set online tools and services to support access to these data. I will also discuss how ChemSpider is being used to enhance Semantic Publishing in Chemistry at RSC.

Preliminary findings from OECD field visits for the project: Enhancing EU Mining Regional Ecosystems to Support the Green Transition and Secure Mineral Raw Materials Supply.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

DOI Library Training Session Presentation - Locating Scientific Government Information on the Web
1. Locating Scientific
Government Information
on the Web: When
Google Isn't Enough
Wednesday, January 25 2017
Presented by Shannon Lynch, Law Librarian
US Department of the Interior Library
https://www.doi.gov/library
Mary_Lynch@ios.doi.gov (202)208-3686
2. Department of Interior databases are
available to all DOI employees
For those of you who work at the Department of Interior, I want to make sure
you know you have access to a great deal of scientific content and journals
through subscription databases. You can find those databases on the Library’s
homepage, https://www.doi.gov/library and move your cursor over
Databases. These are accessible to all DOI employees nationwide, working at
a computer with a DOI IP address, so they are accessible even if you are
working at home.
You can scroll down and see a list of databases too. And if there is a specific
journal you know you need, you can use the feature “Find Electronic Journals
By Title” to see which of our databases has the journal you are looking for.
If you do not work at DOI, you can come in to our library in Washington DC
and access these databases using four public terminals we have here. We are
open Monday through Friday from 7:45 am to 5 pm and you can call us at
(202)208-5815 for any additional details.
3. The Deep Web – What is it, and what does it
mean for finding scientific information?
The Deep Web is the part of the World Wide Web that is not discoverable by
means of standard search engines, including password-protected or dynamic
pages, databases, and encrypted networks. Essentially, there is a lot of
content that exists on the Internet that won’t be retrieved by search engines
The Deep Web is not the same as the Dark Web, where IP addresses of the
servers that run them are hidden, allowing people to anonymously trade in
illegal goods and services, share hacked email addresses, and other nefarious
activities. We are not going to the Deep Web for our scientific information!
Some examples of websites that are part of the Deep Web include LexisNexis
and Westlaw Next, ScienceDirect, and many government websites that
include databases. The web page may be indexed by search engines, but it
can’t necessarily access database content and display it to you in search
results
4. Starting point: Using Google Most
Effectively with Search Operators
If you are looking for a specific scientific document, report, or subject matter and you know
the government agency that created it, or one likely to have it, it is worth running a Google
search using Google operators such as site or filetype. You can find a list of commonly used
Google search operators at https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en
In the search bar, type the search terms (perhaps the article title, or whatever information
you have), and use the site operator – site:doi.gov
So for example, if you are looking for more information on a research project about bats that
you think someone at the Department of Interior conducted, you can type bats site:doi.gov
(making sure you do not leave a space after the colon) and see what comes up, including this
research project, Causes and Consequences of Bat Fatalities at Wind Turbines, Research
Project: RB00CNG.17.0
Note that if you just Google bats “Department of Interior,” this research project is not one
of your top thirty search results and maybe not at all – it is likely housed on the Deep Web
Also note: There are often relevant results beyond your first page of search results. Don’t be
afraid to keep clicking! You can also change the word order of your search, or sign out of any
Google accounts you are signed into, to change your search results
5. Google Scholar
Google Scholar is another excellent place to search if you are looking for
journal articles, including peer-reviewed journal articles.
It lives at https://scholar.google.com/
You can also use it so search for patents and/or case law
If you use Chrome, and are a frequent Google Scholar user, you can install a
button so there is an icon you can click on each time to use it.
6. Google is not the only Search Engine
Believe it or not, Google is not the only search engine! And searching in
different ways may bring you back different results.
There are many other search engines in the world, including DuckDuckGo,
Bing, Yahoo!, Ask.com, Lycos, and Wolfram Alpha
There are also metasearch engines, which searches using more than one
search engine at a time, so you don’t have to type things in to several
different search engines. These have advantages and disadvantages, but try
Deeperweb.com or Dogpile.com
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s $45 billion philanthropy organization is
making its first acquisition in order to make it easier for scientists to search,
read and tie together more than 26 million science research papers. The Chan
Zuckerberg Initiative is acquiring Meta, an AI-powered research search engine
startup, and will make its tool free to all in a few months after enhancing the
product. Its AI recognizes authors and citations between papers so it can
surface the most important research instead of just what has the best SEO. It
also provides free full-text access to 18,000 journals and literature sources.
7. Some government agencies with
scientific information on their websites

results citations.
10. NTIS (National Technical Information
Service)
NTIS is part of “America’s Data Agency,” the U.S. Department of Commerce.
NTIS helps federal agencies make better decisions about data, with data. NTIS
provide the support and structure that helps its partners securely store,
analyze, sort, and aggregate data in new ways.
Created after World War II, it was designed to serve as the U.S. government’s
repository for scientific research and information. It houses more than 3
million publications, with data covering topics that range from aerodynamics
to urban development. The archive spans the Manhattan project to present.
National Technical Reports Library: https://ntrl.ntis.gov/NTRL/
11. PubMed
PubMed is a database created and maintained by the US National Library of
Medicine and National Institutes of Health
PubMed comprises more than 26 million citations for biomedical literature
from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include
links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites – or
they may not, but if you have a citation, we can use it to possibly locate the
article elsewhere on the web, or via Interlibrary loan for DOI employees
You can limit your search to return only those results where the full text of
articles is available, or even free full text, should you choose to (this depends
on your research needs).
12. JSTOR
JSTOR can be accessed at https://www.jstor.org/
If you are a DOI employee, you can login to JSTOR via the Library website and
access the following collections: The JSTOR collections we subscribe to
include:
Life Sciences collection
Health and General Sciences collection
Arts & Sciences I
Arts & Sciences II
Arts & Sciences VII
Early Journal Content collection
If you’re not a DOI employee, our library is open to the public and you can
come in to the library to access JSTOR. Other options include searching on the
web and logging in via your public or academic library account – many
libraries have JSTOR access that may allow you full text access
13. Additional Sources for Technical Reports
on the Web
HathiTrust.org - a partnership of major research institutions and libraries
working to ensure that the cultural record is preserved and accessible long
into the future
TRAIL – Technical Report Archive and Image Library: (TRAIL) identifies,
acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S.
government agency technical reports, which can be searched at
http://www.technicalreports.org/trail/search/
NASA Technical Reports: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) provides
access to aerospace-related citations, full-text online documents, and images
and videos. The types of information include: conference papers, journal
articles, meeting papers, patents, research reports, images, movies, and
technical videos – scientific and technical information (STI) created or funded
by NASA. Ntrs.nasa.gov
14. Directory of Open Access Journals
The Directory of Open Access Journals can be accessed at https://doaj.org/
The Directory of Open Access Journals was launched in 2003 at Lund
University, Sweden, with 300 open access journals and today contains about
9000 open access journals covering all areas of science, technology, medicine,
social science and humanities. This is a database of high quality, peer
reviewed Open Access research journals, periodicals, and their articles'
metadata
Also includes international resources and information in other languages
15. A few other resources to consider
The US Department of Health and Human Services maintains a grey literature
database of federal, international and agency resources around the topic of
disaster medicine and public health at https://disasterlit.nlm.nih.gov/ (Grey
literature is defined as "That which is produced on all levels of government,
academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is
not controlled by commercial publishers."
Smithsonian Collections: Science & Technology:
http://collections.si.edu/search/
Us Department of Defense – Technical Information Center, found at
http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/search/tr/journal.html
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a United States government
agency that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-
medical fields of science and engineering. Its medical counterpart is
the National Institutes of Health.
NSF maintains a website called Science360,
https://www.science360.gov/files/ with a collection of videos from
universities, research centers, and other government bodies, dealing with
scientific topics of general interest
16. Internet Archive/Wayback Machine
Now, let’s say that you know a website had some information you needed
back in time, but you don’t see it there now. If you know the exact URL, you
can visit the Wayback Machine and see if the page was archived during the
relevant time period. For example, I can check the DOI Library’s page and see
what it looked like by copying the URL and pasting it into the Wayback
Machine: https://archive.org/web/
We can see that the first snapshot of this page was captured on November 22,
2011 and it looked very different than it does now!
Sometimes links don’t work and formats may not come through but this can
often be a good source of actual data or a link to some obscure information –
it is always worth checking.
Additionally, if there is information you’d like to be preserved, you can always
request that the Wayback Machine take a snapshot
17. When in doubt, ask a librarian!
Many of these pages have Help pages, with tutorials and even people to ask
for search advice. Use them - that’s why they are there.
Ask a friendly librarian! We love helping people find information, and since
connecting people with information is what we do all day…we just may know
something you haven’t thought of. Sometimes we can call in a favor with
another librarian or source and get what you need…it never hurts to ask!
The DOI Library can be reached at library@ios.doi.gov or we are a simple
phone call away: (202)208-5815
You can also submit requests for help via our website form, found at
https://www.doi.gov/library/interior-library-contact-form
Many other federal agencies also have libraries and librarians who can help
you, or you can also use the “Ask a Librarian” feature on the Library of
Congress website (which also has some great science and technical
databases)
