This book is the latest volume in an annual series reflecting on current advances in chemical information. It serves to spotlight what is happening now in the broad area encompassed by this subject, enabling us to witness changes as they occur, to observe new applications of new technology, and to monitor the interaction between general trading economics and the advanced information sector. Further Advances in Chemical Information covers a number of interesting themes that reflect the somewhat uncertain times now facing both the information industry and its customers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Topics covered this year include a comparison of different services in the 2-D and 3-D search and modelling areas, rapid developments in in-house systems, and neural network applications in chemistry. The series is now also well known for its technical and research papers. Further Advances in Chemical Information is up to date, international in scope, and forms a bridge between industry and academia. It is essential reading for information scientists and patent agents worldwide.
