Abstract

The Internet has rapidly emerged as an important resource of chemistry information. Discovering the scope of the information available and how to find it should be a part of the undergraduate education of every chemistry student. Interesting, challenging, and relevant searches on the Internet motivate students to gain navigation experience while (it is hoped!) increasing their desire to learn chemistry. A variety of investigations are suggested to introduce students to different search techniques and reinforce and supplement their knowledge of chemistry. As a result of performing the exercises, students should have a good sense of the role the Internet can play in their chemistry literature searches.
