eXploreChemical Information Teaching Resources Ira Fresen, Gregor Zimmermann, René Deplanque - FIZ CHEMIE • IUPAC 46th General Assembly 2011
Chemical Information Today • chemical information in Germany: • neglected • no textbooks • barely part of chemistry education large variety of available data sources increasing amount of data many different searching tools and user interfaces resources for teaching materials are widely scattered
The Beginning 2004: first idea off an interdivisional workshop between the CIC Division of the GDCh and the CINFDivision of the ACS 2005: first CIC-CINFworkshop, formation of the CIC-CINF Collaborative Working Group, definition of common interests 2006: MISSION STATEMENT: “The mission of the CIC-CINF Collaborative Working Group is to foster a transnational dialogue to develop a shared approach for the access, exchange and management of chemical information.” principle aim “build a center for chemical information teaching resources for educators and instructors”
Goals bundling of globally distributed teaching material repository for deposition and communication used as general teaching aid hub in which the international chemical information community can come together to share, debate and reach consensus on teaching issues
Parameters for Development • Web 2.0 features • free use, open to all interested parties • easily available, applicable to advance scientific discovery and innovation • material adaption to individual needs (CC-licenses) • criteria and procedures for quality assurance • archiving function • target groups: instructors, librarians, chemistry professors, information specialists, students, technical writers
Work Together 2007: elaboration of the theoretical bases of the planned repository,creation of a metadata scheme, concept for content classification inchemical information, finding a repository name 2008: beginning of technical support at FIZ CHEMIE 2008-2009: technical tests with diverse CMS systems and archiving software 2009-2010: development of XCITR repository based on CMS Drupal 2010: launch at the 6. GCC Meeting (Goslar, Germany), November XCITR open to the public 2011: presentation at the ACS meeting in Anaheim, March

Outlook • more submitters and users extending to other disciplines like chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, computational chemistry further technical developments (e.g. semantic tools) more features and functions value enhancement through more submissions more advertising activities
Final • Have a look at XCITR • Tell your colleagues • Use XCITR material • Become an author
