CSIN (Chemical Substances Information Network) Workbook: U.S. Geological Survey Training Course for Chemical Substances Information Network

摘要

The Chemical Substances Information Network (CSIN) is a computer interface that provides a gateway to facilitate searching and retrieving bibliographic and factual data from a large selection of online databases maintained by Dialog, SDC, NLM, BRS, OHS, CAS, and CIS. The emphasis is on chemical and hydrologic information. A series of menus lead the user through setting up searches. Lists of keywords, which are tailored to specific databases, provide search terms on selected topics. This document is the complete workbook to accompany the CSIN Training Workshop developed to train end-users to use CSIN. It contains copies of all slides presented during the three day course. The topics covered include all system features, and system functions such as the editor. The examples presented are focused towards hydrological end-users.
