Charleston, South Carolina
NCIS96
Sponsored by the Chemical Information Division of the
American Chemical Society
Hear presentations from leaders in the field of Chemical Information.
Discuss new developments.
Learn about the latest software and hardware developments.
How is the information industry changing?
NCIS96, or the National Chemical Information Symposium, is a symposium
designed to bring together information specialists from
industry and academia as well as graduate students and end-users. The
changing roles that each of these individuals plays in chemical
information will be a primary theme of the symposium. One objective
of the symposium will be to provide a basic forum for the free
exchange of ideas. What better way to learn of other people's
experiences than to learn it from them first-hand. To best achieve this
exchange, various technical programs as well as social events have been
planned.
