Web of Science now includes access to the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI). CPCI covers papers published in approximately 120,000 conference proceedings from 1990 to the present and is updated weekly, with nearly 400,000 records from 12,000 conferences added each year. Queen's researchers can now search journal and conference literature simultaneously and retrieve cited references from both collections.

The Chemical Abstracts Service has launched a web-based version of the CAS Source Index (CASSI), which is available at http://cassi.cas.org. CASSI contains titles and abbreviations, among other bibliographic data, for publications indexed in Chemical Abstracts and SciFinder.

Comprehensive 10-year statistical overview, plus analysis of the present situation and long-term outlook for the chemical industry.

The results of the 2009 AIChE salary survey appear in the August issue of Chemical Engineering Progress. The survey was sent to AIChE members who are U.S. residents. The survey found that chemical engineering salaries are up 7 percent from 2007, to a median of $110,950, and average starting salaries have risen to more than $65,000. Despite the recession, job prospects for chemical engineers are good, especially in the fields of energy, biotechnology and nanotechnology.
