Chmoogle Search Engine Integrates ChemSketch
Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. (ACD/Labs), has integrated both its commercial and freeware ChemSketch application to the Chmoogle® Web site <www.chmoogle.com> created by eMolecules, Inc. Chmoogle is the world’s leading open-access chemistry search engine. Its mission is to discover, curate, and index all of the public chemical information in the world and make it available to the public for free. Chmoogle distinguishes itself with extremely fast searches, an appealing presentation of results, high-quality chemical drawings, and powerful advanced search capabilities such as persistent hit lists and hit list logic operations. ACD/Labs has integrated Chmoogle into the commercial ChemSketch software and freeware. This integration gives ChemSketch users direct access to Chmoogle’s structure and substructure searches.

Antony Williams, vice president and chief science officer for ACD/Labs, notes that “the mission of Chmoogle—to discover, curate, and index all public chemical information in the world and make it available for free—is a worthy mission. ACD/Labs’ intention to provide a chemical structure drawing package to every chemist in the world at no charge via our freeware ChemSketch downloads is just as worthy. We are happy to provide an integrated solution between ChemSketch and Chmoogle to allow users to sketch molecules at their desktop and view their results via a Web browser. It is our hope that sketching and Chmoogling will deliver value to chemists around the world.”
Chmoogle is created by continuously indexing all of the public chemical information in the world. Chmoogle is attracting a large amount of the chemistry-related Internet traffic by industrial and academic decision-makers.

In Memorium — Dale B. Baker
Dale B. Baker, director emeritus of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), died 11 December 2005 in Columbus, Ohio. He had served as director of CAS from 1958 until his retirement in 1986. Under Baker’s leadership over those years, CAS invented database publishing by developing databases from which any form of output, printed or electronic, could be produced.
Baker started with CAS as a part-time office boy in 1939 while attending Ohio State University. After graduating with a degree in chemical engineering, he spent four years working as a supervisory chemist at E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., before returning to CAS as an assistant editor in 1946. He rose steadily up the editorial ladder, succeeding E.J. Crane as director in 1958. During Baker’s tenure as a director, CAS faced many challenges, including a difficult transition from a subsidized operation of the ACS to a financially self-sufficient division.
When Baker joined CAS, the organization had for decades been identified as the publisher of the printed Chemical Abstracts (CA), the leading reference work for keeping chemists and other scientists in touch with the latest chemistry-related publications. But keeping up with the explosion in scientific research required the adaptation of new technology. Starting in the 1960s, under Baker’s direction, CAS moved from the conventional, print oriented abstracting and indexing cottage industry to become a highly automated operation of international stature. In the course of that evolution, CAS developed one of the world’s premier automated information processing and retrieval systems, which served as the model for those in other scientific disciplines.
