Hi Colleagues:
RE CHEM 101 Labs:
There are 900 students trying to complete their first CHEM 101 Lab. There is a CHEM 101 Web page at http://web.uvic.ca/~chem101/. Lots of answers to questions students maybe asking at the Library Help Desk are found on this web page.
If students want help in writing up their Lab, they should be sent to the Chemistry Drop in Centre on the 2nd floor of Elliot (30 hours a week) .
The Learning Commons CHEM Office (30+ hour a week) will also be staffed but the hours are not yet posted and this is more for help with Lecture material concepts, not so much for their Labs.
The first lab lists Additional Sources: Students are not really expected to seek these out, but if they do:
- Their textbook, is available on Reserve. Chemistry: the central science, 11th edition (page 499)
o Reserve call number is pri 16000
- DA Katz J. Chem. Ed. 1994, 71, 891.
o Maybe you use Google, but UBC has a nifty tool to decode journal abbreviations at http://scieng.library.ubc.ca/coden/
o The Voyager web link note claims online access to the backfiles is temporarily unavailable, but that is not true. I will get this changed
o Access to the PDF of this 1994 article is at http://pubs.acs.org/toc/jceda8/71/10. Scroll down the Table of Contents to the article
- J. Walker. Scientific American, 1978, 239(5), 142
o The page number in the Lab Manual citation is wrong. It is not page 186. It is page 142.
o Call number is Q1 S7. Not available online.
I have contacted the Lab Supervisor to let her know of the citation error.
