Photoshop: sessions 1-7

This summer we will be offering a series of workshops in Photoshop. Many of you use photoshop to prepare presentations of your research. Often getting your images ready for those presentations is a challenge - or maybe you just would like them to be a little better, a little more finished. These workshops will attempt to help you in this endeavor. Check out the instruction web page to see what will be offered June 12th - September 18th.

Scifinder Scholar

Leah Solla will be here to offer a workshop in SciFinder Scholar. SciFinder Scholar is a graphical interface for searching the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) databases. She will also be available, by appointment for consulatations in your office or lab.
