About 40 watercolor art works by members of the Southwestern Watercolor Society (SWS) are now on display in the South Campus (main) Library. Topics include city streetscapes, nature scenes, portraits, animals, and abstracts. The works will remain on display through the end of the year. On Saturday, October 19, 2013, from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m., the Watercolor Society will be hosting a reception on the Main Floor of the South Campus (main) Library to open their art show.

Southwestern Watercolor Society, a non-profit organization celebrating its 50th anniversary, was founded in 1963 to promote fine arts in our community, and to provide artists with opportunities for education, exhibition, and interaction with other artists. SWS meets monthly, offering informational and educational demonstrations by local and nationally recognized artists.

js_structure_editorSciFinder, a chemical and other sciences research database, now features a new version of the CAS Structure Editor that does not require the use of a Java plugin. The Java version of the editor is still available for your users, who can now easily select their preferred editor.

The new editor queries the same content
researchers have always accessed. There is some missing functionality in the new editor. SciFinder chose to release the limited version due to the pressing need of some users who were experiencing Java-related issues. For more information on the plugin-free, Non-Java CAS Structure Editor, visit http://www.cas.org/products/scifinder/system-requirements-web.

Additionally, the latest SciFinder release features the following updates:

  • Analyze reaction answer sets by reagent to more quickly identify your synthesis of interest.
  • View substance and supplier information simultaneously now that our popular Quick View feature is available from Commercial Sources answer sets. In addition, many top catalog entries now feature direct links to supplier emails from right within SciFinder.
  • Update account information more easily with a new account management link to myCAS® available in Preferences.
  • SciPlannerTM how-to guides are now more easily accessible to help you make use of the full power of the features and functionality available within SciPlanner.
