Chemical Information Bulletin Vol. 63(4) Winter 2011
Message from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
The CINF symposia and events at the American Chemical Society Meeting in
Denver were a great success. With tie-ins to the International Year of Chemistry
- 2011, the meeting was as enjoyable as it was informative.
One of the most exciting things announced at the meeting was the results of the
CINF 2011 elections. Antony Williams from RSC Publishing was elected Chair-
Elect for 2012. Tony will take on the role of CINF Chair in 2013 when the current
Chair-Elect, Rajarshi Guha, finishes his tenure as CINF Chair in 2012. In addition, Leah Solla from
Cornell University was re-elected Secretary, Andrea Twiss-Brooks from the University of Chicago
was re-elected Councilor, and Chuck Huber from UC Santa Barbara was re-elected Alternate
Councilor. This excellent group deserves hearty congratulations!
Of course, now that the 2011 CINF elections are complete, one of my duties in 2012 as CINF Past-
Chair will be to nominate candidates for the 2012 CINF elections. I urge anyone interested in
becoming more active in CINF to contact me about being nominated for this election. I have found
CINF members to be some of the finest, brightest, and most fun people with whom you could
choose to spend time. Also, as the world of chemical information is a small one, it never hurts your
career to network with this group of people.
Another important thing that happened recently was the migration of CINF's Chemical Information
Bulletin to the Drupal content management system. The work done by the CINF Communications
and Publications Committee and by CINF webmaster, Danielle Dennie from Concordia University,
is simply stunning. They deserve our great thanks and praise!
Finally, I would like to thank two people. Carmen Nitsche from Accelrys, CINF Past-Chair, was a
godsend to me. Everyone should send her money and buy Accelrys products, she is that wonderful. I
also need to thank Svetlana Korolev, who, in addition to doing a magnificent job with the Chemical
Information Bulletin, was utterly gracious and polite when I was late with my Letter from the Chair.
If you have extra money left over that you haven't sent to Carmen, please send it to Svetlana.
Wishing you all the very best!
Warmest regards,
Gregory Banik, Chair, ACS Chemical Information Division
