The American Chemical Society was founded in 1876 and is a not-for-profit
organization. It is the world's largest scientific society and has a membership
of over 151,000 chemists and chemical engineers. The American Chemical Society
was chartered by a 1937 Act of the U.S. Congress. The Society is recognized as a
world leader in fostering scientific education and research, and promoting
public understanding of science.

The Division of Chemical Information (ClNF) of the American Chemical Society is the source for maintaining professional competency in information resources, information technology, and information
policy. No other ACS Division is as relevant to the professional lives of all researchers involved in any aspect of chemical research. As one of approximately 1,400 divisional members and affiliates, you will
learn about the most current developments and practical application in producing, accessing. and using chemical information.
 
CINF Mission: "The Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society is committed to providing a forum for the exchange of information and expertise among the generators, developers, providers, and users of chemical information worldwide through innovative high-quality programs and publications and through opportunities for career development and recognition of excellence."

Questions and problems

2023-09-29T19:47:12Z

Amandashelton: Added name to missing papers locations

- missing text files:

* Cretsos, James M.
* Deahl, ??? (Files contain photo but no text for someone with this last name.)
* Foskett, Douglas
* Kronick, David. A.
* Mooers, Charlotte Davis (Files include obit. Is she supposed to have her own entry, or is the obit there due to her husband (Calvin's) inclusion?)
* Mooers, Edith (Files include photo of Edith. Is she supposed to have her own entry, or is the photo there due to her father (Calvin) and/or mother (Charlotte)'s inclusion?)

- missing papers locations

* Battelle Memorial Institute (It appears that Battelle has at least one archivist. Ok to contact directly?)
* Bells Labs (It appears that Bell Labs has a corporate archives and at least one archivist (Ed Eckert). Ok to contact directly?)
* Becker & Hayes Co. (As of 9/95, the file notes that "plans are underway to deposit [the papers] with the UCLA archives/special collections department." No update since then.)
* Case Western Reserve University (Cannot locate relevant materials, but the university has a special collections/archives department. Ok to contact directly?)
* Cuadra Associates (As of 9/95, the file notes that "the papers were still in the possession of the Company; No plans have been made for their deposit." No update since then)
* Documentation Incorporated (The file notes (undated) that there are a "few files in personal possession of Taube's daughter, who lives in Maryland.")
* Herner & Co (As of 09/95, the file notes that "there are extensive papers relating to the work of the Company, but no decision has been made about their deposit." No update since then.)

[[File:Manfred Kochen.jpg|alt=Manfred Kochen|thumb|Manfred Kochen Credit: rosefirerising. (1987). Flikr. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/|348x348px]]Manfred Kochen (1928-1989) was a pioneer of information science.

== Life ==
Kochen earned a B.S. (1950) in Physics from MIT and an M.A. (1951) and Ph.d. (1955) in mathematics from Columbia University.

== Relevant Employment ==

* Institute for Advanced Study
* [[International Business Machines|'''IBM''']]
* University of Michigan

== Contributions ==
Worked on the Neumann computer project at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, 1953-55; research mathematician, IBM, 1955-1964; Univ. of Michigan, 1965-1989. Consultant to a wide variety of scientific organizations.

Kochen believed that "authoritative, accurate, easy to access, and easy to understand information could some day be provided to anyone who sought it on almost any topic of interest. He saw collaboration as the key to solving many large problems--in this saw an opportunity for efficient and effective communication by personal networking, avoiding the slow established organizational channels that often separate us" (In Memoriam).

At IBM, he analyzed information needs of scientists and also studied and evaluated information systems. He was professor of information science in the University of Michigan Mental Health Research Institute (MHRI) from 1965 until his death in 1989. Kochen wrote more than 8 books and numerous articles relating to information science, including Information for Action and The Growth of Knowledge.

Myer Mike Kessler (1917-1997) was a pioneer of information science.

== Life ==
Kessler was born in Odessa, Ukraine. He earned B.S. (1939) and M.S. (1940) degrees in biophysics from MIT and a Ph.D. in Physics from Duke University (1948). He worked for the former '''[[National Bureau of Standards]]''' in Washington, D.C., taught physics at Brandeis University, and worked on developing radar and military guidance systems at '''[[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]]'''<nowiki/>'s Radiation Laboratory and Lincoln Laboratory. He worked at MIT from 1954 to 1976.

A brief obituary is available at https://news.mit.edu/1997/obituaries2-0827

== Contributions ==
Kessler invented bibliographic coupling. He was interested in citation analysis, application of ideas management, and instruction and technology in the administration of academic libraries. He worked on the MIT Technical Information Project (TIP), an early influential online search system. Bourne and Hahn's book on the history of online information searching credits TIP with several milestones in the development of the field (C. P. Bourne & T. B. Hahn, A History of Online Information Services, 1963-1976, pp. 42+). Kessler also conducted studies with AIP on citation analysis for laser literature.

Formally trained in mathematics, Hayes contributed significantly to a number of advances in library and information sciences. Hayes pioneered the development of digital data storage and retrieval, information transfer, systems analysis and design research, and international consultation vis-à-vis library networks. His work has had a major impact on information policy and the economics of research library operations.

== Life ==
Hayes was born in New York City on December 3, 1926; married Alice Peters, 1952; received BA (1947), MA (1949), and PhD (1952) in mathematics at UCLA; mathematician, [[National Bureau of Standards|'''National Bureau of Standards''']], Washington and Los Angeles, 1949-52; member, technical staff, Hughes Aircraft Company, 1952-54; head of applications group, National Cash Register Company, 1954-55; head, business systems group, Magnavox Company, 1955-60; Vice President and Science Director, Electrada Corporation, Los Angeles, 1960-64; President, Advanced Information Systems Incorporated, Los Angeles, 1960-64; lecturer, Math Department, UCLA, 1952-64; Director, Institute of Library Research, 1965-70; professor (1964-91) and Dean (1974-89), then Dean emeritus (1989) and professor emeritus (1991), UCLA Graduate School of Library and Information Science; visiting lecturer at a number of national and international institutions; co-author of various publications dealing with information storage and retrieval.

An obituary is available at https://seis.ucla.edu/news/robert-m.-hayes-1926-2022

== Contribution ==
'''OTHER INFORMATION:'''

Hayes taught mathematics and information science at UCLA. He worked at: Dean of the Library and Information Science Graduate School at UCLA 1975-?. He worked with [[Joseph Becker|'''Joseph Becker''']] on Library/USA - an exhibit at the World's Fair in 1964 to introduce online retrieval to the general public (Bellardo & Bourne). For both the Seattle and New York World's Fairs--see Becker's activities.

According to Farkas-Conn, Hayes had a "lifetime influence on the field." He was an expert on systems. He co-authored (with Joseph Becker) ''Information Storage and Retrieval'', the most comprehensive text in the field at that time (1962). He was a consultant on library and information systems.
