Ten Improvements on the ACS Website
The American Chemical Society (ACS) website got a makeover. They haven’t gone totally two-point-oh (thankfully) but they have made a few improvements (ten to be precise, at least according to their announcement), two of which are comprehensiveand at least 2 or 3 of which amount to the same thing. Still, it is nice a nice layout, albeit, a bit toooo web one-point-ohhhh and a little more 2005 than 2007. If you’ve used the features leave a comment and tell us about your experiences.
Anyway, here’s the top ten according to the ACS itself:
- Consistent, global navigation
- Unified look and feel
- Ten comprehensive categories
- Member focused
- Home page highlights
- Comprehensive search
- Easier to read
- Faster access
- One stop for help
- User Tested and Approved

It’s such a shame, they could have such an enormous impact on the semantic chemical web…and get the industrial end of the chemical spectrum massively involved to boot. Mitch Garcia at Berkeley did a nice set of Yahoo pipes for mining the journals, I wrote about it here

Having checked, it’s seems that article searching still, shall we say, leaves something to be desired. See my earlier blog article on the topic at:
