Chemistry Library News

As finals and the fall 2023 semester come to a close, just a quick reminder regarding changes to the Library’s hours over Winter Break. Most importantly, Olin Library will be closed and physical resources will be inaccessible to patrons from Friday, December 22 through Monday, January 1.

Winter Hours and Library Closures

https://library.wustl.edu/news/2023-winter-closure/

Most locations of Washington University Libraries including John M. Olin Library will observe a winter closure from December 26-28 that will be in addition to the designated university year-end holidays. The following locations of Washington University Libraries will be inaccessible to patrons from Friday, December 22 through Monday, January 1:

Regular winter break hours and operations at the University Libraries will resume on Tuesday, January 2. Details and hours for all libraries can be viewed on the Library Hours page.

All remote resources including 24/7 chat will remain available throughout winter break. Faculty and students are encouraged to reach out to their subject librarians with questions.

Service Adjustments during Winter Break

• Campus Delivery will be suspended on December 20 and resume on January 3
• All patron requests for Olin and West Campus libraries (holds, Campus Delivery, MOBIUS, ILL, Course Reserves) will be suspended on December 21 and queued for processing on January 2
• Materials on the Olin hold shelf that would have expired during the closure will be extended to January 5
• Starting December 21, items left in return bins at Olin and West Campus Libraries, Throop Drive, and South 40 will not be discharged until January 2

The University’s current subscription to the ChemDraw software is coming due on 2/25 and has been renewed. 

In order to continue using the software, it is likely that users will have to register or re-register with PerkinElmer again and download the updated version of the ChemDraw/ChemOffice software again once the current subscription ends.  They can do so through a self-registration process via PerkinElmer's Self-registration site: https://informatics.perkinelmer.com/sitesubscription/.  Users will have to find Washington University in the list of subscribed institutions and register with their WUSTL email address. 

The “Quick Start Guide” for registration and activation provided by PerkinElmer provides step-by-step directions with screen shots and walks through the registration and activation process and also includes clear information on locating the activation code.  Similar information about registration and activation can also be found through Washington Univeristy's library guide on ChemOffice: https://libguides.wustl.edu/chemistry/ChemOffice.

When there are software updates, information will be shared here on this blog.

Product: ChemOffice + Cloud Standard SNB Standard Bundle

Version: 22.2

You can download this new release at your personalized PerkinElmer Informatics Download Center: https://perkinelmerinformatics.flexnetoperations.com.

Please note, you may have to register or re-register as a new user as described above to access this update.

The University’s current subscription to the ChemDraw software is coming due on 2/25.  We are currently working on renewing that subscription with the provider, Perkin Elmer.

There shouldn't be any interruptions with respect to using ChemDraw. We expect that the renewal will go through prior to the end of the subscription.

Please check here for information on software updates for ChemDraw and for updates on the subscription.
