Pharmaceutical Chemistry Program at NJIT

A university attempts to attract more students by introducing new programs. Today I had the pleasure of meeting consultant Art Greenberg to discuss the NJIT library's role in this initiative. He was a professor in the chemistry department at NJIT from 1977-89 and is currently the Dean at the University of New Hampshire. I discussed how our library has been historically underfunded as compared to similar institutions. I told him that in recent months I have bought books in pharmaceutical chemistry in anticipation of the program's implementation. Ideally we should get extra money to purchase additional resources. We should also have databases such as Beilstein Crossfile, Knovel, and Merck Index Online
